Learning outcomes

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :
1.	List and define the conceptual elements and metrics of the user experience ;
2.	Distinguish user experience evaluation methods in terms of purpose (goal), objectives (means to reach goal), type of collected data, and deliverables ;
3.	Compare several methods, select the most efficient, argue the choice ;
4.	Plan and conduct the evaluation of an interactive system and propose solutions improving the user experience with this system.

Teaching methods

The pedagogical approach is blended teaching, which alternates face-to-face classroom teaching with online distance learning via Microsoft Teams. The distribution between face-to-face and distance learning is adapted according to the health situation and mobility conditions. For example, in case of strike (TEC, SNCB), the sessions are held remotely. Moreover, some sessions are replaced by autonomous work activities, carried out individually (e.g. writing questions for a quiz) or in groups (e.g. brainstorming).
The teaching methods are flipped classroom and project-based teaching:

• Flipped classroom: students study the material at home and then meet their teacher and peers in a classroom to ask questions and get additional help or to work with their peers;
• Project-based teaching: students develop a project by combining online learning and face-to-face meetings.

Evaluation methods

Continuous assessment without examination in June. The evaluation includes three modes: individual assignments, group assignments and knowledge tests. Each mode represents 33.33% of the final grade. 
September session: individual custom assignment due on the first day of the September session.

Other information

All relevant information regarding these modalities and the progress of the activities (calendar, detailed instructions, evaluation criteria, etc.) are presented during the first course and are available on Moodle.
Some resources (e.g. bibliographic resources, slides, explanatory videos) are in English.

Online resources

Moodle (asynchronous): course slides, bibliographic resources, calendar, models and rubrics, H5P exercises, tests, assignments, workshops with peer assessment, Q&A forum
Microsoft Teams (live): calendar, meetings, documents, discussion, lecture notes
Web links: how-to videos, websites, online software
