Min. antal deltagere:12 
Forventet antal deltagere:40 
Maks. antal deltagere:80 
Formelle forudsætninger:Students are expected to have basic experience with design of it-applications, for example websites, on a level similar to that attained in the courses Digitale Medier: Formidling og Design or Medier og kommunikation and Webdesign og webkommunikation and Interaktionsdesign. 
Læringsmål:After the course, the student will be equipped to manage evaluation
of the usefriendliness of digital products. The student will be able to independently conduct usability-tests, write test reports and demonstrate knowledge of the research and literature that inform the field.

After the course, the students

* Can identify and apply the most important concepts and methods for the analysis of user interaction with websites and, less extensively, with mobile appliances.

* Can apply quantitative and qualitative methods in their usability studies.

* Can promote the enforcement of usability in organisations.

* Can identify innovative usability requirements and requirements for universal access
 
Fagligt indhold:Some of the topics we will work with:

Human factors psychology, design guidelines, user profile creation, task analysis, heuristic evaluation, usability laboratorium sest-up, test methods, interview methods, userfriendliness for disabled people, online userfriendliness questionnaires, gaze tracking, mobile interfaces, input on limited keywords, cost-benefit of usabilty plus planning for a usability budget.

 
Læringsaktiviteter:14 ugers undervisning bestående af forelæsninger, øvelser og vejledning

14 weeks of teaching comprising lectures, exercises and supervision.

The first half of the course will be dedicated to lectures on usability theory and method (from 9 to 12) plus the exercises where students get to directly test the different tools and methodologies, mainly working with a website (from 13 to 15). Students will also have the chance of participating in a usabiltiy experiment.

In the second half of the course, the lectures and organized exercises give way for process guidelines and group supervision, so that students can work on their final projects. The projects are the conclusion of the "user-centered design" specialization, thus they will integrate knowledge from both the "Target Group Analysis" course the students took in the previous semester and the "Usability" fundaments laid out in the first part of the course.
