In an interaction design process, different methods are applied in several stages of project development: Context/User Inquiry, Concept Generation, Idea Testing, Prototype Development, Evaluation and Concept Iteration.
This course is project-based and will allow students to have a hands-on experience with a range of methods at different stages of interaction design process.
Organised in groups, students will develop innovative design concept for a product, a service or an experience. 
Following a structured stages of observation, creation, and evaluation we will discuss and apply from situated and user-centered methods to creative design practice (eg. bodystorming, context analysis, video scenarios).
