When I started designing a website for H818 project and wanted to have a discussion forum appended to help female learners to share their thoughts and ideas at the time of distress, I had no idea that my idea would clash with female learners. I asked female learners on a private WhatsApp group if they are willing to participate in an appended discussion forum for conversations. The refused and instead suggested for the inclusion of private chatrooms. After incorporating it, one of the learners further suggested to include different types of chatrooms such as one with an expert for guidance.
It makes me realize how important it is to network with the target population to reap productive outcomes.
