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:

  • analyze practice (needs and possibilities),
  • chose among methods for user centered design
  • work with and develop prototypes that suits for different phases in the design process
  • chose among different techniques for creating prototypes with different precision (lo-fi or hi-fi) and understand their pros and cons
  • reflect on prototypes grounded in relevant concepts
  • create solutions based on a given situation
  • motivate and criticize design decisions
  • integrate, compare and relate theory and practice
  • make decisions based on relevant motivation
  • act independent (“captain”), theorize, generalize, go beyond established principles and theories.
