<nettime-ann> prototyping mooc from amsterdam


.
Do you want to learn prototyping from design experts online, in your own time, for free? 

In 2015 the first MOOC from the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS) was launched. During six weeks, over 4000 participants mastered the process of prototyping interaction by sketching, experimenting, making and testing. They were supported and inspired by a variety of teaching materials including interviews with experts such as Bill BuxtonBrendan Dawes and Dave Gray who talk about their design practice and share their insights.

MOOC?
MOOC stands for Massive Online Open Course. So that says it all, right? The MOOC Prototyping Interaction offers a unique insight in the prototyping process of experts as well as teachers from the AUAS. You will be working on the assignments on your own, but you will evaluate your work and the work of other participants through peer reviews. Course instructors are available for questions during the course. 

Why prototype?
In a world where we have to deal with new technologies on a daily basis, the prototyping process will help you understand the user better and the way he or she interacts with these new and existing technologies. 

Understanding and executing the prototyping process will help in creating designs which are more valuable to the end user.

Who is it for?
To participate, some practical experience in UX design, interaction design and design principles is recommended, but certainly not required. The course is open to anyone who is interested in improving their design process.

When can I start?
The MOOC is available from 29 February at online course platform iversity.org. All you need to do is sign up and start prototyping!
