SUMMARY:Cooper U: Interaction Design Practicum
LOCATION:San Francisco, California, USA
DESCRIPTION:Our four-day Practicum is an intensive, hands-on workshop led b
 y senior Cooper designers. We’ll show you how to:
\n
\n    * Identify and a
 ddress business issues
\n    * Plan and conduct user research to uncover us
 er goals and mental models
\n    * Turn user data into a set of personas th
 at guide (and sell!) the design
\n    * Use scenarios and goals to identify
  and prioritize requirements
\n    * Apply scenarios, principles and patter
 ns to define the right interaction framework
\n    * Apply these methods to
  everything from pie-in-the-sky innovation to minor product updates
\n
\nAs
  the foundation course in the Cooper U curriculum, the Interaction Design P
 racticum was created for usability and design practitioners, product manage
 rs, and anyone else who strives to fill the gap between a list of requireme
 nts and what actually gets built.
