Course description

Interaction design is incorporated into a product’s overall design from the very beginning to optimize the product functionality and the user experience the product offers.
This course offers a cross-disciplinary, practical, and process-oriented introduction to the field, showing not just what principles ought to apply to interaction design, but crucially how they can be applied.
Group works, exercises, and presentations take a large part of this course.

Purpose of class

To offer a cross-disciplinary, practical, and process-oriented introduction to the field. The target students need no preliminary background and can be from the various field.
