Course objectives

The Specialization Course in Interaction Design, Web and Games aims to develop skills and solid training in design for interactive media (including the Web) and video games, and in human-centered design methodologies.

This course of the FBAUP, in partnership with FEUP and UPTEC - Science and Technology Park of the University of Porto, is organized in sequential modules, and counts on a faculty specialized in the area of Human-Computer Interaction and respective subareas of study and intervention that, with the collaboration of invited specialists, will identify and analyze the technological and communicational specificities of the various contexts of interactive media, their methodological and procedural repercussions for the development of projects in multidisciplinary teams.

In its course plan, besides the structural concepts of interaction and game design, design methodologies for the various project phases will be studied and implemented, documentation for their communication in the working team will be developed, and different prototyping and evaluation processes will be implemented.
