UXD/ISM 210

Course Overview

This course familiarizes students with the user interface development process, including user and task analysis, interaction design, prototyping and evaluation. Students study human perception, cognition and motor abilities as they relate to the design of interactive systems. In a series of projects, students design and revise prototypes as they apply a user-centered design process. Emphasized topics include user profiles, information architecture and usability testing. Students provide written analysis of their research and process.

Course Goals

By the end of the quarter, students will be able to:

• Critique a software application or device using principles of interaction design.
• Apply user-centered research methods for need finding, generating insights, and developing concepts for interactive systems.
• Apply user research to design a digital application (website or mobile app) and create an interactive prototype.
• Apply usability and evaluation methods to improve and refine a design.
