Course contents *

Overview of different methods for cooperative design. Practical examples of user centered projects. Practical methodological exercises.

Project work in a multi-disciplinary project with user cooperation in all phases of the project, from a general described theme to a specific and finished result. The project will be reported in different medias.

Intended learning outcomes *

After completing this course you should be able to:

- from a given context motivate, chose, combine, apply and adapt different user centered methods in order to systematically include end-users in all phases of a system development process

- critically review and reflect on different examples of cooperative design

- motivate design decisions based on both fundamental knowledge of human-computer interaction, and results from different user centered methods

- plan, perform and critically judge a multi disciplinary project performed in close cooperation with the user group and other scientific competences.
