Quick questions on Global and collaborative design: HSC Design and Technology Innovation and Emerging Technologies
2short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.
What are cross cultural design considerations?Show answer
When an innovation is sold globally, it must work across cultures. Colour, symbolism, language, units of measure, body size data and social expectations differ between markets. A design that succeeds in one culture can offend or fail in another. Good global design either adapts the product for each market, known as localisation, or designs for universal usability from the start.
What are digital collaboration tools?Show answer
Distributed collaboration is possible because of digital tools. Shared computer aided design models, cloud platforms, version control and video conferencing let teams in different countries work on the same project simultaneously. A change made in one location updates the shared model for everyone. These tools are also what link the design and emerging technologies parts of the course, since they are themselves emerging technologies reshaping how design is done.
