Intended Learning Outcomes (ILO)

After completion of the course the student should: - be aware of the cross-disciplinary nature of interaction design, and the implications for design and evaluation projects - be able to evaluate social consequences of poor design (e.g. low usability) of information technology - be able to design an interactive product in accordancde with contemporary theorie and methods on user-centered design - be able to independently and critically evaluate different qualities of interactive products in some social setting.

Contents
The aim of the course is to provide the student with a comprehensive understanding of use qualities of interactive products. The student should understand how to design such products through collaboration, creativity, methods, and the use of design principles. The course aims at providing a contextual and crossdisciplinary view of the concept of design. The concepts of design and evaluation are closely related; both concepts are important in the course. The course focuses, but is not limited to, the following concepts: - Usability and other use qualities - Design principles for interactive products - Cognitive Psychology and Human Factors - Social aspects of collaboration - Interaction design methods - Requirements elicitation and specification through prototyping - User-Centered Design - Contextual Evaluation of IT - Web Science

Type of instruction
The course is based on lectures, seminars, and project work (performed in groups of 3-4 people).
