I am exploring the problem space of assessing writing of undergraduate students in a generative artificial intelligent (GenAI) world through a double diamond design process. I first explored the problem space in order to better understand the problem, in Attempting to Define a Wicked Problem, before converging on a singular problem statement, in Converging a…

Good designers need to engage in many perspectives, oftentimes simultaneously. That is, the ability to move fluidly between different frames of mind throughout the process, from managerial to focused and from divergent to convergent. Additionally, strong and confident design emerges from the ability to integrate and leverage external support and diverse perspectives—to see things how…

Using the Double Diamond design process, I began exploring the problem space of assessing undergraduate writing in a generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) context. I examined the literature and conducted simulated stakeholder interviews to understand the extent and nuance of the challenge. You can view the whole journey here: Attempting to Define a Wicked Problem. This…

Human-Centred Design in Education Human-centred design (HCD) is a philosophy and practice of design that utilizes a holistic viewpoint, placing humans at the core of every consideration (Norman, 2013, 2016). It recognizes a complex, interconnected system and seeks to benefit the system as a whole, acknowledging that optimization of the local does not always benefit…

My remix of Sylvia Duckworth’s (2019) infographic of SAMR ISAMR is the combination of the SAMR and ISAR models The SAMR model, developed by Puentedura (2016), is a guide for the effective integration of technology into teaching and learning. It offers four levels of technology integrated learning including substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition. The ISAR…

Human emotions, through sensory engagement and the perception of a technology, strongly influences the use of that technology (Berni & Borgianni, 2021). This focus on the human experience is at the core to User Experience (UX) and manifest when developing the tangible aspects of design such as utility, usability, function, and interface (Berni & Borgianni,…

Generative AI has taken the world by storm, disrupting innumerable industries. It can generate text, images, music, video, code, and the list goes on and on, with incredible results. In 1950, Alan Turing famously proposed a test for artificial intelligence: if you could speak to a computer and believe it to be human, then the…
