Course Description
This course continues the theoretical exploration of user populations and develops the knowledge and cognitive skills acquired in User Centered Design 1. It concentrates on the principles and practice of Inclusive Design, including its development and its alternative nomenclatures (Universal design, and others). Case studies and examples will be used to illustrate principles and methods, and design project/s will be undertaken to give students the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of the topic. Different methods of user trialing are addressed and exercises undertaken to demonstrate the applicability of the methods in different contexts. The value of sampling, focus groups, questionnaires etc. is explored and the research processes are evaluated. Emphasis is placed on the importance of dual or triple mode feedback and the limits of single source data. A major project is included that involves an 'immersion' process.
