Topic outline

  • The Interaction Design (IxD) Course takes place between 10.1-18.2.2022. Sessions are scheduled on Mondays (9:15-17:00) and Fridays (13:15-17:00). Due to the ongoing Coronavirus situation, this course will take place online. Our first online session will be on Monday 10.1 between 9.15-17.00 via  Zoom: https://aalto.zoom.us/j/69634488002. Please note that the Zoom meeting is set for 9:00 (our course starts at 9:15). Feel free to join earlier if you want to test your setup.

    This course consists of different IxD sessions (i.e., pre-recorded lectures, flipped classroom discussions, and in-class exercises) that will take place on Mondays. Between Tuesday and Friday morning you will be doing group work, during which I will be available for weekly 30-minute group tutoring sessions. Friday afternoons will be reserved for short group presentations, joint discussion and reflection. 

    To avoid being in front of our computers for almost three hours straight (i.e., Zoom fatigue), from the third week and onwards you will prepare for Monday's IxD sessions by following a pre-recorded lecture and reading a book chapter. Pairs of students will lead flipped classroom discussions by reading and reflecting on a book chapter with the rest of the class. I will provide more info on how this will work during our first meeting on Monday 10.1.

    The book is Interaction Design by Sharp et al. (2019). Several copies of this book are available at the University library (look for earlier editions). Please note the order of authors and chapter numbers vary depending on the book's edition (e.g., Preece et al. 2015, Rogers et al. 2011; Sharp et al. 2007; Preece et al. 2002). I will include a couple IxD book chapters in PDF under materials for convenience.

    • Sharp, H., Preece, J., & Rogers, Y. (2019). Interaction design: beyond human-computer interaction. John Wiley & Sons.

    You will find new pre-recorded lectures and slides in the corresponding folders at the end of each session to prepare for the next one (unless we agree something different during our first session on 10.1).

    Task: for our first session on Monday 10.1, please read chapter 1 of the Interaction Design book by Sharp et al. (2019).

    Tervetuloa!
