期末設計簡介
Final Design Briefs

這個期末專題你需要設計一個可以支持和鼓勵創意學習經驗的新工具和/或活動—並且寫一個「設計簡介」討論你設計背後的動機、理念和原則。歡迎（事實上，我們鼓勵）你以小組作業，可以的話，你需要與一些（sample）使用者測試你的工具/或活動。

For the final project, your assignment is to design a new tool and/or new activities that support and encourage creative learning experiences -- and to write a "design brief" discussing the motivations, rationale, and principles underlying your design. If possible, you should test your tool/activities with sample users.

場景
Scenarios

• 提供一個（或兩個）具體例子，說明人們會如何使用你的設計；並且討論他們會在使用時學到甚麼
  Provide a concrete example (or two) of how people will use your design and discuss what they'll learn as they use it.

評估
Evaluation

• 你會怎樣向使用者介紹你所用的技術/活動？
  How did you introduce the technology/activities to users?
• 當他們使用你的設計時，他們會學到甚麼？
  How/what did they learn as they used it?

發展方向
Future Directions

• 提出後續研究
  Suggest next steps for your project

以下是兩個設計簡介的例子。儘管這些設計簡介是在不同情景下所寫，而各有不同的目標，它們大概說明了撰寫簡介的方法及簡介的內容。

Below are two examples of design briefs. Although these design briefs were written in different contexts, with somewhat different goals, they provide you with a sense of how and what to include in a design brief.
