Toteutustapa

In this study unit students learn basics of digital service design related topics: user-experience design (UX Design), interaction design (IXD), user-interface design (UI Design) and digital prototyping.

This study unit will have three (3) contact days and group work. Also, this study unit requires active participation and work for the client cases. Hence, a student must be present and participate each contact session to complete this study unit successfully.

Students sign a Project Agreement with Laurea. The Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) will be transferred to the client. Students are allowed to include group work outcomes into their personal UX design portfolio.

On first day, students form small design teams (3-4 persons) to work with the client whose service is strongly delivered in digital channels. On last day, teams present their final group work and digital service prototype for the client.

In 2021 the client will be Bloxcar, a peer-to-peer car rental service
