Cooper U: Interaction Design Practicum

Location: San Francisco, California, USA

About This Event

Our four-day Practicum is an intensive, hands-on workshop led by senior Cooper designers. We'll show you how to:

* Identify and address business issues
* Plan and conduct user research to uncover user goals and mental models
* Turn user data into a set of personas that guide (and sell!) the design
* Use scenarios and goals to identify and prioritize requirements
* Apply scenarios, principles and patterns to define the right interaction framework
* Apply these methods to everything from pie-in-the-sky innovation to minor product updates

As the foundation course in the Cooper U curriculum, the Interaction Design Practicum was created for usability and design practitioners, product managers, and anyone else who strives to fill the gap between a list of requirements and what actually gets built.

What attendees have said about this course:

"Highly recommended! Even as an experienced designer I both learned a lot and got a sanity check for the work I'm doing. I'm totally energized!"

"Well worth your time. Fills the large void between needs identification and construction."

"Inspirational, educational, fun. I'm leaving with a lot of tools, information, and confidence."

Our new "Business of Innovation" course happens the following week on June 23-24.

If you can't attend this Practicum session, there's another July 22-25, followed by our two day Visual Interface Design and Communicating Design classes.
