Did you ever wonder about products that are hard to use, inefficient or don't do what would be needed? And have you ever used a product that offer just what is needed for what you want to accomplish? This course will teach you methods that help you to design such products. | |||
I believe that design does should not just happen in ones mind – | |||
we can learn a lot form observations and checking if our ideas really work how they are intended. In a way this approach is similar to scientific research. What is different is that we don't try to prove any theories with it but to design a product that meets the users needs. | |||

What is special about the interaction design process is that you don't do exploration-design-testing only once but you go through this circle several times, improving your design further and further by working on it from different perspectives and checking with reality. It helps as well to be more creative at the end: by dealing with your users, you will see your designs from a new perspective and so develop new ideas. | What is special about the interaction design process is that you don't do exploration-design-testing only once but you go through this circle several times, improving your design further and further by working on it from different perspectives and checking with reality.
