Mobile Application Experiences Part 2: Mobile App Design - Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Want to create the next big app, grounded in the needs of real users? This course will teach you Human Computer Interaction (HCI) methods to better understand current behavior in a domain, and then design, develop, and deploy your own application. This module will take you from an application idea through the creation of a paper prototype and a usability evaluation to validate initial usability of your concept. Completion of Mobile Application Experiences Part 1 is not required. You can begin this module with an idea you have had on your own. This course is part of a five-part Mobile Application Experiences series: 21W.789.1x: Mobile Application Experiences Part 1: From a Domain to an App Idea 21W.789.2x: Mobile Application Experiences Part 2: Mobile App Design 21W.789.3x: Mobile Application Experiences Part 3: Building Mobile Apps 21W.789.4x: Mobile Application Experiences Part 4: Understanding Use 21w.789.5.x: Mobile Application Experiences Part 5: Reporting Research Findings
