INTERACTION DESIGN ESSENTIALS – ESA PROGRAM GUIDE
Interaction Design Essentials is a six-month, intensive full-time
program offered by Emily Carr University of Art + Design Continuing
Studies, which blends design principals with technical skills training.
The program is designed to have students exit the program with a greater
understanding of the interaction design field, signified with a
certificate as well as a portfolio of work created throughout the
program. Interaction Design Essentials emphasizes usability (how people
read, navigate and interact with web-based information), accessibility
(web standards, (X)HTML, CSS) and searchability. From the fundamentals
of design to advanced skills in web design, motion graphics and
portfolio development, Interaction Design Essentials is ideal for
students looking to develop significant skills that will prepare them
for professional work. Through the span of the program, students will:
· Acquire knowledge, skills, understanding, and experience in interactive digital media processes and practices;
· Refine and further develop their visual literacy, creative thinking, and modes of expression and communication;
· Appreciate the ideas and intentions of digital media, and their relationships to contemporary adaptive graphic design;
· Develop critical thinking skills in the concepts and processes involved in creating interactive digital environments;
· Build a portfolio of work; and
· Receive a credential attesting to the successful completion of a program of study.
By using a “best practices” approach to interaction design, students
will create platforms that are not only visually appealing but that also
combine accessibility and usability with human interaction. On
completion of the program, students will have a web portfolio
appropriate for professional use.
