Need more that 8-10 references in out disitation Use 1 main theory in your project and use other theories sparingly to build off of that. Explain how spotifys algorithm shapes users music tastes  The use of theory in research  🔬  Theory can be used to: -define the aims and research questions -inform data collection (what type of questions fo u ask) -provide a framework for data analysis and interpretation (look at the data u collected through the lense of your theory)  (Filter bubbles in spotify) Why do people use spotify personalised playlists? Do students like spotifies music recommendations?

The design thinking process Five stages: • 1.  Empathize : Understand the user’s needs through research. • 2.  Define : Frame the core problem based on insights. *• 3.  Ideate : Brainstorm and generate creative solutions.  • 4.  Prototype : Build simplified models to test ideas. • 5.  Test : Evaluate the prototype and gather feedback for improvements. intergrate the needs of people, the possibilitires of tech, and the requirments for bussiness success. Possible UX Artefacts that you can create: User Interviews, Surveys, Persona Profiles, Empathy Maps, Journey Maps, Contextual Inquiries  * Ideation Techniques  Once you have identified the user you will start to generate ideas and come up with solutions for them. (My users are people who want to buy tickets for local indie films in smaller theatres.) Brainstorming :  • A group activity where participants generate ideas without judgment. Focus on  quantity over quality. Mind Mapping : ...
