These learner files and the teacher key are publicly accessible. They are fresh relative to Days 1–4 and 6–9 briefs, not secure assessments or QCAA/school instruments. If you have already read a worked response, tell your teacher so they can supply a new local case. No actual stakeholder interview, client, venue or user test is represented. A neutral read-aloud, large print, full-word tiles, tactile layout or digital drawing is fine. A speech/AAC answer can carry annotations; a spatial prompt still needs a labelled layout.
File G · Paper Path
An invented weekend paper-craft fair has three activity stations: Fold, Print and Trade. Its existing handout shows only a circle, square and triangle, with no legend. A scripted organiser says, “One visitor asked what the triangle meant.” This is a line in a fictional brief, not a real interview or a measured pattern. The exercise permits two A4 sheets, black-and-white print, and no change to where the three stations stand. The actual room dimensions, users' interpretations and effectiveness of any new handout are unknown.
- Name the stated source for the reported difficulty. Explain why “most visitors were confused” would overclaim.
- Write one bounded design problem naming the reader, the present handout, the intended function and two brief constraints.
- Write two criteria someone could inspect on a proposed paper handout without testing real visitors. At least one must remove dependence on shape alone.
- Name one question for a future consented user check. State one claim you still could not make from this fictional brief.
File H · Studio Swap
A fictional pop-up swap studio offers Books and Art prints. In the invented room plan the entrance is at the bottom, check-in is in the centre, Books is left and Art prints is right. People go through check-in before choosing a table. The current mock handout labels the tables “B” and “P” with no full-word key. A scripted volunteer says, “Readers ask what B and P mean.” This is invented prompt text, not real feedback. The concept must fit one A4 greyscale page, name both tables in full words, show check-in before either table, and preserve left/right positions. Door widths, crowd flow and users' experience are unknown.
- State a design problem naming a stakeholder, present limitation, intended function and at least two constraints.
- Make two labelled spatial low-fidelity ideas that differ in a meaningful information feature, such as full words inside the room boxes versus full-word legend plus numbered route. Both must preserve the stated location/order. Explain the difference in one sentence.
- Write two checkable criteria, choose one idea and show one visible revision against a criterion. Annotate why that change could help, using the fictional brief rather than invented feedback.
- Name an outcome you cannot claim yet and the evidence you would need before claiming it.
