Project Manager: now we are going to look at finances I have an Excel sheet that we are actually going to calculate the cost so let me exit out of this first I know Let me one more space Going To zoom in real quick Hand dynamo We are using kinetic battery
Industrial Designer: we are n using kinetic
Project Manager: right ? and we are having one per One
User Interface: Guess it is doublecurved It is pretty curvy
Industrial Designer: I never did get a picture of those so I do not really know Our case material supplements oops we just skipped by them
Marketing: Well do not we need plastic and
Industrial Designer: No we we the plastic is the plastic for the inside is assumed The supplement is Oh I guess it was rubber rather than latex
Marketing: It was rubber and special colour right ? Do we have more than one special colour ?
Project Manager: we are using we are going to need at least two special colours
User Interface: Special colours is not it ?
Industrial Designer: I do not know what the se the basic colour is though
Project Manager: I do not know where it
Marketing: Well but we know that we are having at least three colours
Project Manager: So let us y say three
Industrial Designer: Well are we talking about on each colour combination or are we you know we will like we will have yellow and black Is that two special colours ?
Project Manager: I do not know That I thi
Industrial Designer: Or or is white and black then two more or
Project Manager: I thought that would be under yours
Industrial Designer: I guess it is three
Project Manager: We will just say three Maybe the RR will be in colour as well so Interface we are doing push buttons And how many buttons do we have ?
Industrial Designer: No Oh we will do we wa Are the buttons in special colour special f I did not get information on
Project Manager: buttons oh so So the case material will just have one colour right but then the buttons will be in special colours ?
Industrial Designer: but if we are making multiple varieties of this is where I am getting confused
Project Manager: We are saying per unit so each unit will only have one colour on their
Industrial Designer: Alright and each button s
Project Manager: but the case is could have up to thr I mean the buttons could ea could be up to three colours because that how it is designed there
Marketing: I like it like that
Project Manager: Special form ? They are all kind of just push button
Industrial Designer: I think they are fine Material we want them rubber as well probably
Project Manager: Oh do I have to do it per button do I ?
Industrial Designer: No I do not think so I think they are if they are all going to be rubber then it that is what it matters
Marketing: because it would not make sense otherwise because for the whole mat case material it is only one It is I mean it is two to make it rubber
Project Manager: what can we reduce ?
Industrial Designer: let us have our buttons all be one colour
Marketing: Mm I kind of like the buttons
Project Manager: Let us see what that would do It is only going to bring us down to thirteen point three anyway are we sure this is doublecurved ?
Industrial Designer: I do not know I did not get any pictures It is single curved
Project Manager: Well it is not the it is the kinetic battery that is kind of expensive but we have a simple chip single curve case material is rubber and it is a special colour but that is important Six buttons we have to have six buttons
Industrial Designer: That is important How did it get more expensive what did you just change ? It was it was thirteen and now it is fifteen
Project Manager: No maybe not I do not know what just happened Now it is twelve
User Interface: What was our target price again ?
Industrial Designer: Twelve point five Hey hey
User Interface: Twelve point five So we are just just about there
Project Manager: So we are I think
Industrial Designer: We are all set then
Project Manager: save I saved that to our our big shared folder so you know back to agenda are the are the costs under twelve fifty Euro ?

