About the course
Course content
The course is project-based and consists of a user-interface design project done in groups. The project focuses on practical use of field observations and iterative design/redesign with prototyping and usability testing. Relevant theory for the different phases of the user-centered design process will be presented.
Learning outcome
Knowledge: The course gives knowledge of basic theory and current research related to user-centered design, interaction design and human-computer interaction.
Skills: It also gives practical experience with state-of-the-art methodss for the user-centered design of graphical user interfaces (GUIs).
General competence: The project gives students experience working with design challenges in teams.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and project in teams.
During the semester, the teams present their progress in "critique sessions" at regular intervals - with feedback from the lecturer.
Compulsory assignments
- Exercises
Further on evaluation
Group grade based on group project report.
The report shall document the project and Retake of the course will require new participation/deliverables in all activities. The final group report should document the project work and show ability to make us of relevant theory.
Grading is team based, but individual grades can be given in special cases.
In the event of voluntary repetition, fail (F) or valid absence, the entire course must be retaken in a semester with teaching.
