Course aims

To obtain theoretical knowledge and practical experience about the human-centered interaction design process and common methods used in interaction design.

Brief description of the course

Introduction to interaction design. Understanding the context and choosing relevant interaction design methods for a design challenge: literature reviews, interviews, surveys, observations, diaries, competitive reviews. Identifying insights: thematic analysis, concept maps, timelines, affinity diagramming. Framing the problem: personas, user journey maps. Exploring possible solutions: ideation methods, scenario-based design, user stories. Information architecture, card sorting. Design patterns, user interface guidelines and design systems. Low-fidelity prototyping techniques: paper prototyping and wireframes. High-fidelity prototyping: tools and techniques.

Learning outcomes in the course

Upon completing the course the student:
- understands the fundamentals of human-centered interaction design process;
- is able to choose and adjust interaction design methods for the specific design challenge;
- is able to use human-centered design and research methods for understanding the context, framing the problem and exploring possible solutions;
- is able to create low- and high-fidelity prototypes, according to usability principles and design patterns.
