Implementation and methods of teaching

As part of the course, the development task involves designing a digital solution for a company in groups using the Lean Service Creation (LSC) method.

In the course, there will be three collaborative online days and online guidance sessions four times. The rest of the work will be carried out independently and remotely in groups. The first online day consists of an introductory expert lecture on user experience design and an introduction to the LSC method. At the end of the day, development tasks will be assigned, and group work on them will begin. On the second online day, we will practice modeling interactive mobile applications in practice using the Marvel software (https://marvelapp.com), with an emphasis on touchscreen devices as a platform. On the third online day, groups will present their development tasks, and we will have feedback discussions. Between the collaborative online days, there will be four remote guidance sessions using the Zoom software.

The course includes a two-part pre-assignment. In the first part of the assignment, students familiarize themselves with the LSC method, while in the second part, they delve into UX/UI design using the book 'About Face: The Essentials of Interaction Design' by Cooper, A., Reimann, R., Cronin, D., & Noessel, C. (2014), published by John Wiley & Sons.
