This unit introduces rapid, practical UX practices and foundational design thinking for AI‑augmented products, emphasizing quick prototyping, strong use‑case definition, and task prioritization. Learners will also examine where AI is likely to automate UX work and practice writing better prompts and questions to prepare for deeper prototyping and technical integration in later units.
Learning Objectives
- Analyze time‑constrained UX scenarios and select appropriate rapid methods (e.g., short exercises, focused sketches) to produce usable insights within a couple of hours
- Apply low‑fidelity paper prototyping techniques—using pencil and sticky notes—to create and iterate at least three candidate interface flows for a defined use case
- Demonstrate the ability to write a strong use case and allocate interface real estate by prioritizing tasks according to importance and complexity
- Evaluate the likely impacts of AI on UX practices by identifying techniques prone to full automation and formulating improved questions/prompts for interdisciplinary collaborators and AI agents
