Course UX20 Interaction design in UX.

The purpose of the course is to give students knowledge and practical skills in working with the methods and digital tools used in interface development. Computer-based programs will also be used to produce graphic compositions. The course focuses on the design principles of interaction design, where areas such as form and choice of colour are covered briefly. In this course students should further develop the insights they gained from the Accessibility course in order to create inclusive interaction design. The approved student has knowledge of - How designed interfaces should be organised and how they can work on different devices. - Explaining central design principles, such as screen layout, navigation, control/feedback, input, reading, use of colour, form and components, as well as aesthetic appearance. - Demonstrated knowledge of the methods and tools used in interface development - Mastering principles and logic that enable an efficient development methodology. - An insight into the history of interface design. - Basic knowledge of typography and colour theory. - Knowledge of basic cognitive psychology. The approved student has the skills to - Present organised, designed interfaces adapted to the user. - Use standard graphic components such as colour, form, icons, windows and menus in a fit-for-purpose way. - Understand the methods and tools used when interfaces are developed and be able to show the different trade-offs and factors that affect interfaces and the design process. - Use computer-based programs to produce graphic compositions - Show a good understanding of design principles and layout. The approved student has the competence to - Confidently guide user behaviour in the service/product through the choice of components in the interface. - Design and organise interfaces for intuitive user understanding and high usability. - Carry out the iterative design process, from requirements to development and testing.
