Teaching Foundations for Interaction Design using an Enquiry-Based Learning Approach
Re-development of a Human-Computer Interaction module from being lecture based to collaborative and project-driven. Students will engage in collaborative observation and discovery in analysis of real world examples of interactive technologies and gain first hand experience applying tools and techniques used by industry. This new delivery approach to Human-Computer Interaction will prepare students with a better understanding of the foundations for interaction design and create a more relevant learning experience.
