Course objectives
Under the guidance of experts from practice, students will learn methods, techniques and tools for ideating, prototyping and testing information services. The course is based on solving a design challenge and progressing from low-fidelity prototyping to high-fidelity prototyping and testing. Students work in teams, solving real design challenges under the guidance of experienced designers. Alternatively, the course can be taken as an individual project with intensive mentoring.