Project Manager: It is in the Well next I do not know who is next
Industrial Designer: Shall I give a technical talk ? Well it is my task to explain or to point out a working design We have that here how do you enlarge it so that you can have the Well alright you know who I am and what I do So we have this It is a bit unclear because I wanted to copy paste something It was originally in black and white but it became black and purple But I think you can read it well I think it is important for you to realise the basic function of a remote control well you can see
Marketing: Maybe you can select it So it inverts
Industrial Designer: And I then can select I can select on the dings It goes to the next page
Marketing: the p the whole picture
Industrial Designer: Well you can read it it is not too difficult Meanwhile this is a schematic view of how a basic remote control works You have basically the energy the power of the of the remote control and the sender w which is the LED the the the the the the the the the bulb that sends the the infrared beam to the no to the set And the source is of course the user the user interface is the the the buttons of course And the the user interface sends the the different signals of the different buttons to the chip and the chip sends it to the LED and the LED sends it to the receiver That is the that is the basic idea well I have put it in a in in in a a couple of basic steps the remote is basically just waiting for a user to press a key It does nothing until of course the key is pressed The key a signal to a chip the chip senses the connection and recognise the key So well you understand The chip produces Morse code a specific code to indicate that specific button that is pressed of course And it uses transistors in the in the remote control to amplify and to send that signal again to the to the LED which is the bulb of course Now the LED produces an infrared beam and signals the well it is very simple and signals the signals to the sensor on the TV set and the TV set also recognises the the the signal and performs the assigned task
Project Manager: So it is also why we have to have a button that says I am now busy with a DVD if we had done that And a button for TV So
Industrial Designer: Ah bu but we do not we No no but Exactly well this is the basic function of a remote I have some couple of pictures here It is a very basic one And if we if we are going to add an an LCD screen to it it will not look anything like this but This is very basic basically the the shape of of a remote control It has very little buttons and But it it it is it is quite you can easily recognise the buttons They are far enough apart and an anything It is not very not very hightech indeed and it is not very userfriendly if you look at the shape it is just a simple long box shape So we have to change a little bit to that so that it becomes more userfriendly and that problems like RSI and those kinds of thing do not do not oc do not occur
Marketing: Right Can I say something ? I have a table here about the l the relevance of the buttons the power button is used very much channel selection volume and teletext Well teletext is not an option so that But I think it is very important to make the power channel and volume buttons near to the thumb so you can not have RSI consequences
Industrial Designer: because they are the the most important buttons and you can immediately
Marketing: Right Make them big make them easy to to press
Industrial Designer: You do not have to look and and search for them
Project Manager: if you have the most used buttons all in one place and you keep making the same well moves
User Interface: I was thinking you can
Project Manager: But if y if you would put it at a different place then you have to move your hands and that is on of the things about RSI
User Interface: Are some of the the the
Marketing: that is right That is right That is right
Industrial Designer: Well you you can not have any every button under the thumb of course
Project Manager: No but the most important buttons m maybe you can just put them a bit apart so you would reject R RSI RSI
Marketing: But That is very important And
User Interface: Maybe you can make for for channel changing two little buttons on the side of the remote so you can just do like this Like some little Gameboy things or some
Project Manager: Yes I have saw that on m on mi mobile telephones they also have those buttons
Marketing: But is that is that useable ? Do people when they pick up a remote know that they have to do that ? It is a f it is a new feature you can make make a double feature l like a button on the top and under it
Project Manager: Well also i if someone puts picks up his remote
User Interface: but if you s say them up and down they they will understand it I think
Project Manager: If someone puts up i picks up his remote and he picks up it he he touches the side then he is a already on the next channel That is very irritating I think
Industrial Designer: But in e in any case the the basic function should be indeed and as you say at the thumb I think that is a good idea and and that the less important buttons like the the the different channels the numbers one two three four five as well should be well not in reach because they do not use it all the time Well it is pretty pretty basically as you said And I have some pictures of the inside workings but I do not want to get too technical because that is not very useful for you
Project Manager: That is your part of the job
Industrial Designer: So exactly this is how it looks from the inside And well that is about it I think Oh I still have this Oh I had to delete this but I had to make a schematic of the of the new But I had too too little time but do not do not look at it please I I think it is it is clear how it works Alright That is the most important thing
Project Manager: Nice Then Mike can give the third presentation How late is did we start his presentation ?
Marketing: I do not know I think w About twenty minutes ago ?
Project Manager: Well then we have still the time so But we do have to come to a decision right later on
User Interface: Well I thought everybody on the website would see the same thing but obviously that is not the case
Marketing: I do not think so
Industrial Designer: there are different We have all have different home pages with different links
User Interface: For instance you could not see this Well I am Mike User Interface Designer The the method ? Well I used my own experience with remotes took a good l look at the remotes on the corporate website which are these two
Marketing: These are already in use ?
User Interface: Yes these are from from another manufacturer This one is engineeringcentred so this one has the most functions and things I like usercentr centred also the best Well I thought that we reduce the the option to control the DVD also and teletext and that kind of stuff so I thought we we we would use more or need more buttons than this one
Marketing: But we have to reject that because of the requirements ?
