Usability for UX

Catalog description

User Experience (UX) Design is informed by studying user behavior. A UX Designer takes into consideration the emotional and functional needs of the end-user to create experiences that are usable, desirable, and enjoyable. This course has a strong focus on the UX process. Students will be immersed in areas including ethnographic studies, usability testing, and rapid prototyping of ideas. Students will conclude the semester with an interactive app prototype for a well-researched and tested concept. Emphasis will be placed on empathy building activities and sketching as a form of storytelling.
