Fundamentals of Interaction

Catalog description

Contemporary interactive media share a common computational canvas. This course explores technology underlying these media, and introduces students interested in programming and interactive media development to foundational theories and practices in interface design and development. Interaction principles will be explored through practical assignments; sketching, prototyping, and design are essential parts of the development process. Students complete the course with an understanding of participant-centered design, usability, and foundational development terms and concepts.
