Evaluation of the Potential of Ideation Tools to Create Technologies Aimed at Education

Abstract

This project aims to evaluate the potential of an ideation framework, which is based on the idea of collective intelligence, to develop technologies for the area of education, and to be more compatible with the current model of society, having more student adherence. The framework analyzed four tools, which are the empathy map, the user journey, method 6-3-5, and the Edward de Bono hat method was to use as a validation tool for ideas. At the end of the application, it resulted in the choice of four insights to be applied in the system, that is, the amount of system functionalities expanded by 50%, which are a virtual assistant by voice command, a video gallery and podcast, gamification for the user to be reciprocated, and individual study planning to particularize each case, and thus fostering the effectiveness in increasing learning as proposed by the project. However, after the ideas were validated using the hat method, only three of them remained. Finally, this framework has both a versatile, low-cost character and a relatively low application time.
