56 This is not an exhaustive list - if your team comes up with other formats for prototypes, that’s great! 2 PROTOTYPING STRATEGIES Diagrams are a great way to visualize a complex system and describe how it works. Try creating a diagram of a solution (people, resources, organizations, actions, etc.,) and sharing it with a stakeholder to discuss. Online Prototyping Strategies Testing a diagram prototype online works much like testing a diagram in person. Be sure to have a digital version of your diagram (a slide deck, MURAL board or a photograph of a hand-dia- gram) Connect via video conference, share your screen, review the diagram and then discuss. If you are using a MURAL board or other collaborative platform, invite the stake- holders to make additions or changes. Models provide the design team with a great opportunity to explore the form and function of a solution. Making a model is an interactive way for stakeholders to engage with the idea in a more tangible way. Build your model with cheap materials and scale it down if the solution is large (like a building). Then, put it in the hands of your stakeholders and discuss. Online Prototyping Strategies Testing models online can be challenging. Push your team to think of creative ways to share your model digitally. Take photos or video of your team using and exploring the model. Share those with the stakeholders during a video conference and then allow the stakeholders to ask questions. Further demon- strate the model based on the questions from stakeholders. Then, discuss and debrief. Meetings are an effective prototype when your solution is related to an event, a classroom experience or some other interaction between two or more people, designing a small meeting as a prototype can be helpful. Create the invitation to the meeting (including an explanation of the objectives of the meeting), create the agenda, any handouts or other materials, etc. Then hold the meeting, complete the activities and debrief the experience at the end. Online Prototyping Strategies Testing a meeting prototype online functions similarly to testing a meeting prototype in person. Be sure to take into consideration the context of meeting online and how to design for that context while meeting the larger objectives of the prototype. Then, schedule your online meeting, host the meeting and debrief afterwards MEETINGS ZOOM IN ON THE EXPERIENCE SELECTING THE BEST PROTOTYPING STRATEGY USING YOUR PROTOTYPE WHAT IS A PROTOTYPE TYPES OF PROTOTYPES Types of Prototypes Instructions: Prototypes can take many forms. Below are several strategies for building prototypes and testing ideas. Online strategies are also included for each form.
