This DTU course in user experience (UX) engineering January 6-24, 2020 (Lectures in B341#A021 and group work in B358 #H067,#H068 and #H072), is focused on applying lean methods to design novel app interfaces incorporating aspects of augmented reality, affective and cognitive computing, emotion recognition and intelligent systems, using high-level prototyping tools like e.g AdobeXD (free), Figma (free with a DTU email), Marvell, InVision (possibly also free with a DTU email) or Axure to build functional prototypes. You may use tools like Lucid Chart (free with a DTU email) or draw.io (or stories on board which may not be free) to draw wireframes and user story maps.
Taking an agile approach to formulate user needs as hypotheses which are iteratively validated, Lean UX provides a methodological framework for rapid prototyping of MVP minimum viable products, centred on incorporating only the most essential features, while reducing time to market based on reuse of design patterns.
The course schedule will consist of daily student presentations / lectures monday through friday starting at 08:00 followed by group work (list of groups found here) focused on the weekly assignments.
All students will be required to upload their updated prototype designs on daily basis, so they will be accessible for everyone to view and test online. The morning sessions will include discussions of a subset of the uploaded student presentations, focused on demonstrating the topics introduced the previous day, plus at the end a short lecture introducing the concepts behind the assignments to be prepared for the rest of the day.
Thus, a rough program for monday to thursday is as follows:
For fridays, the program looks like this:
There will be three different design themes, one for each of the three weeks, meaning, the course work will be evaluated on a weekly basis, with final iterations of the interface prototypes to be uploaded each thursday with subsequent presentations of these during a friday morning session each week, and completion of a small report to be uploaded by friday afternoon.
The report should be based on the 2-column ACM SIG Proceedings template (part of ACM Master Article Template). A "working" template for this course has been uploaded to Campnusnet file share. The .zip can directly be uploaded to e.g. ShareLatex/OverLeaf or you may use this template in OverLeaf. There is also a word file that you may be able to use alternatively (use at your own risk!).
Reading material related to the three design themes will be made available on a weekly basis, and as general background reading material for the course we will use Laura Klein's "UX for lean startups"
