User experience (UX) is the design of interfaces individuals and groups use to access digital services. It could be for a chatbot, a game, a touchscreen in a shopping centre or a learning management system. In this unit, we design interfaces for a range of scenarios.
We use code to implement our interfaces and explore ways of integrating technology. Students are given working projects which we configure in class. Students can choose the perspective they wish to adopt for project work and assessment (for instance, designer, marketer, technical developer, ethical hacker or educator). Underpinning our discussions are the issues of cybersecurity and trust in online environments.
