Learning outcomes |
In this curricular unit, it is intended that students deepen the knowledge already acquired in the area of ??interaction design and that they use its main techniques in the construction of projects oriented to mobile devices.
At the end of the semester, the student should be able to:
- Understand the framework of interaction design for mobile devices;
- Know the various research strategies and techniques, conceptual design, prototyping and evaluation in interaction design.
- Apply a visual language that is adequate to the concepts and practices of design for mobile devices;
- Approach in a creative way the common tools of the area;
- Investigate the relationship between technology, design, usability, user experience and concept;
- Master the necessary support tools for building interactive projects for mobile devices;
- Plan, develop and execute the design process with autonomy and critical sense.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
In this theoretical-practical course unit, expository classes will be used to present the syllabus using audiovisual elements.
The presentation of projects considered exemplary, followed by debate, acts as a starting point for the projects and as a principle of research to be developed in the course. The projects of the discipline will be followed up with the students. The discussion and critical evaluation of the results of the work will be done throughout the semester.
Evaluation criteria:
• 15% App ´s research, concept and analysis document;
• 35% Interface design;
• 15% Usability tests;
• 5% Project dossier;
• 30% Final project with redesign;
