This required interaction course, is the second in a sequence of three, that applies an understanding of intermediate design principles, code language(s), and software used in the creation of web-based communications that are dynamic and responsive, focusing on dynamic user experiences. The role of clear information hierarchy through mapping and wireframing are key considerations in the development of interactive solutions. Through assigned projects students will understand the complex nature of user experience design solutions that need to function in a variety of digital systems, environments, and platforms that consider human centered needs including a broader definition of user and user groups. Concepts and techniques of appropriate hardware and software are integrated into exercises that aid in the creation of well-crafts messages applied to informed design solutions. Students may elect to take additional Interaction Design courses like Experience I and II, starting in the junior year.
