DESCRIPTION
This team-oriented project course will explore several issues surrounding the design and production of usable and elegant interactive experiences. Students will be introduced to topics including the iterative design process, physical and digital prototyping, and user testing. Project work will allow students to demonstrate mastery of the methods discussed in class through the creation and evaluation of screen-based and physical interfaces. Nor formal programming experience is necessary or expected as students are encouraged to leverage existing skills to develop visualizations and prototypes.

COURSE NOTES
This team oriented project course will explore several issues surrounding the design and production of usable and elegant interactive experiences. Students will be introduced to topics including the iterative design process, physical and digital prototyping, and user testing. No formal programming experience is necessary or expected as students are encouraged to leverage existing skills to develop visualizations and prototypes. For projects in the digital domain, experience with Flash,HTML5, Axure, InVision or the like is helpful, but a well-executed, interactive Powerpoint will suffice.
