My name is Ketan Patil, and I am the UX Consultant for Team 1 - Programming Analogies. On this website, you will find information about my research topic, course documentation, and the team.
User-centered product planning is an approach to product planning and development that places the needs and preferences of users at the center of the process. It involves identifying the most important user needs and goals, understanding the context in which users will interact with the product, and using this information to guide product planning and development.
My special focus will be on the adoption of AI and Machine Learning in user-centered product planning process.
Programming Analogies is an application that can assist instructors in better connecting programming concepts with real-world scenarios or experiences in order to enhance students' understanding and help them grasp the underlying knowledge easily. This app enables instructional staff members(teachers, teaching assistants, and professors) in quickly capturing structured analogies that may assist them in better explaining and conveying programming concepts to their students, thereby expanding the options for understandable and accessible programming education.
