Unit 4

Students should see the design process as a form of problem solving that prioritizes the needs of a user. They should be able to identify user needs and assess how well different designs address them. In particular they know how to develop paper and digital prototypes, gather and respond to feedback about a prototype, and consider ways different user interfaces do or do not affect the usability of their apps. Students should leave the unit with a basic understanding of other roles in software development, such as product management, marketing, design, and testing, and to use what they have learned as a tool for social impact.

Major Projects:

• Paper Prototype