User Interface: Th that is why this mm is not relevant any more I feel I think this is about the maximum number of buttons we will need I I kind of like the shape I think this is what we talked about But
Industrial Designer: You can not really see the differ from different sides
User Interface: No I have Well I showed it somewhere
Industrial Designer: you can draw it if you
User Interface: Oh I think we should go further with the idea of a removable front So we can can customise the
Project Manager: Well absolutely but i th they all have to have something about the recognition from our company So we can not just make someone w
User Interface: Mm ? It is a front It is not the the whole remote that changes of course
Project Manager: No but that is th the side they look look at is the front So if y if you make a a front with just a a tiger on it then our recognition is totally gone
User Interface: Or you can you can can put the same symbol on on every remote So l like Ericsson does every
Industrial Designer: We can put it on the on the back side
Marketing: We can make a symbol of the company right here And if you put a front on it there is a hole on the front So the symbols always on
Industrial Designer: so that you do not replace the symbol
Project Manager: Or the th the the lowest part of the remote is not changed by the front
Marketing: But let us not focus on the front
User Interface: Well so like I said I thought we would we would use more function If we we had to include more functions But we do not So I think this is about the maximum number of buttons we need Maybe some less Like eject we do not need and some other buttons we do not need I think
Industrial Designer: Mike can you put that picture from me on the in the Word documents file ? In Map ?
User Interface: I will I think for the remote less is more The less buttons the better the design We should go with that concept I think
Marketing: I have I have got another point there are two target audi audiences and we have chose for the younger one research has shown that it is a high interested in features They are high high interested in feature But they are more critical Fo critical So we must must design a control that really speaks to the people
Project Manager: Well what if we I at I at home have a remote that has the most familiar buttons on the top and the bottom side of the front has a little clip a f a little You can click away and then you have f much more functions that most people do not use but s some do do
Industrial Designer: Mmhmm I think the most functions underneath that
Marketing: Clip are not used much
Project Manager: Well but because you say they their features are important they want m a lot
User Interface: but what kind of features ? Like LCD screens and voice recognition
Marketing: Here look at these numbers The newest features are like I said are LCD and speech control Our audience these people are very like these features You see ? So we must build in something or they will to go to the concurrent The concurrent ? Competitors right So I do think we have to have some features
Project Manager: Well maybe w we could s
Marketing: Even though they cost a little more
Project Manager: On some calculators you have lo those little little LCD th that you can click on or something or that you can click out of the remote And if if that is gives you a little bit of sta status information
Marketing: Which programme you are l watching or something
Project Manager: Those kind of things because you also have those those program recognition for your V VCRs And well if y if your remote picks that up also you they can display which programme you are currently watching
Industrial Designer: So it it just signals the the different sig the different symbols on the screen you have because if you change to s channel two you have two on the screen and two on your on your on your LCD screen
Project Manager: For example It it could be such a little th that you can click in and out and you and you have it
User Interface: we should keep that simple too
Industrial Designer: But should it really be clickable
User Interface: No it should be integrated
Industrial Designer: or or just integrate inside to try to make it d more trendy
Marketing: just at at the top So when you s you sit like this you can can watch I think it should be at the top
User Interface: something like on some radios in car You Where it is walking to
Marketing: right It is a tickertape idea
Industrial Designer: But that is of course a bit more expensive than the basic calculator design with the scrolling text and that kind of thing
Project Manager: Well I think it is you got It just means it is a script that is keeps it rolling
Marketing: Well it is just one script
Project Manager: and it is not That is five minutes off implementing time I think
Marketing: five minutes of ja ja for programming So I do not think that is the issue Alright we go with the LCD screen ?
Project Manager: well I think so yes
User Interface: well we we we still need to know how much that will cost
Marketing: Kay Right I do not know if I can find that but
Project Manager: We are g No but we are we will have to look into that
User Interface: Or maybe you will get that information
Project Manager: we can use this board again I think we can put some decisions about the controls we want th the issue Where is my presentation ?
Marketing: I understand what you are saying We should have a general idea of how it is going to look
Project Manager: Well I mean we are all here now I think These I have already given you So we have to decide on the different remote control functions So we want to have a small LCD screen that is special
Industrial Designer: Should not we start with the most important parts ?
