Maintain shared logs of decisions, feedback, and AI inputs to make design decisions visible¶

Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

The team introduced a decision log recording what changed and why, a feedback log recording what users said over time, and clear rules for AI inputs recording what sources informed outputs. These shared logs created continuity, supported collaboration, explained changes, and let the team refine designs based on evidence rather than memory or opinion.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• A decision log, a feedback log, and clear rules for AI inputs, maintained as ideas change rapidly

Constraints¶

Target Learners¶

• Education R&D teams coordinating researchers, developers, and educators

Target Learning Goals¶

• Evidence-based design decisions and team continuity during rapid iteration

Related Strategies¶

• Use focused prompts naming educator decisions and explicit rules for knowledge sources when prompting AI
