Content

An introduction to high fidelity digital prototyping for interaction design. Students work on a project-based project to build a high-fidelity digital prototype through teamwork, under the supervision of teachers. They learn to evaluate their prototype in the light of the needs and wishes of users and stakeholders.

To complete their projects, students will work in teams, using tools for interaction design, collaborative and 21st-century skills, peer feedback and critical thinking skills.

The assignment consists of two parts: a demonstration and a reflection report. Both parts are conditional to complete Project Prototyping.
