This module looks at design tools to create interactive prototypes, showing transitions and how designs contribute to content design.

This will be taught in 4 sprints. Students will be required to read around the subject between sprint weeks, using guided sources.



The pattern of sprints will replicate the terminology and the ethos of how UX teams work in industry.



There will be a welcome day for all modules in that term on the first day of the first sprint.



Each sprint will have 1 day (7 hours) of contact totalling 28 hours, plus 6 hours online throughout the module, so 34 hours in total.



Contact will be a combination of workshops, lectures and guest seminars facilitating individual and group work.
