Covers principles of usability and introduces qualitative user research methods to help students better understand the cognitive and psychological aspects of users' behaviours, needs, expectations, and motivations. Students will be able to compare and contrast the techniques and appropriate uses of widely used problem-solving frameworks and standards for imagining the future, including human-centred design, co-design, design thinking, and apply these techniques to solve design problems in context. Students will create a design system of components that provide a consistent user experience across a range of different devices and product scenarios.
