Design Ideation Process

Ideation is the process of generating creative thoughts on the design directions. These ideas can then be used to kick off the iterative design process. Generating these ideas in the beginning of the design process will ultimately lead to a better e-learning system. Our team used the following ideation techniques at the beginning of our Summer Semester:

• Mind Resetting Activities
• Flickrstorm
• Exploring the Unknown
• Positive/Negative Cycles
• The Oracle
• Ideas Around the World
• Interaction Relabeling
