What makes a good user interface? What is involved when designing
interfaces? How do you design the right navigational model for your
interface? This course examines these issues and teaches you how
to create a sound user interface.
User Interface Functional Design and
Prototyping is a 4-week course that will teach you how to design
user interfaces. You gain an understanding of the overall user interface
design process and learn how to develop
user scenarios, an user object model, a navigational model, and
an exploratory view of the user interface using low-fidelity (paper)
prototyping techniques. By the end of this course, you will develop
a set of user scenarios, a user object model, a navigational or
flow diagram, and a paper prototype for a small software application.
