Designing Mobile Services

Attention all inventors! This course teaches you to invent mobile information services. You will learn a unique human-centered design process (improv brainstorming, story-boarding, interviewing). Students work in small, interdisciplinary teams to discover unmet needs of users. They create multiple concepts of a mobile service and assess their technical feasibility, financial viability, and desirability. Then they choose a single service idea and  produce a plan with a video that illustrates the user experience it is intended to produce. Grades will be determined primarily by the quality of the team’s products.
