  • Formål og læringsmål

    The purpose of this core area is to develop students’ competencies to enter complex usage scenarios and independently take part in the design process concerning the design, construction and testing of complex user interfaces.

    The subject involves the analysis, understanding of and reflection on the user’s experience and needs in various user contexts, including usability. Also considerations on Information Architecture and techniques, and utilisation of web media techniques. The focus is on understanding and organising user experiences in relation to design and development.

    Viden

    Upon completion of the course, students should have acquired knowledge about:
    ● Practice, applied theory and methods for the design of user experiences following Goal-Directed Design
    ● An ability to reflect on the web developer’s practice of designing user experiences, including the use of user survey methods
    ● Information Architecture
    ● Aesthetics and trends in Interaction Design
    ● User interface construction via HTML5, CSS3, CSS precompilers, CSS frameworks and JavaScript
    ● Testing of user interfaces

    Færdigheder

    The students will acquire the following skills:
    ● Using methods and tools to design user experiences for target groups with the involvement of the users
    ● Assessing practice-orientated and theoretical issues when designing user interfaces
    ● Selecting and justifying relevant solution models
    ● Communicating practice-orientated and professional issues about the design of user experiences and communicating key issues to partners and users
    ● Prototyping, building and testing user interfaces

    Kompetencer

    The students will learn to:
    ● Handle complex design processes based on analysis and planning
    ● Design, organise, build and test user interfaces and user experiences for complex systems, independently and in groups
    ● Identify and structure their own learning requirements and develop their own skills and competencies in relation to the design, construction and testing of user experiences

  • Undervisningsform
    The teaching in the Web Development Programme is a dynamic, interactive process, where the main emphasis is on student participation. The teaching is based on relevant business practice, and links theory and practice. Issues are included from the different types of companies in the IT sector. The student takes responsibility for his or her own learning, and the teachers constructively contribute to the learning process.

    To ensure the optimal academic learning and personal development for each individual student, the Web Development Programme uses varied pedagogy with the main emphasis on dialogue, discussion and projects.

    The teaching is organised so that it is varied, among other things, through class teaching, guest lectures when available, project work in groups and individual work – often using interdisciplinary issues and always with an application-orientated basis. The different learning formats will, in addition to the academic content, also develop the student's ability to work both independently and in collaboration with others.

    In general for all of these activities, the course of study always tries to set clear objectives for the learning activities.
