Course Objectives: | Course aims to establish a perspective on the life cycle of interactive computer-based systems for designers who are going to participate in ICT development projects. User centered design (UCD) methods for achieving quality in use of IT products is inspected for different steps of the development of a computer based interactive system. Students acqiure knowledge on well known methods used for UCD and apply some of the methods on pilot projects to acquire a better understanding of the methodologies and their purpose. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; I. Identify the designers’s role within life cycle of ICT projects II. Identify the concepts of quality in use, user experience, usability and user centered design. III. Acquire the methods for active involvement of the users in requirement analysis of IT projects. IV. Acquire the methods for active involvement of the users in design process of IT projects. V. Acquire the methods for active involvement of the users in evaluation process of IT projects. VI. Learn to plan an ICT project through UCD processes |
Course content is developed to understand user centered design as a process and learn different methods applied in different steps of UCD process. Some of the methods will be investigated by application in small-scale projects. |
