Description User experience designers are designers who particularly require horizontal and vertical skills. This course allows students to understand the necessary knowledge, skills, and tools of user experience designers from four different aspects: objects, processes, experiences, and narratives. Students will learn to combine qualitative and quantitative methods and tools of user research to shape the information architecture of physical and digital products or services. In addition, students will master how to use briefings and visual communication to promote design decisions within the organization and learn to prototype design planning and implement usability testing using physical and remote tools. The course will also introduce how to use generative AI to assist UX research and design. On the other hand, this course also profoundly explores the trends of UX in academic research, integrating both academic and practical aspects.
