Doug and Mayel from the MoodleNet team spent three days (Weds 19th to Fri 21st September 2018) with Outlandish. This was follow-up work to the Design Sprint we did back in May 2018, and to UX Milestones 1 and 2.
We had an ambitious agenda for the workshop, aiming to:
- Allow Sam, the front-end developer Outlandish have assigned to this project, to get up to speed with MoodleNet
- Help define and scope front-end deliverables
- Decide on the layout/look/feel of both the desktop and mobile web versions of MoodleNet
- Create a draft style guide (in code)
- Develop a basic app (skeleton repo in GitLab)
- Filed GitLab issues for (at least 1+ month of) post-workshop front-end development
- Agree on the toolkit (incl. libraries) we’re going to use
There is a GitLab board to track issues from both this workshop and forthcoming front-end development work.
During the workshop itself, we managed to:
- Prioritise the above work, using a 'must', 'should', and 'could' approach
- List the assumptions we came into the workshop with and whether they're actually correct
- Agree on the front-end toolkit we're going to use and make decisions on components
- Make some UI decisions, building on UX Milestones 1 and 2
- Decide on resource allocation
- Figure out what the 'containers' would look like from a basic design point of view
- Start thinking about pre-MVP user testing
- Develop a basic skeleton app in React
- Create a verb-based list of intentions for MoodleNet users to help inform front-end development
- Experiment with ReactXP and other options to figure out if they're a good fit
