User Centered Design

This master course will present User-Centered Design (UCD) process and methodologies. UCD provide methods to put in light the needs, wants, and limitations of end users of an interface at each stage of the design process. Further, UCD provides methods to support and evaluate early designs, low fidelity prototypes and products. In addition to design support and user requirements analysis, the class will present usability engineering methods to evaluate the performance and efficiency of a given user interface, as well as statistical methods to conclude on the significance of the results. All along the class, students will apply the methodologies learned on the design and prototyping of an interactive product.
