Class description
Interaction design is centered on supporting interaction between people through the design of digital artifacts. Because these artifacts exist within social settings, they become resources from which people construct their social, political, economic, and moral lives. This course will focus on designerly practices for envisioning the creation of digital devices that do not yet exist, which includes user research, ideation, sketching, critiquing, reflection, prototyping, and usability testing. The course will also cultivate the sensibility to make pragmatic tradeoffs to meet real-world constraints, and the awareness that design (and designers) can impact our collective possible futures, hopefully for the good.
