/IMS 515. Advanced Usability and User Experience

Catalog description

This course is the second in a sequence ( IMS 413/IMS 513 is the first) focusing on the study of user experience research and design. In this class, students work with a real client to evaluate and redesign an existing interface. As part of this engagement, students are assigned to small groups. They have client contact and consider and carry out the user experience research methodologies (including eye tracking and facial expression analysis) that will be most helpful to their client. After analyzing the data, teams then decide on an interactive design approach to take and work through the steps to build wireframes and a clickable prototype. Finally, they prepare a written recommendations report and client presentation. There is no coding involved. Prerequisite: IMS 413/IMS 513 .