User Interface: At the top or at the bottom ?
Industrial Designer: The LCD screen alright but we should start with the power button ?
Marketing: I think the top is more When you s How do you zap ? You just sit in your chair ?
User Interface: but with with the LCD screen on the top it gets a bit unnatural Because most remotes have some space left at the bottom
Marketing: but that is where your hand ball might be We will draw two and then we will see
Industrial Designer: Maybe we should centralise the discussion here I do not know what you were talking about but we are busy with something
Marketing: he thinks right He thinks it is better to put the LCD at the bottom and I think it is better at the top
Industrial Designer: Uhhuh Why do you think it is better at the bottom ?
User Interface: well because most remotes have some space left at the bottom and that way you can keep the shape recognisable for everybody
Industrial Designer: But you just can put the the the the the whole interface a bit down so that there is room for the for the interface
User Interface: Well I d I think that is that is ugly but
Marketing: The the ticker The LCD is like like small It is it is wide It is not not high But
Project Manager: Well I th I think Mike Mike has a point because when when when I use a remote I l I hate the buttons but buttons at the at the bottom So and and I I like to use the ones on the top
User Interface: y you got to zap like this or you want to
Project Manager: So when I you when I have to have an LCD s scr window
Marketing: right But We are making a remote with with a few functions you know
Industrial Designer: Well that is a bit exaggerated Well I agree with you It is it is also more recognisable It looks more like a calculator to people if you have the l the the the thing on top
Project Manager: Yes but we we we we do not want that We do not want them to look like a calculator
User Interface: You want it it it must be a remote
Project Manager: We want to look it like our original but familiar
Industrial Designer: but you do not have to throw important aspe important aspect like familiarity completely away because I think it is
Project Manager: Maybe a bic better white We White ?
Industrial Designer: I think it is still important to have it at the top
Project Manager: Width format format ? Line width ? Width ?
Industrial Designer: because it is it is more familiar that way
Marketing: Th that is not a problem When I draw here it
Project Manager: It is a bit off
Industrial Designer: A little a little bit
Marketing: It it needs to be calibrated again Well
Project Manager: Well let us talk about that later
Industrial Designer: Maybe you should another pen Maybe that is better You e you only have one pen for that screen
Marketing: Alright we have to make a decision now because we do not have much time I think we have a few functions and we can put the LCD above it and still have lots of room at the bottom where you can put your hand
Project Manager: I think it should be at the button bottom Bottom The LCD
Industrial Designer: Well I am the I I am the designer so
User Interface: Oh oh I totally agree
Marketing: So We are two VS two
Project Manager: Well but what what if we we first decide the different functions and then look at the design
Industrial Designer: we we were busy with that
Project Manager: Because we have to decide this
Industrial Designer: we should summon the the different aspects of the thing So we have the power button
Marketing: And moreover I think that you two should be come to consensus about the LCD s It is your it is your job
Project Manager: Well we have a power button
Industrial Designer: of course it is W wh
User Interface: No it is our job For all of us I think
Industrial Designer: While you have to agree I can say it is like this and you must agree
Marketing: Alright let us keep it central
Project Manager: We have a power button setting buttons LCD window the number buttons
User Interface: The ten numbers ? ? | Industrial designer introduced the working design including the energy, LED sender, different user interface, and the chipboard with buttons on it. They could put every button under the thumb with an RSI.

Dawn Bowden AM: Thank you Just two more questions One is around emotional and mental health difficulties being experienced by children and young people at the moment Now there was a very welcome announcement of £125 million pounds for school counselling How is that in practical terms being applied if those children are not actually in school ?
