User Experience Design Studio (HCDE 418)

During Fall quarter 2010, I had the opportunity to teach User Experience Design (HCDE 418) to 25 senior undergraduate students at the University of Washington. In eleven weeks, 5 teams of 5 students each successfully completed a redesign for the University’s eCare health services website. Processes taught included user research, ideation, persona building, system modeling, wireframing, prototyping, and reflection.
