Abstract

User experience design is all about making a product by understanding its users and enables user to use a product easily. UX design is part of current industry standards which can be started along with requirement phase. Undergraduate students build products in project courses. Such courses include Software Life Cycle phases like Requirement gathering/ analysis, Design, Implementation and Testing but not UX design. Thus best of the project fail to generate a product that is usable. This paper presents a case study of minor project course which incorporated UX design in building mobile apps. UX is new technology and little known to instructors at colleges. So students were instructed to learn UX from MOOC on 'UX Design for Mobile Developer's', hosted by Udacity. Also, a workshop by industry expert in UX was conducted. The UX activities specified by MOOC were included as part course assessments. Through the UX design, students identified 3 to 4 user/ mobile device requirements and incorporated them in the implementation. The weightage of marks for UX design is 24%, which increased Design phase weightage to 30%. Finally students were able to launch product, 'KLE Tech STUDio' mobile-app. Attainment of design phase, UX, activities specified by MOOC, implementations are 7.2, 7.82, 6.8 and 7.5 respectively on the scale of 10. Further UX design can be included as part of Software Engineering course. Also, UX design can be tailored to any project course depending on the product being developed.

UX设计将本科项目推广到产品:案例研究

用户体验设计就是通过了解用户来制作产品，让用户能够轻松地使用产品。用户体验设计是当前行业标准的一部分，可以从需求阶段开始。本科生在项目课程中制作产品。这些课程包括软件生命周期阶段，如需求收集/分析、设计、实现和测试，但不包括用户体验设计。因此，最好的项目不能产生一个可用的产品。本文介绍了一个小项目课程的案例研究，该课程将UX设计融入到构建移动应用程序中。用户体验是一项新技术，大学教师对它知之甚少。因此，学生们被要求从由Udacity主办的“移动开发者的用户体验设计”MOOC课程中学习用户体验。此外，还举办了UX行业专家研讨会。MOOC指定的用户体验活动被列入课程评估的一部分。通过UX设计，学生们确定了3到4个用户/移动设备需求，并将其纳入实施。用户体验设计的标记权重为24%，将设计阶段权重提高到30%。最后，学生们能够推出产品“KLE Tech STUDio”移动应用程序。在设计阶段、用户体验、MOOC规定的活动、实施方面的得分分别为7.2、7.82、6.8和7.5(满分为10分)。进一步的用户体验设计可以作为软件工程课程的一部分。此外，用户体验设计可以根据正在开发的产品定制任何项目课程。
