Project Manager: Yep Soon as I get this This is our last meeting I will go ahead and go through the minutes from the previous meeting and then we will have a the prototype presentation then we will do an evaluation or we will see what what we need to have under the criteria for the evaluation Then we will go through th... | Project Manager introduced that the prototype incorporated fashion trends that people prefer fancy looking products like fruit and vegetable. After That, User Interface presented the product which looked like a banana and was bright yellow except for the blue button. The style was as simple as possible in order to fit ... |
Marketing: I do You guys are going to help me do an evaluation of the criteria So first I will just discuss some of the criteria that I found Just based on the past trend reports that I was looking at earlier And then we will do a group evaluation of the prototype And then we will calculate the average score to see how... | Marketing had some evaluation criteria in mind, based on previous marketing strategy, on the latest trends, and on user preferences. The team should figure out whether their product could solve the complaints of the ugly remote control. There was a seven-point scale rating for each criterion. The team would give commen... |
User Interface: It is bright It is
Project Manager: It still has your traditional black
User Interface: It is curved It is not there is no sharp
Industrial Designer: I would say when it comes to the ergonomics the form and stuff yes that is definitely more beautiful than your average However the colour we do not hav... | Generally speaking, the team agreed that the product was intuitive and had successfully incorporated main aims that the team had. The team believed the customers were not likely to lose the remote control since it was big and bright yellow with speech recognition. Moreover, Industrial Designer suggested adding an extra... |
Marketing: Two kay Are we technologically innovative ?
User Interface: do not get many mo remote controls with
Industrial Designer: It is all just stolen technology when it comes down to
Project Manager: But there is not a lot of yellow there is not a lotta yellow Course that was not really we were kind of forced to... | To start with, the team agreed that the remote control was indeed innovative with the LCD display incorporated and the way it could be used both-handed with an alarming feature. Also, it aimed at the recent fashion trend since it looked like a banana with a special yellow colour. Although some of its features were iden... |
Project Manager: We have energy source electronics case Then we have case material supplements interface type and then button supplements so first of all energy source we picked battery and how many batteries do we think this will probably take ? Probably some e either two or four
Industrial Designer: At four it is go... | Project Manager first introduced the budget and broke it down to parts like batteries, electronics, case material supplements, interface type and then button supplements. The team agreed that the push button, integrated scroll-wheel and the LCD display cost a lot but case materials were all the same. In this case, the ... |
Project Manager: h what did you think of our project process ?
User Interface: I think we did I think we did quite well
Industrial Designer: Just half a day you have a remote There you go
User Interface: Right from the start of the day We sort of knew where we were going straight away I thought
Project Manager: we ... | The team thought they had a really great team work experience. Everyone had put efforts into the process and gave opinions to design a good remote control. Also, the process incorporated different stages and new ideas could always be added based on the market finds. |
Marketing: evaluation Basic point have a list of criteria that we need to rate the prototype by then we will it is a seven s seven seven step kind of evaluation process So not seven steps seven scale So after we have finished doing all the ratings for each criteria we average that and that will give us some type of con... | The use of the LCD screen and the advanced chip cost the team half of the expenditure. Due to the budget limit, the team had to abandon some other designs such as the rubber material and the double-curved structure. The USB connection was not feasible for now as well. For the location function, a transmitter, a receive... |
User Interface: Mmhmm I mean one thing I mean ho how much extra would it be to to keep I mean keep the the articulation ?
Project Manager: It is hard to tell I would say that you are at least going to take double curved
User Interface: This is what I am wondering
Project Manager: and even then I am not quite sure if... | In the budget balancing, User Interface desired an articulation, which would, however, lead the remote control to be double-curved. Initially, Project Manager was not sure about this, for the double-curved design would go over the budget. Industrial Designer pointed out that a single curve would still allow the articul... |
Marketing: Oh wait a minute Sample speaker ? What is a sample speaker ? Is that somewhat similar to what we want ?
