For this session you will be prototyping some of your ideas to address gaps in the I&E ecosystem of your institution and, based on what you learn in that process, you will outline strategic priorities that will guide your work as a Fellow moving forward.<br><br>This assignment has 2 deliverables (see below.) Both should be posted in the Training Updates page of the UIF Portal (by now you should be familiar with how to update that page, but you can always revisit the instructions on the [[20232024:Training/Submitting Assignments|Submitting Assignments]] page.) Deliverable 2 also requires that you update your institution's page on the UIF wiki, if you uncover any new information this week (more below). {{note2|1='''Note:''' Both deliverables should be submitted as a team (if you are part of a Leadership Circle.)}}

* '''Test the prototype''' with the relevant people -- students, faculty, etc., depending on what it is (see below some things to keep in mind as you test). Remember when you had to go out and interview someone on the first week of the challenge? Testing your prototype is similar to that: you might feel apprehensive about showing a prototype that doesn't look very polished to someone else, and that's understandable. Use some of the same strategies you used to set up your interview: introduce yourself and the project, establish a rapport with the other person, encourage him/her to be candid with you, and demonstrate you really care about what he/she says. You will find that people will be incredibly helpful, even flattered that you care about their perspective.
* '''Iterate'''. Based on what you learned about the problem or the solution, you might make a minor modification, learn that you are solving the wrong problem or make large changes in your strategy for how you solve the problem. Incorporate your learnings into creating a new prototype and test once again with the same person or different ones.
* '''Take a photo of people testing your prototypes,''' and include a short reflection about what you learned from the tests. If you are part of a Leadership Circle, combine all your photos and learnings into one submission.<br><br>{{Fmbox|image=none|style = border:5px solid dimgrey; background-color:lightgrey;|text=Due end of week 4 at midnight ET: A google doc containing a photo of people testing your prototypes, and a short reflection about what you learned from the tests. Drop this document into your institution's Google Drive folder (find the [[20232024:Training/Start Here|folder link here]]) and submit the link in the Training Updates page of the UIF Portal. Instructions are on the [[20232024:Training/Submitting Assignments|Submitting Assignments]] page. As a reminder, we will be reviewing Session 4 in the Training Mural to understand your journey, so be sure to document your thought processes and show your work.}}<br>
:Here are some elements to keep in mind when you test your prototype:
* Do NOT sell your idea: Your goal is NOT to convince someone that your idea is good. You want to find out what can be improved.
'''A consulting approach'''<br>
Approach your upcoming meetings with faculty and administration as though you are a set of consultants who your school has hired to recommend four to five projects to address the key issues facing your school's I&E ecosystem. What are those top four to five projects you believe your institution should implement in order to expand I&E?<br><br>{{Fmbox|image=none| style = border:5px solid dimgrey; background-color:lightgrey;|text=Due end of week 4 at midnight ET: Link to the completed/updated student priorities wiki page.}}<br>
*[[20232024:Training/Start Here|''Click here to access your campus's student priorities Wiki page.'']]<br><br>
On your Strategic Priorities wiki page, outline the four to five projects you have identified and refined by prototyping. Include not only the project name, but also the key tactics required to bring this project to life. Be as specific as possible, including assigning names of the team mates who will be in charge of each project. Make sure you review your plans with your uiguide and faculty champion(s) and take into account their feedback.<br><br>{{note2|'''Note:'''}} If you are a new school in the UIF program, you will be the first cohort to add content to the Strategic Priorities wiki page, but if you are a school who already has Fellows, this page already will have content added by previous Fellows, and you should update the page to add your cohort's strategic priorities. Do this in reverse chronological order, so that the most recent set of priorities are at the top of the page, and clearly indicate to which cohort they correspond.<br><br>
Submit the strategic priorities page in Training Updates. Visit the [[20232024:Training/Submitting Assignments|Submitting Assignments]] page for more on how to submit this deliverable on the UIF Portal. And be sure to show your work in the Training Mural.
