Reflection

Creating this design checklist helped me focus my evaluation of my user-friendly prototype minicourse idea on four key areas: usability, ADA compliance, quality, and accuracy. One key takeaway from this process is that effective design is not just about appearance but about how well a product functions for all users. I also learned that accessibility and usability are deeply connected; when one improves, the other often does as well. Another important lesson was the need to balance detail with simplicity in the checklist itself, so it remains practical and easy to use during evaluation.​
