This course is designed to introduce you to user behaviour and usability testing through methods combining experience design, cultural anthropology, urban and ethnographic studies. Through analysis of everyday public spaces you will gain an ability to evaluate how user-centered design will help build comfort, convenience and ease of use without compromising the performance of designed products and experiences. These fundamental skills will provide a base which you can apply to other advanced design courses.
