IMED 270 Research Methods for Interactive

This course will introduce students to the package of study design and research methods employed in design science. Lessons will be structured around design research methodology, execution and reporting. Students will engage in learning about and practicing research skills and methods, in order to develop the capacity needed to research the people, processes, contexts and temporalities of digital interaction opportunities. Through readings, discussions, and the exploration of examples, guidelines, and heuristics, the course engages students in the methodological aspects of human-focused research within design practice.
