Kursbeschreibung

Windows 8 UX Design Workshop
This workshop is created using the flipped classroom approach. In a flipped classroom approach, students learn the concepts at their own pace and outside of the classroom. They learn the concepts prior to attending the classroom. In the classroom, they apply the concepts by working on the labs.
The hands-on labs will help designers and developers apply and reinforce their learning with respect to:
  • Design principles underlying Windows Store applications
  • Recommended approach and processes for designing the user experience (UX) of Windows Store applications
  • Guidelines and requirements for designing Windows Store application user interfaces
