The course consists of a larger practical project based on the theoretical bases that have been introduced in DH1623.
DH1624 Human-Computer Interaction, Basic project 3.0 credits
The course gives basic practical experience of conducting user-centred design projects.

Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
After passing the course, the student should be able to:
- explain and present design properties of interactive artifacts for different stakeholders
- carry out a smaller design project in a group (including basic project management)
- carry out formative usability tests of own prototypes
- apply a creativity technique (e.g. brainstormning)
- create paper prototypes and digital interactive prototypes
- based on a given design task discover and identify what characterises the intended target group and situation of usage
- identify and formulate usability requirements after completed field studies
- reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of their own design based on literature and own evaluations
in order to
- be able to use design methods that support the development of useful systems.
- prepare the student for further studies in the area.
Literature and preparations
Specific prerequisites
Knowledge in human-computer interaction, 4.5 higher education credits, equivalent to completed course DH1623.
Active participation in a course offering where the final examination is not yet reported in LADOK is considered equivalent to completion of the course.
Registering for a course is counted as active participation.
The term 'final examination' encompasses both the regular examination and the first re-examination.
