▶ Lesson 2: Exploring products to potentially test
<br>The fun part really starts now for the learner, where they can explore a product to test and they can choose any product they have access to, which they can sensibly test in the classroom. Through this lesson, learners can discuss in groups, what they would like to test and learners may study the same product if they choose to, although we recommend that it would be better if learners could pick different products from one another. Once By now the learner has addressed a product to list of potential products they can test, then the learner now they must create a test log, which will outline use the things the learner would like WikiDesign.world website search engine to test see if an article has been made on the that product. If the product is difficult to test in the classroom environmentand if so, for example such as a gaming controller or even a toothbrush, then the learner can still choose the they may continue with this product, however testing may be limitedthey must only address problems not found by other contributors, where the learner otherwise they can finish off the testing at home as homework if they choose to. In addition to a test log, the learner is also required to create a simple questionnaire, to ask fellow learners, things such as how do they use the another product, how long does it last them, is it easy to clean, etc, which will help them in lesson 3 and 4has not been addressed at WikiDesign.world.
Once the learner has identified what addressed a product they would like to test, they then the learner must use create a test log, which will outline the things the WikiDesign.world website search engine learner would like to see if an article has been made test on that the product. If the product and if sois difficult to test in the classroom environment, for example such as a gaming controller or even a toothbrush, they may continue with this then the learner can still choose the product, however testing may be limited, where the learner can finish off the testing at home as homework if they must only address problems not found by other contributorschoose to. In addition to a test log, the learner is also required to create a simple questionnaire, to ask fellow learners, otherwise things such as how do they can choose another use the product , how long does it last them, is it easy to clean, etc, which has not been addressed at WikiDesign.worldwill help them in lesson 3 and 4.
Potential schedule:
▶ Lesson 5: Submit your contribution to WikiDesign.world
<br>This step is highly beneficial to helping improve the products we all experience, where learners can see that their work is going to contribute to the world that we all live in. Learners by now should have a product highlighted, a number of problems found with the product and suggestions which can improve the product, alongside better cleaning and recycling practices for the product, including any sources they used. In the event that learners have chosen the same product, they will have to create a joint page/contribution. The learner's contribution can be written very simply, where the teacher will show the learners how to create a page or contribute to a page properly, where the learner will fill in the gaps for their contribution. Once the learner has filled in the gaps within the new/existing page, then the submission can be sent.
In addition, the teacher will express how learners can locate contact points of any business and how they can simply send suggestions to them, whatever the feedback may be; this is a vital step in teaching the learner that they can have a direct influence in the products they use. The learner is then expected to contact the brand of their product, simply addressing that they would like to give feedback through the product page link they've made, for the company to learn more about the feedback that the learner is delivering. Once the learner has addressed the feedback to the company, the learner can choose to update the influence and action section in their contribution, highlighting the date, the organisation they contacted and to state whether they forwarded the company to the product page they have made. In the event the learner receives a response, the influence and action section can be updated by the learner in their spare time, if really interested.
<br><br>Notes:
1. Lesson 2 and 5 require access to a computing lab or laptops.
2. In the event that learners choose the same product, they can develop a joint page.3. It is recommended for the teacher to familiarise themselves with the page creation/contribution process
