User Experience Design for Service Interaction

2024/2025

Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

This course trains students to research, analyse, conceptualise and prototype user experiences for services considering all system aspects including the social and cultural contexts of use. The course gives a comprehensive knowledge about user involvement in the design process, going beyond traditional methods such as usability lab testing and giving the means to better understand and represent the different levels of interaction within a service. The objectives are realised by presenting methods and tools in a case based framework and through the students´ active participation in workshops and assignments.
