Learning outcomes |
The objective of this course unit is for the student to develop skills that allow them to understand the stages of the interaction design process and use the main techniques in the creation of projects aimed at mobile devices.
By the end of the semester, the student should be able to:
1) Understand the framework of interaction design for mobile devices;
2) Be familiar with various strategies and techniques for conceptual design, prototyping, and evaluation in interaction design;
3) Apply a visual language appropriate to the concept and target audience of the device;
4) Approach tools creatively;
5) Master the necessary support tools for building interactive projects for mobile devices;
6) Plan, develop, and execute the project process with autonomy and critical thinking.

Syllabus |
Conceptualization, production, and development of interactive prototypes for mobile devices.
1) Analyzing mobile applications and identifying specificities and issues.
2) Research for interaction design: briefing, market research (if applicable), user and visual research.
3) Conceptual design: typography, color, visual composition, animation, and interaction.
4) Interface design: information organization and architecture, navigation systems, wireframes.
5) Prototyping: processes, techniques, and tools.
6) Evaluation: usability and user experience.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
In this theoretical-practical course unit, lectures will be used to present the program content, with the support of audiovisual elements. The presentation of examples followed by discussion serves as a starting point for the projects, whose development is guided and supported by the course material.
Evaluation Criteria:
20% Project Phase 1: Research on competitors and creative brainstorming
20% Project Phase 2: Sketch planning of the application's features and navigation diagram
30% Project Phase 3: Prototype for user evaluation
30% Project Phase 4: Presentation of the results
The final submission of the projects is mandatory on the stipulated date. Unjustified absence will result in failure of the course in continuous assessment; absence from more than one interim evaluation will lead to exclusion from assessment.
