| Textbook: Rapid Contextual Design: A How-to Guide to Key Techniques for User-Centered Design by Holtzblatt, Wendell, and Wood | Email Instructors: 102C@hci.ucsd.edu |
This is a project-based course focused on the process of cognitive design. Students work in teams to design and evaluate a prototype application or redesign an existing system. The purpose of projects is to provide exposure to all phases of cognitive design: understanding users and their tasks, exploring representational and technological opportunities, brainstorming design ideas, building scenarios of use, prototyping, and obtaining user feedback. The goal of the course is to help you develop a richer appreciation of user-centered design. Cognitive design principles and practices have wide applicability.
You will participate as a member of a project team in designing or redesigning a system. In ten weeks you can only start to understand the process of user-centered design but we think you will find that what you learn from your project to be quite valuable. We will discuss potential projects during the first couple weeks of class. Each project team will have 6-10 members. You must commit to a specific project team by the end of the second week.
Class Presentations
We will devote a portion of class each week to informal project updates and to issues confronted by projects. Once your projects are underway each group will present updates of their project and plans. There will also be a final presentation of your project during the last week of classes.
Project Paper
Another important part of the course is writing a paper to document your project. You can write your final paper collaboratively, submitting one paper as a team. You also have the option of working in smaller groups to write your final paper. We will encourage you to start writing your paper in stages over the quarter. We suggest you create an initial project schedule describing what you are planning to do, why you made the choices you did, and how you plan to go about accomplishing what you propose. You should then iteratively revise this as your project develops.

Watch
why does the email link says 102c@hci.ucsd.edu when it should be 102c-instructors@hci.ucsd.edu ?
I think that's an issue, since i do not use outlook and generally copy/paste. |