Project Manager: but at a cost of
User Interface: that is that voice response thing that we got the email about But I thought it was just completely pointless
Marketing: You got a email about voice resp... | User Interface told the team that the corporate had decided to incorporate a voice recognition chip into the remote control so that the team had to invent another method for users to locate the remote control once it got lost in a room. The team decided to make the remote control a special colour. Meanwhile, the remote... |
Marketing: Kay Ability to stop remotes from being lost or to find them once they are lost
User Interface: Three I think we can do three
Marketing: Three if we are being generous I feel
User Interface: Th the special colour does not would I think make a difference
Marketing: Think we are being generous here with thr... | In the product evaluation, the team was satisfied with its success in reducing the number of unused buttons. The user interface was considered to be user-friendly enough. However, the team also admitted that there was still room for improvement on the location function, technological innovation, the material, as well a... |
Marketing: Materials that people find pleasing Sponginess is what they really would have wanted apparently
Project Manager: It is Do not blame them because of the way that we have minimalised the number of buttons and such Plastic it sucks But it is no worse than any of the other pl remote controls we have
Marketing:... | The team had decided to replace the rubber with plastic due to the budget limit. When evaluating the material of the remote control, Marketing admitted that sponginess was what most users desired, which was the feel given by rubber. Project Manager agreed. However, Project Manager pointed out that a plastic remote cont... |
Project Manager: Is it inspired by clothing fashion ?
Marketing: But Th th they are referring to the fruit and veg thing Is this like a banana type colour ? Could we stretch no still it is not shaped like a banana is
User Interface: That is kind of i
Project Manager: It is kind o it
User Interface: it will not be w... | Marketing concluded from the market research that users expected the remote control to combine fruit and vegetable elements with its fashion design. User Interface disagreed with Marketing, for it was believed by User Interface that fruit and vegetable style was not the sole criterion for satisfactory fashion design of... |
Kirsty Williams AM: Diolch yn fawr Siân As I have said it is a bit difficult to place myself in the mind of the previous Minister when this legislation was first envisaged and then taken through You will be aware that there were four main reasons for the introduction of the Bill : around regulation of institutions in W... | Although highly challenged by the participants, Kirsty Williams AM argued that the Act had fulfilled the Government's objectives in regulating institutions, safeguarding contribution, managing fair access and protecting the principle of institutional autonomy. These strategic aims were still really important but in the... |
Sian Gwenllian AM: Do you feel perhaps that the legislation itself has not been strong enough and that you then have had to drive some of these objectives through the annual remit letter rather than through legislation and that is why the strengthening is required ?
Kirsty Williams AM: Certainly I see the remit letter... | The Act was considered that the legislation itself was not strong enough by Sian Gwenllian AM and Kirsty Williams AM agreed that remit letters were a really important way in which national priorities could be preserved. Moreover, it was stressed that it was important to make the distinction between the scale of private... |
Kirsty Williams AM: Of course the Act was introduced as a direct result of the changing scenario around finance and the different ways in which because of the reduction in HEFCWs budget the level of influence that HEFCW would be able to exert over institutions through the imposition of terms and conditions of funding— ... | To answer this question, Kirsty Williams AM first introduced the achievements that the new system of student finance did again shift the parameters of influence that HEFCW or any new tertiary commission could have in the different situations, as a direct result of the changing scenario. Moreover, it was a great success... |
Kirsty Williams AM: Well it is not something I wish I could do I think that we are doing it Selfpraise is no recommendation but because of the working relationship that we have I think we are seeing some success in using the remit letter to influence national outcomes So I have just talked about living wage we are also... | Currently, the government planned to use the remit letter to drive transparency over senior leaders' pay, the gender pay gap within institutions. For instance, it had been a success to use the remit letter and some funding to drive change and some improvements in mental health in the higher education sector. To conclud... |
Dawn Bowden AM: I think they were saying it was difficult to use for swift interventions—they found it a bit cumbersome They explained to us that they often take informal measures or actions in their role as regulator and they have explained that the small size of the sector enables good relationships to be developed H... | Dawn Bowden AM challenged that informal measures or actions had been taken in their role as regulator, and Kirsty Williams AM explained that the commission was expected to be able to have a series of abilities to intervene, from the soft, flexible type, which was non-punitive but actually allowed people to participate ... |
