A great first day! Looking forward to Day 2's talks, chats and chatter. Plus rum. And hoping #museumofmaking has some of that rather nice school cake later.

Visit to #MuseumOfMaking @derbymuseums.bsky.social enjoying #ThinkHuman exhibition & all the connections with career as an OT. User-centred design critically important in effectively meeting different needs & great to see process + so many other fascinating aspects of human centred design displayed

Wall display in Think Human exhibition. Background white with coloured outlines of children and adults of different ages some with visible disability. Panels of text and diagrams sit over the top with text as follows: ‘User Centred Design. Human factors also accommodates people in design by listening to their views, needs and preferences. This, known as User Centred Design, is ‘iterative’ which means products go through several options and stages of testing to find the best solutions for users. By taking a holistic view of the entire user experience of a product, from seeing advertising about it, to purchasing it, learning how it works, and using it over a long period of time, user-centred design helps make products easier and more enjoyable to use. User-centred design involves four main steps. Firstly designer works with users to identify the context of use, including how, where and why they might need to use a product. Next is an understanding of specific user requirements, including what specific tasks need to occur for product users. The team then creates design solutions which are evaluated against the identified requirements to see whether they really work for users. This process continues until the best solutions are found.’ Panel on right has a diagram with a central square and circles with text around it. In centre: ‘How might you be involved in the design process. Have you done any of these. Might it be something you do in the future?’ Examples: ‘Attended a focus group about a new product; Received a product prototype to test at home; written product review on website; voiced complaint about a product on social media; used an app that tracks tasks and requirements and feeds info back to companies; returned a product to shop after it didn’t work properly; Answered a pop up feedback survey on a website; Accepted cookies on a website providing insight data to companies’.
