00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.000
Can you try a website idea before developing the whole thing?

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:13.000
A prototype models enough of the experience to explore a question.

00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:18.000
Choose the prototype around what you need to learn.
6 prototype checks.

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:30.000
Choose a learning question
Decide which uncertainty the prototype should help you investigate.
Unclear task · Design assumption · Research question

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:42.000
Pick a suitable level
A paper sketch and a realistic interactive model answer different questions.
Simple sketch · Clickable model · Code prototype

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:54.000
Include a useful task
Give the participant something realistic to attempt.
Clear scenario · Meaningful task · Relevant content

00:00:54.000 --> 00:01:06.000
Watch what happens
Notice where the participant hesitates, misunderstands or cannot continue.
Observed behaviour · Points of confusion · Unexpected route

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:18.000
Keep its limits clear
A prototype can look convincing without having production security or reliability.
Learning model · Limited implementation · Production work remains

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:30.000
Revise and try again
Use the findings to change the idea and check the next version.
Recorded findings · Updated design · Another useful test

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:39.000
Your checklist
Choose a learning question · Pick a suitable level · Include a useful task · Watch what happens · Keep its limits clear · Revise and try again

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:47.000
Use what you learn to improve the next version.
