Cybersecurity aspects of digital products

Digital Experiences are more than the obvious computing devices of personal computers, tablets, smartphones and watches, they also include cars, homes, and billboards and who know what’s next. This shift demands a multi-modal design and user experience (UX) strategy that encompasses voice and conversational interfaces, as well as gesture design, expressive interfaces, emotional AI and others to create seamless interactions across both online and offline environments highlight the ubiquitous nature of the Digital User Experience. This module gives you the opportunity to explore these topics and consider how to develop such experience as well as considering the implications of their adoption.

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.
