UX-WAD: The Science and Art of Effective Web and Application Design
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Designing intuitive and effective user
interfaces is both science and art. During this course, participants will learn
how to apply research-based and field-tested Web and application design
principles and methodologies.
Initially they will focus on the four
foundational layers of the interface: Navigation, Presentation, Content, and
Interaction. Participants will then be provided with the framework and
methodology needed to support rapid prototyping initiatives. Finally, they will
extend their sphere of influence through the application of accessibility and
cross cultural design methods.
What you'll learn
- How to implement user-centered requirements into usable designs
- How to integrate the focal points of design: Navigation, Presentation, Content, and Interaction
- How Web site and application design strategies differ and overlap h
AUDIENCE

and development of e-commerce, sites, informational and promotional sites,
intranets, and applications
METHODOLOGY
