Learning objectives week 8

Continue working on the app you selected last week (or pick another relevant app if needed).

Map out quickly the main flows/journeys you go through (re-engineering parts of the user story map, focusing on the goal and activity levels). With the list of Dos and Don'ts (pp 16-20 -- sections titled "Consider Using Voice and Audio for..." and "Don’t Use Voice and Audio for...") in Laura Klein: Design for Voice Interfaces in mind, pick one or several sequences of activities that could benefit from being transformed into a voice based interaction.

Now create a voice flow to handle the selected part(s), either as a sketch (draw.io showing "voice bubbles" instead of screens, with annotations showing triggers and filters etc as needed, including also backend integration such as storing information to a google sheet), and/or as a real flowxo.com interface (or use an alternative similar service, considering also Wit.AI, Google Dialogflow, Apple SiriKit, Google Actions/Google Voice Actions/Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa if you're familiar with any of those). You are free to re-order the activities and tasks as needed, as long as you achieve the same goals.

Validate that your flow works, and do a test that compares the VUI and GUI methods, and reflect on what you achieved.

Upload one PDF per group 1) showing the parts of the (re-engineered) USM you created a VUI for, 2) your chatbot flow as annotated "speech bubble" sketches and 3) preferably also a working link to flowxo.com (or some other service you're familiar with) that holds the flow. In addition, 4) add a page that shows how you validated your VUI flow, how it compares with the existing GUI flow, and your reflection on this.
