애자일 프로세스를 활용한 인터랙티브미디어 디자인 교육방법

The demand for interactive media is increasing day by day, due to the popularization of smart devices and the spread of broadband network service. The development of interactive media contents design and UX has become important task to designers. While the number of employment of competent designer is getting increased every year, the number of skilled graduates are not enough. Colleges are opening some interactive media courses, but the courses for improving practical work skill are still insufficient. This research applied the agile development methodology, which is a group of software development methods, to interactive media design, in order to overcome these difficulties and make more experience through the lessons. Agile development methodology operates the project based on “multidisciplinary collaboration” between cross-functional teams and “iteration”, a unique repeating process. Specially, through the iteration process, a prototype can be made in short time with highly efficient work, and it brings clients satisfaction. When applied to college design education, this point enables educators to check students’ ability quickly and instruct students by their differentiate level. This education method aims to increase students’ project management ability and make a number of good portfolio. It also suggests a class management plan, which gives practical help for students to enter real business world. Researcher has applied this management plan to interactive media development classes and improved/remedied problems for 3 years. In Conclusion, excellent works of students in these classes and employment cases are introduced. It’s expected that this study can be applied to interactive media and UX design teaching method.
