Applied Interaction Design

- [Voiceover] Hello and welcome to Applied Interaction Design. I'm Dave Hogue. In this course, we're going to use the essential principles of interaction design to create a better, more engaging, and more interactive website. We'll start by reviewing the five interaction design principles and a few other key concepts such as understanding the context of a user experience. Then we'll create a scenario or use case to help guide us through our review of the original website. We'll also use that scenario to help inform our design recommendations to make an improved website that is more effective, more engaging, and more interactive.

As we review the original website, we'll identify weaknesses and discuss in more detail whey they are problems. Then we'll look at how we improve the site and discuss what we changed and why. Although we may discuss some more technical issues in this course, we are not going to delve into coding and review how the improvements to our website were developed. We'll be focused on how to create better interactive experiences. So, let's start applying our interaction design skills.
