In this course we focus on Human-Centred Design (HCD) processes and methods. Starting from an advanced understanding of usability, user experience, and accessibility garnered from recent literature, students will work on designs meant to inform, assist, and communicate with specific target groups.
Students will engage with a range of methods throughout the different stages of a human-centred design process, with the end goal of delivering a concept or prototype app for a group of target users.
The course has a workshop character, requiring intensive team-based participation. Students will iterate on their concept app with knowledge gained from the literature and their own findings researching user groups. Throughout this course, we place the intended user in the middle of the design process to ensure the resulting app will be best suited to their specific needs and abilities.
If their examination board and programme board allows it. Students from the following UT master programmes can follow this course: BA, BIT, CEM, CS, EST, HS, IDE, IEM, ITECH, PSTS and PSY.
