/Strukturerade metoder för användarupplevelse (UX)/

For:   MT  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 42
Rec. self-study hours: 118

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Media Technology, Computer Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
The course aims to provide knowledge and skills in formal methods in human-computer interaction that are used to model, specify and analyse system properties. It also deepen the understanding of how tools and methods can be used during a development process to ensure that system properties related to the user experience are implemented and preserved.
After the course students will be able to:
  • Apply formal methods and techniques to model, specify, analyse and design user experience (UX) related to use, context and design of a complex system.
  • Follow and account for/explain typical processes in user-centered system design.
  • Argue for the choice of methods, techniques and design solutions and present in oral and written presentations.
  • Critically review the application of theories, methods and techniques in design of user experience and be able to identify and discern results that are scientifically sound.


  • Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
    Human-computer interaction (HCI), software engineering.

    Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

    Organisation:
    The course comprises of lectures, seminars, workshops/laborations and three hand-in assignments. There are two individual assignments and one group assignment/project work and they are all reported by a written report. The course runs the entire spring semester.

    Course contents:
    • User experience in software engineering
    • Formal methods for human-computer interaction
    • Interaction design of complex system
    • Usability, user-centered design (UCD), user experience and design (UXD)
