Date: 9 May, 10 May 2023 | 9am-5.30pm | Classroom Learning
Duration: 2 Days
Course Overview
This course trains participants to understand the user interface/interaction design process, and develop an overview of the topic. It also introduces some of the latest trends and emerging technologies that will shape the future of user interface, interaction development. It also teaches students about the principles and best practices in visual/auditory design and will use hands-on lab sessions to help participants to apply the principles/practices in their daily design works.
This module is part of Professional Certificate in User Interface and Interaction Design.
Course Objectives
The course provides the participant with the knowledge and skills to:
- understand the user interface/interaction design process and applying the guiding principles into daily design work
- understand visual design principles and apply them in design practices
- review style guides and make enhancements to ensure that a consistent design language is applied across products
- be aware of the emerging technologies and trends and gain a deeper understanding of how they may shape the future of UI design

I am passionate about improving human experience when interacting with computers. I am interested in looking beyond the specificity of individual projects to discover the more fundamental research problems, and then to develop generalizable strategies to solve these problems. Looking beyond, I am interested in developing the next generation of interaction paradigms so that we can leverage the full range of human capabilities. I am also interested in combining HCI with AI to create intelligent user experiences.
