  • Your learner profile: Just Curious
  • Concept: Essential for some, useful for many

You have not chosen a learner profile yet, so this challenge uses an everyday situation. Choose your profile to get situations tailored to you.

The situation

Lina · Everyday User

Lina uses technology every day for shopping, learning, health and staying in touch.

Lina is trying to watch a video in a noisy café.

The video contains important spoken information but has no captions.

  1. Spot

    A feature is being treated as optional or 'extra'.

  2. Think

    Who relies on it, and who else benefits from it?

  3. Decide

    Keep the feature and make it standard.

  4. Fix

    Build it into the normal process, not the wish list.

Your decision

What should happen next?

What could make the video easier to access?
