In this industrial session we broke down into object/behaviour/ scenario between group members and all participated in a separate workshops. I undertook the object workshop led by Tim that focused on mind mapping skills and the ways in which a map could be made. We were shown mind meister- an online mind mapping program and an Ipad mind-mapping app. For the purpose of this session Tim formulated a mind map on the object of a coffee cup using the whiteboard and the students input. We expanded the map to consider form, function, manufacturing, volume, temperature, human usability, quality and social/cultural contexts and conditions. Ritualistic conditions of drinking coffee had to be considered as well as cultural. The form’s dependence on the type of coffee or tea also was recognized. We did decide the context would be for the home or for dine in coffee shops. The form was then decided to be aluminum. The whiteboard was a great way to draw a mind map as errors could be erased easily; electronically this is the case also. Pen on paper makes it that much more difficult but Tim did suggest that using post it notes as the subheadings and drawing in the links on a3 works well also.
