This document provides an overview of interaction design. It discusses that interaction design involves shaping digital products for people's use by addressing instrumental, technical, and aesthetic aspects. It also explores possible futures and involves sketching and other representations. The document then summarizes several design paradigms: user-centered design focuses on user needs; activity-centered design focuses on tasks; systems-centered design focuses on system components; and creator-centered design relies on designer skill. It notes that combining all of these paradigms allows interaction design to realize its full potential. Finally, it lists some core courses in the HCI master's program that cover interaction design, user experience evaluation, developing interactive systems, and research methods.

doing things easily and with pleasure

9. usefulness and usability are pragmatic

10. usefulness and usability are pragmatic
they relate to do-goals
post a tweet, lookup a place, setup a website, play a game

11. desirability is hedonic

12. desirability is hedonic
it relates to be-goals
be independent, look cool, belong, remain focused, be loved

13. user experience depends on both
pragmatic and hedonic qualities

14. user experiences occurs when a person
interacts with a product…

15. …and that is why the design of such
interactions should be carefully addressed

16. interaction design is about shaping
digital things for people’s use

17. …it involves changing situations by
shaping and deploying artifacts

18. …it is about exploring possible futures

19. …it entails framing the challenge while
creating possible solutions

20. …it involves thinking through sketching
and other tangible representations

21. …it addresses instrumental, technical,
aesthetical and other aspects throughout

26. approach overview users designer
user-centered
design
focuses on user
needs and goals
guide the design translates user
needs and goals
activity-centered
design
focuses on the
tasks and
activities that
need to be
accomplished
perform the
activities
creates tools for
actions
systems centered
design
focuses on the
components of a
system
set the goals of
the system
makes sure all
the parts of the
system are in
place
creator centered
design
relies on the skill
and wisdom of
designers used

products

inspiration

27. …and this is how the different design
paradigms are intertwined

36. technology

37. design

38. …and only combining all three
paradigms does it realize its potential

39. the HCI programme addresses
all three paradigms…