Kirsty Williams AM: You are right Dawn : we have to consider how we can support children not only in their learning during this time but also to recognise the very real impact that the pandemic will have on all of our mental health and wellbeing—recognising of course it is absolutely natural for all of us including children and young people to have fears and anxieties at this time That is a natural reaction to the situation that we find ourselves in But of course there are issues around those children that would have currently been receiving school counselling and also being able to be in a position to respond to a potential growth in the number of children that are receiving support So the additional money will be made available to local authorities to be able to increase and ramp up services to support children and families In the immediacy of course that will have to be done in different ways than perhaps we have traditionally delivered services in the past because of social distancing and lockdown rules but we want to get some of these systems in place now rather than waiting for everything to go back to normal We need to be able to plan to offer services in the here and now but also be able to plan for what potentially could be an increase in the demand of those services So we have been in close touch with local authorities asking them what they believe that they will need and how they can use additional financial resources and we have been very pleased to be able to secure that for them
Dawn Bowden AM: So that would include things like telephone and video support as well I guess then
Kirsty Williams AM: Yes absolutely So that would include remote counselling as in a fashion that we are doing now but also as and when some of the restrictions are perhaps removed looking at an enhanced family therapy or a therapy approach So when we talk about counselling I think it is important to recognise that there will be some flexibility around this money and it does not necessarily mean that local authorities have to use it on a onetoone basis That might not be appropriate for some children especially our younger children and their families and they can use that money to provide counselling or therapy—in the widest possible terms—that is the best method to support individual children and their families But clearly we are having to do that in the confines of lockdown and social distancing at the moment Some of that money can also be used to support the professional learning and the professional development of counsellors because of course they may be being asked to work in a different way and we need to make sure that they have the appropriate skills and abilities to do that | Kirsty Williams AM mentioned that those children would have currently been receiving school counselling, and there would be more children receiving support. In this case, the additional money will be made available to local authorities to be able to increase and ramp up services to support children and families with intense need. Moreover, how to adapt patterns to deliver these services to the pandemic situation would be discussed. For instance, video or telephone methods would be adopted and one to one basis help patterns would also be included to support professional learning for counsellings. |

Project Manager: The production costs The costs are not under Can I this is the it is it is w way above above the the the twelve Euro fifty And what makes it very expensive is for example the solar cell So I guess we should skip that
Industrial Designer: Well it is very expensive
Project Manager: because it is not that important
User Interface: Why does the price and and the s oh one exa
Project Manager: the the price the the number of items and the the sum well this is what I would call our luxury model if you would if you look at the w w w what we could do to make it more to make it just between the twelve Euro fifty then I did the following changes Twelve Euro forty cents I came up with by leaving out the solar cells by not using the voice recognition feature because it is it is a four Euro addition to the price I believe pushbutton well It makes it the thirteen Pushbuttons are buttons are are not the most expensive but do add extra cost So th this design is not within our price model
Industrial Designer: But I am afraid it is not complete Because we use spec specic special materials the last item And you have not added one item there So it is c way too expensive
Project Manager: It is still too expensive
User Interface: But that is that is only for the buttons
Project Manager: I I guess if we leave the if we leave this one out
User Interface: So the button we can use plastic
Project Manager: And maybe not use the special form
User Interface: And the pla And a plastic b just plastic buttons a plas instead of rubber
Project Manager: It becomes a very dull remote control I know But it is the board decision And
Industrial Designer: Well b basically it when when this is our only option we should even consider changing the casing because I think there is very little added value in an enhanced case with these dull functions
Project Manager: I know Maybe we should look at an focus on another
Industrial Designer: So Type of m maybe another market segment
Project Manager: m maybe not not all that fancy but just way way more easy basic and m maximise the profits
Industrial Designer: That is maybe that is better Maybe we could we should go for straight and simple but that is not what has been asked So we should kick the boards Well
Project Manager: Although I think we but we could still make a remote control that ap applies more to young people by giving it another colour already so it is possible to make a device that attracts a little bit more to young people but I agree it is it is not a fancy hightech device Definitely not no It is not that innovative Or however you s pronounce that this is the wrong one So that means redesign We do not have the time o now to to redesign the product but we can evaluate the process and the satisfaction on how things went I am not sure if we need to evaluate the device first I guess
Marketing: well since we are not going to manufacture it anyway
