    ItemLEARNING ACTIVITY: MOBILE APP PROTOTYPE

    Learning to code in school is becoming increasingly popular. There are millions of jobs that will go unfilled because there are not enough people who can program. In this activity, you aren’t going to learn to code/program. However, you are going to develop a prototype of an app that fits with the theme of your website. I know that this might be an intimidating topic for you so try to keep it simple.

    1. Start by reading through these three short articles to get an idea of the benefits that come along with working at a successful technology company, specifically, Google.
    2. Watch Code Stars to get an introduction to why programming is so important in today’s world.
    3. Think of an idea for your mobile app prototype. What sort of app could you develop that would help benefit your website (business, organization, informational site, educational site)? Some app ideas include:
      • Business site: your app could offer costumers a way to order a product, submit information, or use your product
      • Organization: your app could give your visitors information about your organization, a way to donate time or money, or other resources
      • Informational site: your app could give visitors more information on the topic your site is about, a way to submit photos or stories about the topic of your site, or how to find more information on the topic
      • Educational site: your app could include more information on the topic, a study guide, a game that helps visitors learn about your topic, etc.
    4. Take a look at this sample for Comfy Dog Days. [Sample is no longer accessible, but a demonstration can be found in the module screen casts.]
    5. We are going to use Proto.io software for this project. You are going to create a mobile app prototype that fits with the theme of your website. Be sure to watch the screencasts below to see how to create the prototype.
      1. Read Steps to apply a coupon code to your Proto.io account to view directions for how to create your account.
      2. Go to https://proto.io/en/signup/ to sign up for an account.
      3. In Step #5 of the directions, enter this COUPON CODE: ASU-Freelancer-2m-SEP16
      4. You now have a one month subscription to use Proto.i
    6. Screencast Tutorials
      1. Introduction to Proto.io
      2. Creating a Tabbar (document)
      3. Project Templates
      4. Editor’s Interface
      5. Additional Beginner’s tutorials
    7. View Scoring Guide.
    8. Create your mobile app prototype. It is IMPORTANT that you get someone to test out your prototype before submitting. Having someone or multiple people test your prototype will ensure that all of the links and interactions work.
    9. MOBILE APP ICON: Create an app icon (using photo editing) or find one that fits the theme of your app prototype using Illustrio. This app icon will be placed in your site so that you can link to your app prototype.
      1. Watch this video to see How to Use Illustrio.
    10. When you are finished, publish your app prototype and copy the live link. You will submit a LINK to your app prototype into Blackboard for grading.
    11. Add the app icon to your website and then link to it on a page of your website.

    Here are a few high quality examples of projects that were previously completed for this module: (*note: this is the first time using the Proto.io software so there are no other examples other than the one that expired below.)

    • Comfy Dog Days [A demonstration can be found in the module screen casts, which shows the use of previous course projects in this app prototype.]

    PREVIOUS EXAMPLES of WEBSITES

    One way to get started is to think about or map out the content you want on your 5 screens. Then, gather any media you might want to add (which may be your previous projects), and citations. Also gather any external URL/s or email you want to link to.
    TIP: The sample that is demonstrated in the module screen casts uses items created from other projects, which is perfectly fine. It is easier than creating new items.
