Mock-ups are models or prototypes used to test designs before full implementation. They allow users to provide early feedback through low-cost, low-fidelity representations of designs made from materials like cardboard. This helps designers identify needed changes before substantial work is completed. Mock-ups also facilitate discussion between designers and users as designs can be easily modified using common tools. The document describes a mock-up of a calendar application made for children to obtain early feedback and a website mock-up as examples. The goal of the study was to develop a student problem-solving assessment model for design activities using a rubric and critical incidents, with mock-ups providing a framework.

2. Mock-up
A scale or full-size model of a design or
device, used for teaching,
demonstration, design evaluation,
promotion, and other purposes.

3. What is Mock-up?
●A mock-up is an arrangement of a real
device or associated devices, displayed
in such a way that representation of
reality is created.
●The terms "mock-ups", "low-fidelity
prototypes", or "paper prototypes" are usually
used as synonyms.

4. Example of Mock up
 The planetarium
 mock-up of a calendar application for school
kids made of cardboard and plastic. The mock-
up was used to test early design ideas with
school children and thus obtain early feedback
in the development process.
 A mock-up of a website

5. Advantages of mock up
 The advantages of mock-ups (and prototypes) are
numerous. For example:
 Mock-ups incite criticism from users because they
are low-cost (can be made of cardboard) and low-
fidelity. If a user is presented with an early version
of a system that has required substantial work,
he/she is likely to be more reluctant (as well as able)
to critics it.
 When using mock-ups of cardboard or similar
materials, the user and designer can collectively
change the design using familiar tools such as pens,
scissors etc. As such, mock-ups are a discussion
medium and a discussion facilitator between
designer and user.

6. Goal of Mock up
The goal of this study was to develop an assessment
model that could be used to evaluate student problem
solving performance in design activities.

7. Objectives
An assessment model was developed and field-tested to
measure student problem solving performance in
technological design activities. A rubric incorporating
critical incidents in problem solving and expertise levels
was central to the model. The mock up was intended to
provide a framework for assessing technological problem
solving in group and individual activities.
