Beschreibung

Human-Centred Design is an approach that places people at the core of every decision point throughout the design process. Identifying, understanding and fulfilling people’s needs, desires, wishes, and goals are imperative in human-centred design. The approach is relevant to any design endeavour that aims to deliver useful products, services, and combinations of both to people as the end-users. The same applies to the design of software, mobile applications, collaboration platforms, and other information systems.

This course is designed with Information Systems students’ needs and goals in mind. Students are guided through their journey in understanding the basics of human cognition and human behaviour that are relevant to the design of information systems. They also learn several methods of human-centred design that are applicable in their projects.
