Digital Service Design Seminar

Course Description

BWDigital services represent a specific category of services that leverage information & communication technology in the service delivery process. In the Digital Service Design Seminar, teams of students address a real-world service design challenge of one of our industry partners (e.g., En). Therefore, students learn and apply digital service design techniques to address the problem and leverage UX tools for developing an innovative prototype (e.g., Adobe XD, Axure RP).

 

Learning Objectives

The students will:

  • explore a real-world digital service design challenge 
  • understand the human-centered design process and apply selected design techniques & tools 
  • deliver a digital service prototype as a potential solution for the  challenge

 

Course Schedule

All meetings will be physical in the KD2lab.

  • Kickoff event: 11.11.2020: 14:00-16:00.
  • Kickoff meeting with industry partners: 18.11.2020: 9:30-10:30

  • Final presentation: 10.02.2020: 14:00-16:00: Final presentation (with industry partner representatives).

 

Course Grading

The grading of the seminar will be based on the deliverable created by the design teams and students’ interactive discussions within the course. We offer the Practical Seminar as Seminar (3 ECTS) in WS20/21.

 

Course Materials

Students will be provided with all necessary materials before each session. Therefore, the material will be uploaded in the ILIAS Portal.
