Our four-day Practicum is an intensive, hands-on workshop led by senior Cooper designers. We’ll show you how to:
- Identify and address business issues
- Plan and conduct user research to uncover user goals and mental models
- Turn user data into a set of personas that guide (and sell!) the design
- Use scenarios and goals to identify and prioritize requirements
- Apply scenarios, principles and patterns to define the right interaction framework
- Apply these methods to everything from pie-in-the-sky innovation to minor product updates
As the foundation course in the Cooper U curriculum, the Interaction Design Practicum was created for usability and design practitioners, product managers, and anyone else who strives to fill the gap between a list of requirements and what actually gets built.
