디자인전공에서의 인터랙션 디자인 교과 구성에 관한 연구

The interactivity of digital product or service design has increased as information technology develops. Accordingly, interaction design education become a part of the design education program. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the interaction design education, the class can be organized in various ways. The authors proposed a standardized interaction design class based on core factors, while leaving a room for program variation depending on educators' background or perspective. To find core factors of interaction design education, a historical development of interaction design was reviewed based on computer science, human factors, and design domain. Based on this study, the authors proposed to organize the class in 5 steps such as academic background, discovery, interaction specification / documentation, prototyping, and user testing. Basic factors to be educated for each step are defined. Based on the proposed basic interaction design education program, educators will be able to make program variations according to his/her own background and perspective.
