Week 5: Guiding Question
Dear pupils of S103,
Today is the start of week 5, and please be reminded that the first MMP needs to be handed up on Week 6. I have checked, but very disappointed to know that only a handful, less than 10 pupils actually submitted the chosen challenge. Please do so ASAP for those who yet to submit.
The next part of your journal is to generate guiding questions. Guiding questions are questions which are used to find answers to solve the chosen challenge. Examples of guiding questions.
1. Who are the target audience for my chosen challenge.< define the specific group of elderly.
2. Are there any existing solution to my chosen challenge? How can my solution be different or better?
3. How to ensure safety and comfort in my solution to the chosen challenge?< linked to ergonomic and anthropometry.
Research on the answers to the guiding questions and use the information to generate the requirement of your solution to the chosen challenge. These requirements are very critical and they are the guidelines for generating ideas for the solutions.
Focus and be on task.
Have a nice week ahead.

T3 W2: Journal Continues....
Dear Pupils of S103,
The start of week two, I hope you have researched and written the contents for the first essential question, " What are the issues leading to increasing aging population in Singapore?". During my absence today, please continue with the journal, concentrating on these two essential questions," What are the issues surfaced due to increasing aging population in Singapore?" and " How aging impact the life of an Elderly?".
You can refer to the first publication and the followings for references to write on the second essential question.
Research Paper
Videos clips for references:
The third essential question, How aging impact the life on an elderly? is about the challenges faced by the elderly. This essential question is important for the making of the first multimedia presentation, thus it is important for you to think through and research thoroughly in writing this part. Please do create a mindmap to consolidate the challenges faced by the elderly. example, health> fragile bone> mobility challenge> walking...etc etc.....
I will check and monitor your progress the next ADMT lesson. Essential Questions must be completed by week three so that you have enough information and time to plan and work on your first multimedia presentation.
Have a good week ahead!
Cheers,
Edwin Lim

Identifying Bad Design
Go to the baddesigns.com website. Take a moment to study the products and situations that are listed in the site. These are some typical examples of designs or situations that are badly-designed, and might lead on to rather unpleasant product or usage experiences by the users.
Based on these examples:
Showcase a few products or situations that you can use and highlight as an example of something that is badly designed, whether be it a product, or a situation
Put these as a blogpost in your personal ADMT blogs.
Place the link/s to your posts in the comments section of this post
Remember to include these items in your blog post:
The problem (product or situation)
Proposed solution
A picture or pictures of the product/situation (do remember to quite your photo sources if they are taken from some other sites!)
You can use this mechanical pencil example as a guide
