    Hi, I'm Nick. 0:08
    In this practice session, 0:10
    you're going to get some practice prototyping user experiences. 0:11
    I'll present you with a problem, and 0:15
    I encourage you to see if you can work it out on your own before moving on. 0:17
    Often, when you register for a service, you're just asked for 0:22
    your email address and a password, maybe you'll be asked to create a username too. 0:27
    But websites and apps that are heavily driven by your personal information 0:32
    often need a lot more. 0:37
    For example, maybe you're signing up for a social network and in order for 0:40
    it to be really useful for everyone, they need to know 0:45
    a little more about you such as your interests and maybe some photos of you. 0:48
    Or perhaps you're signing up for a service that organizes your finances so 0:52
    they need some things like your banking and credit card information. 0:57
    But how do you let the user know that they need to fill in more information? 1:01
    And how do you persuade them to do that? 1:07
    For this practice, I'm going to give you a little bit less guidance because I 1:08
    want you to think about this problem a bit more deeply. 1:13
    I want you to create a small UI element, 1:16
    something that might fit into a side bar, for example, that gives the user 1:19
    some ideas about what steps they should take to complete their profile. 1:25
