Course content
This course is an introduction to prototyping. The aim is for the student to develop a good understanding and to promote good user experience and design of IoT systems. The intention is to work in project form to give the student the opportunity to apply technical knowledge associated with IoT with design-oriented thinking and iterative evaluation of user experience as well as the suitability of a technical solution.
The student shall familiarise themselves with accepted techniques for describing and visualising concept ideas, prototyping, as well as different approaches for user testing to validate relevance and design of IoT systems.
The course introduces current tools and techniques for:
1. Visualisation and description of concepts of an imagined IoT system, as well as relevant scenario-based user experiences (UX) that are the aim of the chosen design.
2. Development of prototypes representing minimum viable products (MVPs), i.e., that are of particular relevance in allowing early evaluation of the intended product’s potential.
3. Evaluation of concept ideas and prototypes in terms of design choices as compared to the user experience, as well as the suitability of the technical solutions, in terms of potential for further development into complete IoT products or additional prototype development needs.
Specific aspects for IoT systems related to design and development are discussed to provide justification for the design of concepts and prototypes, as well as evaluation of user experiences and technical possibilities.
The course also introduces strategies for identifying and using relevant representatives of intended user groups to support the design of user groups (including aspects such as gender, ethnicity and age distribution) as well as forms of evaluation of user experiences.

Course literature
Course evaluation
Malmö University provides students who participate in, or who have completed a course, with the opportunity to express their opinions and describe their experiences of the course by completing a course evaluation administered by the University. The University will compile and summarise the results of course evaluations. The University will also inform participants of the results and any decisions relating to measures taken in response to the course evaluations. The results will be made available to the students (HF 1:14).
