Personal Reflection using the STARL-P
Framework (Week 11 – 13)
This reflection continues from where I left from the previous reflection
(week 6 -10). In this reflection I will reflect on the knowledge and
experiences I had during the semester weeks. The course was really interesting
for me throughout the semester. The topmost skill that I have learned was that
how to design a suitable user interface for the client or end user. As being an
IT student with a major in software development, learning about UID was one of
the key requirements of my degree.
Situation - The situation is the
course 2505ict at Griffith University Nathan campus. This includes the workshop learning
experiences specifically for the workshop from week 9 through 13, and including
an overall course experience.
Task – The task was to
work on the stage 3 submissions by incorporating the skills and knowledge
earned throughout the semester. This
time I was mainly assigned the task to do the testing section of the workbook
document. We were two members working on the same section of the workbook
document.
Action – I have completed my best to finish up the testing section of the
workbook. Apart from this, I adjusted the layout of the document with some
minor changes in Grammar. The group worked together to finish the workbook
document for final submission (Stage 3 submission).
Result – The overall performance of the group was excellent. The quality of the
work produces by the team member was up to the mark according to me. I have
also produces excellent deliverables on time. Everyone contributed in the final
stage development of the workbook. There were some minor mistakes in the final
layout of the document, which were fixed just before the user interface design
brief stage-2 submission.
Learning/Planning – The final weeks of the User interface design brief course helped me to
earn the valuable experience about tool and techniques that can be used to
create a suitable user interface design or end user. My learning outcomes from
this course become more clear and organised, after the completion of the final
weeks of study. According to me, this course included the information that I
would need to understand before implementing any User interface design in the
future.
Personal
Reflection using the STARL-P Framework (Week 6-10)
The week 1-5 had taught me various aspects of user interface design
principal. Similarly, the week 1-5 also helped me learn the more about design
principals available to us. In the below sections I will reflect on the skills
I have developed so far in the course 2505ict User interface design. The course
is going very interesting from me since from week 1 despite of some issues I
had with group assignment work on the stage 2 submission.
Situation – The situation is the course 2505ict at Griffith University
Nathan campus. This includes the
workshop learning experiences specifically for the workshop from week 5 to 8.
Task – The task was to work on the stage 2 submissions by incorporating
the skills and knowledge earned from workshop 5 to 8. One of the key tasks was to work on the
requirement of the group assignment for stage 2 submissions and adjusting the
document as per submission requirements.
Action – I was performing well in the group by delivering my work on time.
The whole group was participating well, except one of the team member who
wasn’t attending the workshop classes. All the group member worked well to
address the feedback provided on stage 1 submission.
Result – Overall, the performance of all the group member except one was
up to the mark. There were some issues with time management. Some meeting got
cancelled due to the job commitment of the team members. We have incorporated
the knowledge earned from week 5 to 8 into our workbook for stage 2 submissions.
This helped me and my group mates to create a final document for the stage 2
submission.
Learning/Planning – I have developed my personal knowledge about user
interface design principal throughout from week 1 to week 8. But, this time I
got a chance to learn some advance topics of UID. These topics were more
advances from the topics that were covered in first few weeks. The workshop
activities helped me to gain the practical knowledge about the UID principals.
I have worked with my team members, and this helped me to realize the potential
benefits and harms in working as a group. The positive points that I have
encountered while working as group were following: - I got feedback on the work
produces entirely by me, discussed the best approach for prototyping, designing
mock-ups in the group was very helpful. Moreover, I was able to finish the
stage 2 submissions by applying the knowledge from lectures and workshop
classes. I am hoping that I will get the same kind of learning experience in
the upcoming weeks of study as well.
Personal Reflection incorporating the STARL-P
Framework
I have started my 2nd year 4th semester studying my degree in Information technology on the Nathan campus. I am enrolled in the course - 2505ict User Interface design. The course is about learning the principals of user interface design. The course is running very interesting for me, and taught me about tools and techniques available for designing a better user interface. I am also enrolled in a group of 4 people, which has the following team number - 1047

Situation – The
situation is the course 2505ict User interface design at Griffith University
Nathan campus. These situation only focuses the experiences occurred for this
course during workshops week 1 to 4.
Task – I was
assigned the task t complete the section 3 of the workbook document. The
section 3 was the biggest section among all the section from 1 to 5. I was
tasked to identify the target audience and various other characteristics of the
audience. All the group members also had to complete the workshop activities to
acquire the knowledge required to complete the assignment for stage 1
submission.
Action - I completed the tasks that
were assigned to me and also the group. All the group members were working together
to produce the quality work. The meeting were conducted to discuss any
problems. Moreover, meeting also gave us
the chance to help the other member of the team.
Result/Reflect – The
group work leads me and my other team members to produce the quality work. Every
team member provided his or her opinions and feedback over the stage 1
submission. It was quite clear that
everybody was satisfied with the other’s work.
Learning/Planning- I
learnt a lots of new user interface design skills, which I haven’t had before.
The tutor helped me to understand the new tools application and their usability’s.
The group work improved my skills about working as a group, managing time,
producing quality deliverables and lots more.
One of the key thing that I have figured out, while working as a group
was that everybody has different in terms of thinking and making decisions. And,
these decisions can be very powerful if discussed and implemented wisely.
Overall, I had a great experience through week 1 to 4.
