Learn about personas and Goal-Directed Design from the people who invented them!

Interaction Design Practicum

Our four-day Practicum is an intensive, hands-on workshop led by senior Cooper designers. We'll show you how to:

  • Identify, clarify and reframe business opportunities and product strategy
  • Plan and conduct field research to develop a deep understanding of your users
  • Turn research data into a set of personas that guide (and sell!) the design
  • Use scenarios and goals to identify and prioritize requirements
  • Use scenarios to define the right interaction framework
  • Apply these methods to everything from pie-in-the-sky innovation to minor product updates

As the foundation course in the Cooper U curriculum, the Interaction Design Practicum was created for usability and design practitioners, product managers, developers, and anyone else who strives to fill the gap between a list of requirements and what actually gets built.