Huw Morris: In the Hazelkorn review there is quite a lot of focus on that and looking to learn from other national systems where outcome agreements provide a broader measure of the range of things the institutions do and a mechanism for tracking how things are done through the provision of information back to the insti... | Huw Morris started by introducing the focus on learning from other nations to track the information flows and help the universities in return. Meanwhile, Kirsty Williams AM suggested a balance to be achieved by each part of the participants. However, Dawn Bowden AM questioned about HEFCW's use of informal measures whic... |
Kirsty Williams AM: Well no not in the sense that they have brought them to me to talk about specifically From my perspective fee and access plans are focused very much on inputs and really I would like to think about outputs and outcomes more importantly—what are the outcomes of the fee and access plan not necessarily... | To answer Hefin David AM's question, Kirsty Williams AM first stressed that the success of the fee and access plan relied on the understanding of whether an annual basis was an appropriate timescale for a university to be working to, and whether a long period was suitable for the Act. Sometimes it was hard to make a fi... |
Hefin David AM: I will move on to managing risk if that is The feedback from Universities Wales suggests that with the outcome of the 2015 Act institutions with the strongest track records are more highly regulated than the riskier private alternative providers Do you think that Act has struck the right balance ?
Kirs... | Hefin David AM questioned about the right balance between institutions with the strongest track records that were more highly regulated and those riskier private alternative providers. Kirsty Williams AM argued that more attention should be paid to focus on the inherent quality of those charitable status which was rega... |
Dawn Bowden AM: Thank you We had some evidence from the University and College Union that were concerned about the governance of universities actually as being a bigger problem than the regulatory framework in many ways Can you tell us perhaps how the HE Act addresses the issue of poor governance or is it really just l... | Kirsty Williams AM first admitted that it was true that the Bill did not directly address issues around governance in the sector. However, establishing a more direct relationship with chairs of universities, especially one-to-one relationships with them, had been attached much importance and it was crucial to help the ... |
Sian Gwenllian AM: We have heard evidence regarding the difficulties caused by HEFCW having a legal duty to qualityassure all the provision in two further education colleges That sounds to me like some kind of an anomaly or an unintended consequence of the Act Could you clarify that and explain the situation in that in... | Sian Gwenllian AM argued that there was evidence regarding the difficulties caused by HEFCW having a legal duty to quality-assure all the provisions in two further education colleges. This process was regarded as an anomaly or an unintended consequence of the Act. Sian Gwenllian AM wanted Kirsty Williams AM to explain ... |
Kirsty Williams AM: Thank you My understanding—and as I said it is a bit difficult because I can not put myself into the thought process of the Minister at the time and what his expectation was But certainly my understanding is that it was not an unintended consequence it was an expectation built into the Act that HEFC... | Kirsty Williams AM first explained that it was a bit difficult to put herself in the position of the former Minister but it was clear that it should not be intended. However, she explained that the Act was built on what were the quality assessment arrangements in the 1992 Act, which required HEFCW to secure arrangement... |
Kirsty Williams AM: I am aware and we have listened to stakeholders concerns regarding proposals to introduce a single quality assessment body As I said we recognise that stakeholders are broadly content with the current situation with regard to Estyn and QAA So we have been listening to that following the technical co... | Kirsty Williams AM shared that the government had listened to stakeholders' concerns regarding proposals to introduce a single quality assessment body. And she stressed that the principles underlying any assurance regime would need to be coherent, effective and comprehensive. Besides, the quality framework should cover... |
Professor B: Well but we never also we ve also never done it
Postdoc A: This is the first cycle There are bound to be some glitches the first time through
Professor B: So And and I m sorry responding without having much knowledge but the thing is I am like one of these people who gets a gazillion mails and and stuff ... | The team decided to release their data on July 15th, but they still wanted to give people time to bleep things from the transcripts. There was skepticism that they could actually reach out to people and get everyone's consent that they were okay with whatever was being released. |
Professor B: It well it well you are right Sometimes somebody will be pause away and you know there s for any length of time that you choose pause there is some person sometime who will not pause end up reading it That s it s you know just a certain risk to take
PhD H: S so maybe when Am I on by the way ?
