Osaamistavoitteet (voimassa 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
During this course, students will deepen their understanding of interaction design through practical exercises and project work, where the fundamentals presented in the Designing Interactions course are put into practice with a focus on (prototyping and) evaluation.
On successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
● Identify different evaluation methods (e.g., usability testing, experiments, field studies, heuristics), and explain their main advantages and disadvantages.
● Carry out an assessment of a prototype, interaction design or complete system, by selecting between different evaluation methods.
● Judge how to systematically assesses the overall experience of an interaction design, and design an evaluation accordingly.
Sisältö (voimassa 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
This course aims to increase students’ knowledge on the following topics:
● Pragmatic considerations on design for the interaction between humans and a wide range of systems and services
● Prototyping methods
● Evaluation methods
This course is the complement of the Designing Interactions (MUO-E3020) course from period 2.

Priority in the student selection is always given to the students of the major. Free places will be filled in the following order: 1. students who have already been given a study right (eg., minor subject students, exchange students and non-degree students), 2. students of the Department of Media, 3. students of the School of Arts, Design and Architecture, 4. other Aalto University students, 5. all the others.The major subject students are mainly selected in the order of registration. If there were more registered students than there are places available, other criteria of approval may be used (such as study progress or study plan). The decisions on the use of exceptional procedure are always made by the head of the major subject.
