OER for Graphic Design GD90: Designing the User Experience

[Katrina Smith]

Hi! 

I've been searching on the list history and I don't see any options for graphic design OER. 

I have a faculty member requesting an OER for GD 90: Designing the User Experience 

Description:

This course covers user experience design, following the user-centered design process. It is oriented toward practical methods for approaching a design problem holistically, beyond usability and usefulness. It examines different target platforms such as smartphone, tablets, and desktop systems. A user-centric approach is employed to determine which platform is best for the desired application. In this class, students will demonstrate an understanding of user experience including how to design for it and how to evaluate it. This course teaches a set of techniques to gather information about what the user needs, how to design and model interfaces based on those needs and then how to evaluate the design to ascertain that the user's goals are met.

Katrina,

While it's not an OER or even a textbook, a resource that I have long considered as absolutely seminal in the field of human-computer interface design is Brenda Laurel's "Computers as Theater." 

https://www.amazon.com/Computers-as-Theatre-Brenda-Laurel/dp/0201550601/

  

Laurel was one of the designers of the original Macintosh interface.  She analyzes interface design through the lens of Aristotle's approach to the theory of drama. It is most enlightening. As the senior interface designer on the project to move the venerable PLATO Learning System from DOS to Windows in the late 1990s, I leaned heavily on her insights.
