Training > Interaction Design Methods

Audience: UI Designers, Web Designers, Interaction Designers, Information Architects, Usability Engineers, Developers, Product Managers, and anyone tasked with designing, implementing or evaluating task flow and behavior of a user interface. This course is particularly relevant to organizations with few or no Interaction Designers.

Description: Interaction Design determines the structure and hierarchy of a product or website. It communicates and supports the flow of steps users take to complete tasks, and it provides the framework for how the system behaves based on different actions users might take. Without good interaction design, a product is doomed to a life of poor usability. This course will provide you with effective techniques for creating interaction designs. You’ll learn many methods for catching UI mistakes early, before you’ve spent significant time coding, and you’ll get a chance to practice creating low-fidelity prototypes with others in an interactive team exercise.

Length: 4 - 8 hours (customizable)

Course highlights: interaction design techniques creating low-fidelity prototypes horizontal vs. vertical prototypes flow diagrams, use cases and task analysis wireframing when and how to use different kinds of prototypes examples and exercises.
