Co-Design Output Synthesis
Use when the user provides materials that are explicitly intended to inform design, such as co-design workshop notes, concept-card responses, design-elicitation interview findings, sticky-note outputs, activity artifacts, prototype feedback, or participant-generated ideas.
For the current dissertation, co-design is not the main study identity unless a fuller co-design activity is later confirmed. If the material is ordinary interview data, use qualitative-theme-audit first and call this skill only for the design-implication synthesis.
Workflow
- Check whether materials are anonymized.
- Identify artifact type:
- interview notes
- workshop transcript
- sticky notes
- journey map
- prototype feedback
- design canvas
- ranking/voting output
- Extract:
- teacher needs
- concerns
- barriers
- desired supports
- design ideas
- constraints
- tensions or disagreements
- Convert outputs into:
- functional requirements
- non-functional requirements
- design principles
- adoption conditions
- prototype changes
- unresolved questions
- Build traceability from participant evidence to design decision.
Output
Create or update the path that fits the evidence type:
design-synthesis/DESIGN_ELICITATION_SYNTHESIS.md
design-synthesis/REQUIREMENTS_TRACEABILITY.md
design-synthesis/DESIGN_PRINCIPLES.md
design-synthesis/PROTOTYPE_ITERATION_LOG.md
codesign/CODESIGN_SYNTHESIS.md only when co-design is confirmed
Evidence Table
Use columns:
- source file
- participant/group ID
- evidence summary
- interpreted need/concern
- design implication
- confidence
- unresolved risk
Guardrails
Read ../dissertation-shared/references/privacy-and-ethics.md.
Do not overstate consensus. Mark minority views and tensions explicitly.
Do not label the dissertation as a co-design study unless the method and supervisor feedback support that claim.