Grad F: I d... | The team thought that people would not respond to their emails, which would be compounded by them being out of town over the summer. Based on knowledge about similar data collection, they thought that emails should be enough, but skepticism about getting consent with emails prevailed. |
Grad F: So I do not expect anyone to But
Professor B: So w what follows ? At some point y you go around and get people to sign something ?
Grad F: No We had spoken w about this before and we had decided that they have they only needed to sign once And the agreement that they already signed simply said that we would g... | Grad F was responsible for bringing up the topic. Apparently, no one had replied to the emails allowing people to bleep things out so far. According to Grad F, as long as the email was sent out, the team was covered. Grad F thought this had been settled when the project started and did not need to be revisited. |
Postdoc A: And then I also the final thing I have for transcription is that I made a purchase of some other headphones because of the problem of low gain in the originals And and they very much appro they mu much prefer the new ones and actually I I mean I I think that there will be fewer things to correct because of t... | The team decided that it would be a good idea to purchase headphones. They also ordered a hundred gigabytes of disk space though they thought an extra eighteen for backup would not be a bad idea. This was good because the team was currently constrained by space. |
Postdoc A: but they are just not as good as these in this with this respect to this particular task
PhD H: Well return the old ones
Grad F: It s probably impedance matching problems
Postdoc A: I do not know exactly but we chose them because that s what s been used here by prominent projects in transcription So it i ... | Postdoc A thought that the original headphones had low gain, so he purchased new earphones. He informed the team that he just bought them from Cambridge SoundWorks down the street. They always have them in stock. |
Professor B: No but you would If you w we should get it
Grad F: But if you need it just get it
Postdoc A: It would just have to be a s a separate order an added order
Grad D: I still I still need to get a pair too
Professor B: They are they are they are they are pretty inexpensive
PhD E: that We should order a cou... | The professor thought that anyone who needed headphones should purchase them since they were not very expensive. He wanted to get the discussion about disk space out of the way. He informed the team that he had ordered a hundred gigabytes. |
Industrial Designer: they are in the LCD panel and the jogdial ?
Project Manager: So w what kind of thing is going to be
Industrial Designer: The LCD panel just displays functionally what you are doing If you are using an advanced function right like c brightness contrast whatever it will just say You know it is like... | User Interface indicated to have a simple LCD screen to cut down the budget, while Industrial Designer suggested the application of a little more complex LCD panel, like the number pad, could display the advanced functions possibly used by the users. Marketing and Project Manager agreed with Industrial Designer. Next, ... |
Industrial Designer: say a buttons about this size right so you would still have plenty of space for a slogan say even for that
Project Manager: So if this is not to scale what kind of dimensions are you thinking about here ?
User Interface: Well we want the other buttons to be big enough to push easily with a finger... | The button was red with a width of three centimeters and a half. As for the function, it could be used as a confirm button for the LCD screen and a power button if the user held it for around two seconds. |
User Interface: were going to have the volume control here but because we have got the the LCD and the jogdial we just thought we would use that as the volume
Project Manager: jogdial for volume And what else do you do with the jogdial ?
