1. Needfinding
My observations center around the design brief for Change — -electronic devices help people and communities change their behavior to meet their goals. I wanted to learn about the habits of parents around chiildren. I asked my 3 participants to walk me through their daily routines in relation to some sort of life way. I found that parents use electronic to meet their goals.
2.Ideation
Children have become an indispensable part of our life, they give us happiness! But with growing up in the process, parents also encounter a lot of trouble. Often heard around people talking about children’s problems, I am also a mother who has a deep feeling about that. Parents want to know the forefront of education/ health/nursing information, and want to share their parental experience. I want to design a product that can bring convenience to them. So I invited three parents to participate in this brainstorming, hoping to get the deep user needs.
User needs

3.Ideation
POV
Finding a suitable training institution nearby can be difficult, particularly there is no reference and institution list. Parents want to find a better training institution for their children, and the training institutions want more parents to know them. This app seeks to provide an simple way to show the training institutions, and let patrents apply to them.
Use my inspiration to come up with two different design ideas that address my point of view to address a user need. Illustrate each of these ideas with a storyboard.
4.Prototype
Firsr creat paper prototypes, then Using Nielsen’s ten heuristics, evaluators will list as many usability issues as possible and provide a clear and concise description of the issue. According to the results, create a low-fidelity wireframe of the first page of your app
5.Finish the Skeleton, and make a development plan
Create a plan for developing an interactive prototype.
6. Testing the skeleton
For our tests (off line and on line), our main goal is to see how parents and institutions interact with the training course. We have set up a version that institutions can add courses, and parents can enroll the course. We will measure parents can easily enroll,comment,favorate the course, and institutions can submit the trainging course information. If the parents think they can find the course and easily enroll it, then we will measure if the course details are enough. Otherwise we will measure the institution’s need, if it is easy to manage the enrolled course.
List of Changes
· Redisign the course detail page, add Photo module(User cant find the photos), “Comment” have been moved near to “Favarate”. (User think the information and the button should close).
· Change “Apply now” to “ Enroll now”page(User think shoule use the same language ).
· Add “submit” on the preview page. (User want to “submit” there).
· Redesign the certification page, the course details move to the course information(The user think the certification information is important).
· Add the comment number on the detail page(User can see how many comments there).
· Redesign the “preview” page, add Photo module(User can’t find the photos), deletef the discussion module(User think shouldn’t have discussion here).
