Welcome and Intro HCD Welcome and Intro
What's this class about? Who is this instructor? Why take this now? Will there be a final exam? Who are these people around me? So many questions as we get under way. We'll spend some of this session getting to know one another and looking at the map of the journey ahead but we will also endeavor to practice what we'll preach, to learn by doing, to try it out rather than just talking about it.

Empathy, Research, and Documentation Listening and Watching
YOU are not the user. The essence of human centred design is designing FOR OTHER people. This means getting outside your head, getting beyond your demographic, getting beyond your comfort zone. This class has three goals: to convey the idea that "empathy" is a verb; to teach you a few concrete skills in ethnographic interviewing; to teach you how to bring observations and insights back to your team and share them effectively.

From Observations to Insights From Data to Insights
The path from observations to insights (and from insights to ideas) is easily taken for granted. In this class we'll learn about how to use creative listening and creative constraints to maximize the creative output of our teams.
We will bring into the class some research data that we collected on our own (or perhaps in teams of two) since last class. In the previous class we talked about how we wanted to record these so that they are ready for our reporting back to the rest of the team.

From Idea to World From Idea to World
Experiments happen in the world. You can't fail if you don't try. You can't learn if you don't fail. The externalization of consciousness is where it's at, baby.

Iteration Iteration
Testing is a return to the research phase and it leads us back into the cycle. In this class we take to heart and develop techniques for failing early and often (and for how to turn failure into new ideas).

- Simple observational exercise: how do new undergrads use the course catalog system
- Exercise: designing for different stakeholders - same "object" but each team designs for completely different user
- Exercise: The Familiar and the Foreign. Two tasks: study how others use/relate to something you are totally familiar with AND study how others use/relate to something you have absolutely no experience with at all.
