Details of Learning Activities
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design solutions using a user experience (UX) methodology, with the users’ experience at the centre of design. In this unit, a user refers to a customer or client who will interact and use a product, service and/or platform.
The unit applies to those working as business and systems analysts, as well as developers of software, games, websites, applications, products and services. UX design aims to improve, optimize and add value to the users’ experience of a designed solution (product, service or platform).
Each module will include online lectures, supporting documents, and both internal and external links. Some modules will require students to demonstrate prototypes as part of their assessment tasks. Knowledge Quizzes (KQ) are incorporated throughout the course to help develop the necessary skills for completing the course projects. These quizzes must be completed according to the instructions given by your class teacher. Please note that KQs are not graded assignments and do not contribute to your overall assessment.