User Interface: you can use it for more advanced functions like contrast colour ... | The jog dial can be used to control volume, contrast, brightness, channels, auxiliary inputs, color, sharpness, sound, audio, left-right balance, and pre-programmed sound modes. |
Project Manager: then I would say two or three
Industrial Designer: Wait what is the scale one to seven right ?
User Interface: Ones highish is not it ? Ah so two or three
Marketing: Let us go with two point five then
Project Manager: Well it has the wee jogdial
Marketing: so we have had to remove a few of our fea... | Project Manager wanted the members to evaluate the whole process of the project, such as the system, leadership, teamwork, and tools given. The meeting system was considered creative yet inefficient as the early designs were found generally out of budget. As for leadership, the process was a bit too structured. As for ... |
Marketing: Sure so what is it you are asking of me now ?
Project Manager: I do not know just your opinion on those four those four points really and how we used them
Marketing: Or sort of our work on setting this up Well is it I will just go through your system then The the room is fairly institutional but the main t... | Marketing thought Project Manager's system was fairly institutional with a central point of creativity, but the group ought to focus more on the stylish look and technology and make a proper consideration on the budget. |
Industrial Designer: You feel like you are caged within whatever y It is like a balloon in a cage it can only go so big and not hit the side The constraints do come in very fast
Project Manager: actually let us take each point and everybody discuss it I think So still on the topic of room for creativity next up is Cra... | Industrial Designer thought the meeting was not friendly to the brainstorming. The restriction was not about the atmosphere but related to the actual environment and the limited time for discussion. Besides, the interaction was structured, meaning each individual took charge of one particular task without enough collab... |
User Interface: Right Thank you Mines not quite as complicated as all that
Project Manager: That is what we like to hear
User Interface: Did I press function ?
Project Manager: Is it control function ei Oh th there you go
User Interface: Oh so I am going to talk a bit about the technical functions design I am Louis... | User Interface preferred a more user-friendly remote with nice big buttons and limited number of buttons. She also gave her suggestions about the symbol and colour of the remote. Then, they discussed the number of buttons on the remote. |
User Interface: Oh so I am going to talk a bit about the technical functions design I am Louisa the User Interface Designer as you know so the m basic method of this is to send a signal from the remote to the television set so that a desired function is performed an example of the function could be to change the volume... | User Interface suggested that they could design the symbols and colours for the remote. However, the Project Manager reminded the team that they should put their own logo and colour scheme on the remote, which means that they could not design those things by themselves. |
Industrial Designer: Would you be able to get rid of the the extra buttons here the the sort of circular section because that seems to be for a video as well So we could dispense with that little bit as well and just get it down to just the numbers and the volume Possibly ?
User Interface: What do you mean by the circ... | The team agreed that there should be 17 buttons on the remote, including number 0 to 9, volume up and down, mute, channel up and down, stand-by and power buttons. Besides the buttons of brightness and contrast should be put on the back of the remote. |
Marketing: Right we have done some research into the functional requirements that people want out of their remote control And first off we should state that th the remote controls for controlling the TV and how do people use it ? We asked them sort of which buttons were useful for them how d how does a remote control l... | According to the research of Marketing, three quarters of the customers thought that their remotes are ugly. People only concentrated on the channel buttons, the volume buttons and the power buttons, and other buttons on the remote were seldom pressed. Many customers found it frustrating when their remotes were lost so... |

We asked them sort of which buttons were useful for them how d how does a remote control l... | Marketing suggested that the remote should be good looking and high-tech. And they should concentrate on the functions of changing channels and volumes. Besides, they could also think about using speech recognition as a way for people to find the remote control if it's lost in a room. |
Marketing: and that is the end of the slide show That is it Cool
Project Manager: What was that last wee bit there ? But that was only for young people that preferred it older people did not
Marketing: Youn young people pref they s they said that they would be interested in a remote control which offered that possibi... | Industrial Designer thought that the technology would be quite advanced and they might end up costing more than 25 budgets for speech recognition. |
