Earning Criteria
-
Module 1 - Design Basics: Getting Started with Brainstorming an Application - Provides an overview of basic web and application design terms and an introduction to usability and accessibility considerations in technology design.
-
Module 2 - Understanding the Assignment: Knowing your Who's and Why's - Concentrates on considering users in design; presents strategies to determine user types for various web/mobile applications, establishing user goals and how web/mobile applications can help achieve them, writing user stories to represent how proposed applications will support user goals.
-
Module 3 - Wireframes and Mockups – Provides a step-by-step introduction to creating low-fidelity and high-fidelity wireframes and mockups of user interface views for a system. Mapping user interface elements back to user stories will be presented.
-
Module 4 - Interactive Prototyping – Provides a step-by-step introduction to creating an interactive prototype that allows a walkthrough of the actions that would be taken by a user to achieve their goals as outlined in a user story. Mapping of interaction represented in prototype to wireframes/mockups is presented.
