This Weeks Assignment

Upload one PDF per group (5 people max) containing your idea of "hearables" (earplugs and a mobile device connecting to them) that translates the workflow of measuring an audiogram to diagnosing hearing loss as 1) a lean business model canvas plus 2) an url link to a  functional  Adobe XD or invisionapp.com app wireframe/prototype by Thursday September 3rd at 23:00 to the peergrade.io course page - subsequently individually review the projects you have been assigned on peergrade before Saturday September 5 at 16:00.  

It is important to involve "users" in "user centered design processes". Try to test/validate your prototype with others before you hand in; if you get important comments from your testers that you cannot address before handing in, you can make a note hereof in your pdf file.

Note 1: You may also use other tools similar to Adobe XD and InVision, such as Figma (which has a free educational account if you sign up with your dtu.dk mail: here), AxureMarvel/POP or proto.io in case you're familiar with some of these tools, which all offer a free limited use version or provides a free license to students (as of August 2019), but MAY lack some features or be limited to only one project; please check for yourself. Adobe XD is free to download, allows multiple designs and has collaborative feature and can create a shareable link to the executable prototype; InVision may be upgradeable to an academic license that allows the same if you sign up with your @student.dtu.dk account.

Note 2: If you for some reason fail in producing an executable prototype this week, you can alternatively upload (even hand-drawn) annotated wireframes showing the individual screens and how they link to one another, as long as it is clear how your app works.

Note 3: Later in the course you will also need to draw other types of diagrams; you may be able to use the same tools as above, or e.g. draw.io or lucidchart.com for this.

Note 4: EVERYONE in the group needs to sign in to peergrade through the link www.peergrade.io/join and using the class code YZPSYK.
