Focus on the outcome
It’s important to know what you would like your task outcome to be. You must ask yourself - "How are you going to collect this digital media for assessment?"
Which apps and assistive tools will be needed along the way?
Once you have established the complete workflow, you and your colleagues can begin the task.
