Abstract

Journey maps are graphical and textual representations that intend to outline an experience over time with a product, a system or a service (Kalbach 2016). In this article, we first describe how this visualization tool is used in interaction design. Secondly, through two case studies, we describe two innovative ways of using this tool. In the first case study, we present the pedagogical journey map, a journey mapping approach meant to be used by teachers as a collaborative design tool to support the creation of pedagogical activities. In the second case study, we introduce the project planning journey map, used as both a prospective and retrospective project planning tool to help student designers plan and reflect on their design process. This paper is meant to support the use of the journey map as a prospective design method by academics and practitioners (from fields such as interaction design, user experience design, prospective ergonomics, education, and engineering) addressing issues related to the design of innovative products and services.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Those tools are much easier to understand than other process modeling tools such as BPMN (Business process modeling notation) or UML (Unified Modeling Language), not suited for non-experts.

  2. 2.

    PREMaTT: Penser les Ressources de l’Enseignement des Mathématiques dans un Temps de Transition, (http://ife.ens-lyon.fr/ife/recherche/groupes-de-travail/prematt).

  3. 3.

    The uniqueness of PREMaTT lies in the fact that it questions the continuity of the mathematics program between elementary and secondary school, in connection with new programs that introduce new school cycles, in particular the cycle 3 which includes the last two years of elementary school and the first year of middle school. The choice of algebra induces heterogeneity between elementary and middle school teachers in relation to the knowledge of the discipline. Middle school teachers are specialists in their teaching discipline and therefore master the underlying mathematical knowledge, which is often not the case for elementary school teachers because of their versatility. Despite the fact that algebra is not part of the curriculum at the primary level, research tends to show the benefits of early learning of pre-algebraic reasoning that would facilitate learning of algebra concepts at the secondary level (Kieran et al. 2016).

  4. 4.

    The activity is built on a (socio)constructivist approach where student is at the center of the learning process.

  5. 5.

    As the number of the step gets larger, it becomes necessary to generalize using a method that can be expressed in natural language or by means of a formula in which letter is introduced. This input activity in algebra allows students to be active in the construction of their knowledge with the aim of finding a way to calculate the number of matches to build any step of the pattern, or even to produce a formula.

  6. 6.

    To do so, we used Google Slides because the software was meeting the needs of the project: access to documents by all, familiarity of the software, capacity to collaborate and connection with the teacher’s individual, digital and social practices.

  7. 7.

    Isabelle Sperano and Jacynthe Roberge.

  8. 8.

    Ekman’s six basic emotions (1992) or Plutchik’s emotion wheel (1980), for example.

  9. 9.

    PANAS (Positive and Negative Affect Schedule) (Watson et al. 1988) or SAM (Self-Assessment Manikin) (Bradley and Lang 1994), amongst others.
