Interaction Design

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  Interaction Design is the area of Design whose main objective is to improve the relationship between the user and the object/product, through the study, planning and application of interaction, in physical and digital systems. The applications of Interaction Design are varied, and act both at the physical, cognitive and emotional levels of the user's experience with the product. Knowledge of the principles of interaction and their application to the development of different supports allows students to create functional, appealing and understandable systems for the user.

• ObjectivosObjectives

  - Make known the human factors in the interaction and interface; - Preent the fundamental concepts to understand the interaction between humans and computational systems; - Develop the ability to conceive interaction and interface design proposals for specific contexts of use, with a view to optimizing the interaction experience; - Develop the ability to assess usability with mastery of various techniques and their suitability to the context; - Develop the ability to build innovative and consistent interfaces with the purpose; At the end of the UC, students should be able to: - Apply prototyping techniques for research and design proposal testing; - Evaluate usability through varied techniques appropriate to the context of the project; - Build innovative and coherent interfaces with the purpose; ¿- Combine the techniques in a systematic way into an empirical approach to interaction design

• MetodologiaMethodology

  1. Active Learning: Students are encouraged to actively participate in the learning process. This can include group discussions, problem solving, case studies and practical activities that promote active student participation. 2. Project-Based Learning (PBL): Students work on complex projects that involve solving real-world problems. These projects promote problem-solving, collaboration and critical thinking skills. 3. Problem-Based Learning (PBL): Similar to PBL, students are presented with a real-world problem and are encouraged to find solutions through research and collaboration. The focus is on problem-solving and developing critical thinking. 4. Microlearning: Breaks down content into small units that are easier to digest.
