Abstract

This paper describes a small unit for teaching interface implementation to user experience (UX) designers. Where human–computer interaction (HCI) textbooks and courses include aspects of user interface engineering, they are usually focused towards computer science students. The unit described here is part of a larger online HCI course where the majority of learners are UX professionals, who found it hard to understand why they needed to learn about implementation. The paper explains why the author felt it important to include aspects that help the UX designer understand the behavioural and practical implications of ‘low level’ coding, and also the elements included in the unit. The resulting unit includes many concrete examples linking user behaviour to internal structure and having produced the material, it seems that this may also be a good way to introduce the topic to more technical students before digging into lower level details.
