After the course, the student can:
- Evaluate the usability of products and services e.g. using usability heuristics
- Estimate usage needs and formulate design requirements
- Do traditional usability testing with test persons
- Understand quantitative analysis methods of usability and user experience
- Design user interfaces applying design tools
- Apply design patterns in UI design
- Understand the significance of accessibility in services
Students practice usability assessment skills of services using e.g. Nielsen's 10 heuristic rules. Common design tools are applied to user interface sketching in assignments.
The course strengthens the following working life skills: creativity, multi-professionalism, problem solving skills, information and communication technology skills, communication skills and cooperation and negotiation skills.
