User Experience Research

University of Sydney - Mobile App Feature Prioritisation
Project Overview
During my time at the University of Sydney ICT department, I ran a co-design activity with 20 staff and students to help prioritise features in a new university-wide mobile app and portal. In a hybrid paper prototyping - card sorting task, participants placed their most wanted functionality on printed mobile and desktop interfaces. This data was put into excel to create a heat-map showing visually the most desired app features (see below). Once analysed, the prioritised features for each user type were captured in a site map and used to design high fidelity mock ups and design specifications.

Design Specifications
I included the design research above in design specifications for implementing the Modo labs mobile app CMS (content management system) according to the university's brand guidelines. Some of these pages are shown below.
