Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The framework of the course is a comprehensive project task where students apply theories and methods for user centered design. This task presupposes that the students must work individually and in groups in parallel to the course schedule. Three individual tasks will also be performed during the course.

Intended learning outcomes

In the course the student shall show that she can:

  • analyse practice (needs and possibilities), apply methods and deliver suggestions to solutions on a given situation, motivate and criticise design decisions
  • integrate, compare and relate theory and practice
  • make decisions base on relevant motivation
  • act independent (“captain”), theorize, generalize, go beyond established principles and theories.
