These resources will be removed by end of Summer Term 2025.

Switch to our new teaching resources now - designed by teachers and leading subject experts, and tested in classrooms.

Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Designers gather user feedback to iterate prototypes.
  2. Designers analyse the user feedback to iterate prototypes.

Keywords

  • Iterate - process of refining and improving a design

  • Evaluation - checking how good something is and how to make it better

  • Analysis - examining something in detail

Common misconception

Once a final product is complete no further iterations or improvements are needed.

Designers constantly seek to improve and develop their designs and products. No product is ever perfect.

Correct Answer: iterate, develop
Q2.
Is an interview a form of primary or secondary research?
Correct answer: primary
secondary
Q3.
Why do designers gather feedback on their final prototype?
Correct answer: no product is ever perfect and further improvements can always be made
only to confirm that no changes are needed before launching the product
to validate that their personal preferences align with user expectations
Q4.
Which two ways could be used to gather user feedback on a prototype?
guessing
Correct answer: interview
using feedback from other designs
Correct answer: user observation
