User-Centered Analysis and Conceptual Design |
User-centered analysis is the basis for interface design that make sense
to the user. With a clear definition of user requirements, developers
and designers are able to create effective and usable software interface
designs. Students learn the methods of analyzing user-centered requirements.
Topics covered are user profiling, data gathering, scenarios, and transitioning
to final design. The course offers stimulating lectures and hands-on exercises
to give the student the tools and confidence needed to conduct an effective
analysis. This course is an excellent complement to our Web design course.
