User experience (UX) research seminar

Supposing is good, but finding out is better.
— Mark Twain

Please note that the seminar does not take place in summer term 2022.

 

Seminar Content

User experience (UX) research systematically analyzes users and their requirements in order to shed light on the process of designing the experiences users make in interaction with digital technologies and policies.

During the seminar, (groups of) students employ existing and novel research theories, concepts, tools, and methods (e.g., interviews, surveys, experiments) to uncover users’ cognitions, emotions and behaviors while interacting with state-of-the-art digital technologies. Approach and results of the research projects and the implications for the design and development of digital technologies, policies and strategy are written down in a seminar paper, presented, and discussed with peers and industry experts during block sessions.

To support students in conducting their research projects, scientific sessions introducing research design, implementation, and presentation as well as feedback sessions are provided.

In summer semester 2021, the UX research seminar will take place in collaboration with PSD Bank and the Institut für digitales Management. It will therefore be held in GERMAN.

Topics and basic literature will be introduced and announced in the first session.
