About Course

This course shows groups how to plan a project together. You learn to listen to users, share ideas, choose one and test it. Naledi Mahlangu, our Design and Media Lecturer, uses real student projects from Hatfield. By the end, your group will have a clear brief, a simple prototype and a plan for presenting it to your lecturer.
