Curso 3 de 8 em Specialization Design de Interação

People are social creatures and the modern Internet reflects that. Technology has made collaboration at a distance possible in new ways that present their own set of challenges. This course will introduce you to the major challenges and opportunities for creating online communities. What does the future hold? Learn how social computing can create collaboration experiences that go beyond what’s possible face to face.

Connecting People through Technology

When you think of social media, you might think of a popular social network, like Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn. These are indeed powerful, but the universe of social media is much larger. Both online and off, most everything we do has a social component that is mediated by some technology. After all, technologies have been helping people communicate since long before your favorite curly-haired CEO dropped out of college. In this module, you’ll learn about different types of social software, how to think about physical collaboration and digital collaboration using the same framework, and what the challenges to success for collaborative software are.

Scott Klemmer
Professor
Cognitive Science & Computer Science

Hi, I'm Scott Klemmer, an Associate Professor of Cognitive and

Computer Science at UC San Diego, where I co-direct the new design lab.

I'm here today to invite you to join me for

this new specialization with Coursera on interaction design.

We've put together a bunch of new content that we're really excited about.

In this specialization, you'll learn how to design, implement, and

evaluate user interfaces, and how to rapidly iterate and revise your designs.

You'll learn fundamental principles for how to design user interfaces effectively.

How to translate those fundamentals into practice to make your designs better.

And how to evaluate what you come up with with real users, so

that you can understand that it meets an actual human need.

The place to start with this specialization

is the Intro to Interaction Design class.

From there,

you'll have an opportunity to dive deeper into a number of different topics.

Some of these include social computing, interaction techniques, and evaluation.

Once you've completed the advance material here,

you can take everything that you've learned in all the courses and

apply all of that stuff together in a capstone experience,

that we're putting together in a collaboration with Instagram.

Here, you get to do an open-ended project where you get to show the world and

yourself what you can do with all of these design materials.

This is a great opportunity to put together a portfolio piece, or

something that you can use to impress your family and friends, or

get a job in the design field.

In this specialization like with any learning experience,

you get out of it what you put into it.

I've already heard from a number of you who are excited about doing the full

specialization with all the materials and the Capstone.

Others of you might watch a few select videos because you already know this stuff

or are just looking for a particular piece of material, and that's great too.

You should use these learning materials in whatever way is most valuable for you.

And think about what your learning goals are,

what you hope to get out of it, when you go into the class.

Those of you who do complete all the materials will have the opportunity to

earn a Verified Interaction Design Certificate.

This specialization builds on materials that we've done with Coursera for several

years now, and I've been amazed by what students have done in our class already.

Here's an example of some early prototyping that students have done.

This is a great way to express your creativity.

Here's an example of how that stuff evolves over time.

So already, all around the world,

thousands of students have created interactive web applications

that express their design ideas and fill a human-centered need.

Even beyond that students around the world have shared learning materials with each

other, like these sketch notes that one student did.

Some projects even go on to have a kick starter or launch in other ways,

and that's been awesome to see.

And so you can look at some of these previous student projects

if you're looking for a design inspiration.

You can also use this as a chance to meet up in person

as students around the world have all ready done.

So really the world is your oyster.

I'm looking forward to seeing all of the great ideas that you come up with.

And the contributions that you make.

And I'm looking forward to your joining me with this new specialization.

Welcome.
