ADES 5430 - Human-Centered Interaction Design 2

3 hours

Second of two, three-semester-credit-hour offerings that challenge first-year MA candidates in the interaction design program to explore how meaning is conveyed and interpreted through formal systems across interactive technology platforms as specific groups of users operate given products. Teaches students to effectively utilize holistic means to 1) employ understandings about what motivates the actions of particular individuals and groups in specific settings, combined with 2) a considerate application of knowledge about how the imposition of specific social, technological, economic and public policy conditions can be used to inform interaction design decision-making.

Prerequisite(s): Admission to the MA with a major in design and concentration in interaction design, or consent of instructor.

May be repeated for credit for a maximum of 6 hours.
