Design Thinking Presentation: Reducing Mobile Phone Usage in Class

This presentation details a Design Thinking project aimed at addressing the problem of mobile phone usage in classrooms. The project employs a variety of Design Thinking activities, including visualization, journey mapping, value chain analysis, mind mapping, rapid concept development, assumption testing, and rapid prototyping. The presentation outlines the activities carried out, their outcomes, and the rationale behind selecting specific outcomes for subsequent activities. It critically evaluates the tools used, referencing relevant literature and providing evidence of the team's involvement. The project focuses on enhancing student focus and engagement during lectures by reducing mobile phone distractions, while considering the ethical implications of restricting phone use. The presentation concludes with reflections on the Design Thinking process, discussing potential improvements for future projects, and is supported by academic references.

Using of mobile
phones in classroom
is distraction for
other classmates.

Visualization:
Visualization is the throughout process we intend to do
while using design toolkit. Considering the minimal usage
of mobile phones in an academic building and motivating
the student to reduce the usage of phone while in
classrooms.
The ultimate outcome is the enhancement of focusing
skills of student and more engagement of student during
their lectures.

Journey mapping
Its would be very crucial and unethical for university
management to demand for stop usage of mobile phones
on Campus.
For an idea of reducing the mobile usage, urging students
to reduce mobile phone usage in classroom by students
itself seems to be a problem.

Value Chain Analysis
With value chain analysis, the usage of mobile phone in
class room can help record the professor’s explanation,
take photograph of his lectures or sample projects, that are
not available on the dashboard (Liedtka & Ogilvie, 2011).
Reducing distractions caused by mobile phones in class by
keeping the phone in vibration mode. Removing clicking
sounds while taking photographs can reduce distractions.
Students will be barred from using internet while using
mobile phones in classroom.

Mind Mapping
Mind mapping is a useful idea to centralize the topic. It use
to generate, emphasize and give structure to idea from
problem to solution. (3) Mind mapping of problem “using
mobile phones in classroom” leads students use social
media or applications on their device to entertain
themselves like games.

Rapid Concept Development
With rapid concept development, mobile phones can assist
recording professor’s valuable lectures.
Some students gets distracted from usage of mobile
phones, hence students using phone can sit separately
(Tschimmel, 2012).
Sharing of class notes and lectures can benefit the entire
classroom.

Assumption Testing
Assumption testing with the new idea of using mobile
phones for recording lecturer’s notes can be highly
beneficial (Brown & Wyatt, 2010).
Permission need to be sought from the university to reduce
mobile phone usage.
Discouraging use of internet connection in classroom.