Industrial Designer: Well maybe it is good to do it anyway because if we evaluate it we we can also determine if our objectives are good
Project Manager: We l we can learn I agree | Project Manager revealed that it would be over budget so they had to make some changes. He proposed to reduce costs by leaving out solar cells and not using voice recognition. Then User Interface supposed that the buttons could be made of plastics and Industrial Designer proposed to make the remote control straight and simple. |

Marketing: Kay welcome I have some new findings on Marketing Expert level which I will show you The method I used was giving orders to our usability lab to do a questionnaire one hundred respondents were involved and my marketing department generated a report with a lot of results these were a couple of findings first page of three we have three audiences of two audiences I am sorry the first one this scale from sixteen to forty five age the second one is from sixty four forty six to sixty five as you can see here the market share for the first audience is about sixty percent sixty five second audience audience is thirty five percent Mm and some interests from the from the age groups it seems like the young users of remote controls really like the fancy new technology stuff like an LCD screen on the remote control speech recognition I do not think that is really appropriate and when you see the audience the age is going up they do not really want it anymore at least the new technologies Second findings out of the questionnaire are the opinion the opinions of the audience about current remote controls First point is seventy five percent of the users find the most repo remote controls very ugly and eighty percent of the users would spend more money when a remote control would look fancy So that is maybe something for the User Interface Designer third findings According to the frequency of use versus importance investigation following buttons are most important I will tell something about the way this this test was done persons were asked what the buttons were they use most how much an hour and in the second table the importance of those buttons when you multiply them you get the these three points Switching channels that is pretty pretty normal that is what you do with a remote control the second teletext and the third volume controls I think it is good that we know what the user want wants at least the these three points have to be very clear
Project Manager: But it is strange that the the manage board the management board said that the teletext will be outdated by the internet So that that is strange
Marketing: but at the moment teletext is th the best thing you can get on TV like getting information So when you ask people what do they use they use teletext and not the internet on a remote control That is a ne i it It is a new technology but it is not incorporated right now my personal preferences I think we should aim at the audience from sixteen to forty five Mm first of all it is the biggest share the biggest audience sixty five percent second I think you will get the most revenue from i from it people from sixteen to forty five watch a lot of TV more than people who are el elder second point we have to impro improve the most used functions as I said here switching channels teletext and volume controls Third point that came out of the of the questionnaire people used to get lost off the remote controller so maybe it is an idea for us to design ex kind of placeholder on side of the of the TV
Project Manager: that is a cool idea
Marketing: where you can put the the remote control in that is about it I think
Industrial Designer: When you mentioned improving functions what what do you mean by that what what are you think about ?
Marketing: not not the r not the functions but it came out that a lot of buttons were not even used on a remote control So you can have a remote control full of buttons a hundreds hundreds of buttons but if you do not use them it is
Industrial Designer: Ah so focusing more on the used buttons
Marketing: they have to be on it j just to t to get it done if necessary but the most used buttons have to be bigger or
Industrial Designer: Could you use perhaps one button for multiple functions like example pressing it in longer makes it switch to an different function for example
Marketing: Just for the minor functions perhaps
Industrial Designer: ma perhaps just just an idea
Marketing: Just to get less buttons on the remote control to make it easier and quicker to learn ? Kay that is it
Project Manager: Thank you Tim Janus can you | Based on those findings, Marketing thought the main focus should be put on the audience from 16 to 45 because they were the biggest share, which could bring more profit. Also, Marketing thought there was a need to improve the most used functions, and therefore, the buttons needed to be bigger and for minor functions. Less buttons and minor functions would make it easier and quicker for users to learn. What's more, a placeholder would help users to keep remote controls. |

#Person1#: How do I apply to an American university?
#Person2#: You should go to the library to find some information about American universities, and write to the Admission Office. Then the Admission Office will send you application forms and other related materials. From experience, many applicants write to several universities instead of just one.
#Person1#: I was told that it took a lot of time and effort to apply.
#Person2#: That is true. I'll list for you the requirements of almost all the universities. First of all, you need official transcripts of your undergraduate work, three letters of recommendation from your professors who know your competence, and the official TOEFL ( Test of English as a Foreign Language ) score ( It's usually 550 ). Then you need a financial guarantee, and an application fee of 25 dollars.
#Person1#: What's to come next?
#Person2#: If they agree to enroll you, they will send you a TAP - 66 Form. With TAP - 66, you can apply for a passport from our government, and then apply for a visa from the US Embassy in Beijing.
#Person1#: How long will it take to go over all the procedures?
#Person2#: From 3 to 6 months if everything goes well.
