Course description and aims
This lecture provides an overview of user characteristics that focuses on individuals (physiology, personality, etc.), behaviors in society, and behaviors against immature technologies. This also aims to deepen the understanding of the user's behaviors and social scientific data regarding them.
Student learning outcomes
The aims of this lecture are:
1. to grasp the characteristics of ICT use,
2. to grasp the behavior and cognition against handling for artifacts and information,
3. to grasp the overview of metrics for user research.
Keywords
user research, user experience, human-centered design
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | ✔ Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
