Content

This is a problem-oriented and design-based learning unit with a focus of introducing students to principles of user-centred design, within the area of Internet-of-Things (IoT). Using contemporary practices and tools, students will apply user-centred design concepts to plan, implement and evaluate IoT enabled applications. Key focus areas will include: challenges of enabling usability, interaction design, and forms of user acceptance testing for the IoT domain. This unit integrates concepts in IoT and software development covered in the pre-requisite units, while also applying principles of usability covered within this unit.
