Data for change [Theme&Target Audience&Research]

[Why and how I chose the theme]

When we get the list of topic, our PBL group chose "inequality" and did research. While I researched, I found the interesting news that children in the poorest countries have lost four months of schooling since the start of the pandemic. So I examined the relationship between education and inequality and focused on more school closure in education. Because school closure is one of the reasons that cause inequality during Covid19. 


[Target Audience]

While I had decided on my topic, I was in a bit of a bind. Because I did not set the target audience before the second presentation. So I needed to choose a specific target audience. Some people living or studying in high-income and middle-income countries might have no experience when they attend the class. I want to let those people know that many people even cannot afford to attend class via media, including online, tv or radio in low-income countries. Moreover, a learning crisis already existed before COVID-19 hit. So we need to be aware of it because Covid-19 make education crisis more divisive and deepening. 


[Primary Research]


As I have always been, I drew mindmap as primary research to what am I going to research in detail and get a more specific theme.

[Secondary Research]

At first, I did research in the newspaper to see in deep how is this problem serious. After that, I found a lot of data from dependable websites like UN, Unicef, Unesco, Demographic Health Survey (DHS) and the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey. (MICS).

After I found the data, I organised them by myself via Excel to colour the map to see which countries are implementing online/tv/radio learning methods for children. It took a really long time to find the data and arranged them :(






Data of "The population with access to electricity in Sub-Saharan Africa" was also hard to find. I finally found the data on world bank website because I was not able to access MICS at that moment. (I am even not sure they have the same data with this below)

Feedback and changes

   [ from mid point presentation ]  I asked 4 questions in the midpoint presentation. Which one do you think good/convenient for users to count the number?(on my sketch) - The reward/benefits section will be a good method to get more people using reusable cups - Hi Min! I think the staff one and scanning the qr code is quite convenient. People counting by themselves might mean people cheat and over exaggerate how many times they've used it  Merge 1&2 100% - I'm not sure, I can see the dilemma, merge 1 & 2 would mean people can't exaggerate (would using one qr code that everyone scans in the store better than a sticker, to save paper?), but if people make their own drink then they can't enter the use, so I would say 3 might be the best I guess you could merge 3 and some elements of 2 as having a qr code could remind people to enter their use when they are in the store - I think it's difficult to have users count their uses themselves. It might be best for ho...

Initial Design + Changes

 1. Start Page [initial] [modified] I changed the first page because the initial one was too simple. I want to highlight the main colour of Ncup by using the colour on the background. 2. Login-Sign Up [initial] [modified] I added sign up and sign in button on each sign in and sign up apge. 3. Register cup  [initial] At first, uploading the photo was just optional, and I wanted that users can see the photo before clicking 'done' button. But I got feedback from Armando that it looks more proper on the web, not the app. So I changed the button. [1st modified] I changed like the photo above, like big plus button and cancel button and put 'preview' function. But I did not like it. [final] It is the final design. While modifying the design and function, there were some changes in function. Like it is no more optional to upload the photo of tumblers. Because I thought staff in cafe need to check the tumbler image when they scan it. And I coloured green on the top background. 4...
