This course is an exploration of theories and principles in interaction design, a field that aims to create engaging, effective, and intuitive experiences for users. Through an examination of various interaction design theories, students will gain a deep understanding of the fundamental principles and frameworks that guide the design of interactive products and services that communicate messages.
This course introduces major theories from various areas of knowledge pertaining to interaction design, such as cognitive psychology, behavioural science, studies of media and technology, informatics, user experience (UX) design, design for emotion, aesthetics, and ethics. Students will explore the application of these theories in the design of various interactive products and services, such as websites, mobile apps, and interactive installations.
能力項目說明
Through assignments, presentations, and class discussions, students will develop their ability to think critically about interaction design and apply theoretical concepts to real-world design challenges.
By the end of the course, students will have gained a deep understanding of interaction design theories and their application in creating engaging and effective interactive experiences. Students will be able to:
Delineate the relationship between people and technology in various contexts like personal, social, or cultural in terms of opportunities and threats
