Title: Course Learning Outcomes
Course: Prototyping I (TEMPLATE) > Section: Syllabus

In this course, you will learn how to:

Describe the goal-directed design process for digital products, by . . .

- Explaining the goal-directed design process and outline the key components of this method.
- Comparing and contrasting the goal-directed design method with a task/activity oriented design method and giving reasons for why the goal-directed method can yield better results.
- Recommending existing digital products that could benefit from a redesign using the goal-directed design approach and explaining why.

Identify design problems, user goals and the design framework for an existing digital product, by . . .

- Identifying and describing design problems with existing digital products through user interface sketching and analysis.
- Modeling user scenarios based on personas through storyboarding and user interface sketching in order to discover true user goals.
- Deconstructing the design framework for an existing digital product and developing a more effective and appropriate design framework for that product.

Make use of appropriate and effective product behaviors and design patterns for an existing digital product, by . . .

- Evaluating effective product behaviors and design patterns for a wireframe prototype.
- Compiling a library of appropriate product behaviors and design patterns to be utilized in the building of a wireframe prototype.
- Building a wireframe prototype for various user scenarios for an existing digital product.

Demonstrate user interaction for an existing digital product, by . . .

- Making use of industry prototyping software to model various interactive behaviors for prototypes.
- Making use of industry prototyping software to model interactive user scenarios for an existing digital product.

Evaluate and improve interactive prototypes, by . . .

- Testing and analyzing peer prototypes and assessing the effectiveness of their design solutions and provide informed feedback.
- Collaborating with peers on your prototypes in a live online team collaboration session using industry prototyping software and recording feedback.
- Evaluating peer feedback received on your prototypes, determining what changes to make, and modifying existing prototypes.
