Learning Goals
The general learning objectives promote the development of imagination capabilities (explore, debug, dialogue).
a. Knowing how to use research as an operating tool for interface design project; b. Integrate the methodological itinerary in medium complexity projects;
c. Being able to use a distinctive and enhancing imagery of inspiration;
d. Be able to demonstrate critical skills;
e. Being able to represent, test and communicate an idea;
f. Be able to outline the content and the most appropriate technologies to implement the proposed concept;

Contents
The knowledge, skills and competences to be acquired are developed at an average level of complexity and will be a reflection of learning, whose pedagogical strategy will focus on the interface design (UI), focusing on the concept, market opportunities and user experience (UX).
Syllabus oriented to subject(s) and project(s) to develop: 1. interfaces design (the complexity of simplicity);
2. Personas, contexts, settings, stories and storyboards; 3. Mental models and conceptual models;
4. Interface Design (UI), Interaction Design (IxD) and User Experience (UX); 5. Communication strategies in Digital Media.

Teaching Methods
Are privileged the active methods to enhance the involvement, interest, analysis and critical capacity of students.
EVALUATION
In the NORMAL SEASON assessment students may choose one of two schemes: Continuous or Final Assessment. 1. CONTINUOUS EVALUATION SCHEME Evaluation Components: a) Class participation: 20%; b) Work developed during the period with the accompaniment of the teacher, which must be submitted, at least, to a periodic evaluation with public disclosure of the classifications: 40%; c) Presentation and defense of the work developed during the classes, which occurs during the "Regular Season Evaluations": 40%. 2. FINAL EVALUATION SCHEME a) Work developed during the period with the teacher's accompaniment: 40%; b) Examination based on the contents taught: 60%.
