Learning outcomes |
The objective of this curricular unit is for students to develop the skills necessary to understand the stages of the interaction design process and to use key techniques in the development of web-oriented projects.
By the end of the semester, students should be able to:
- Understand the historical background of interaction design;
- Grasp the concept of interaction design and distinguish it from analogous concepts;
- Understand web design;
- Apply a visual language appropriate to web design concepts and practices;
- Approach common tools in the field creatively;
- Investigate the relationship between technology, design, usability, user experience, and concept;
- Master the necessary support tools for building interactive web projects;
- Plan, develop, and execute the design process with autonomy and critical thinking.
