DXB110 Principles of Interaction Design

This unit provides an introduction to Interaction Design theories, methods, tools and applications essential for a contemporary career in designing cutting-edge digital products, services and experiences for human interaction. Students will develop an understanding of a broad spectrum of interaction design theories and will apply this knowledge in practice to generate concepts and prototypes for new products and experiences. This will enable students to apply theory in practice, including undertake user experience research in response to real world briefs, critique leading industry case studies and practices, iteratively prototype solutions and evaluate usability of the outcome with regards to user experience.
