Learning Intentions
Through critical thinking, practical activities and context, you will:
explore the use of research methods for human factor data and identify key ergonomic considerations relevant to user-centred practices
examine how ergonomics influences modelling and prototyping in designing potential solutions. The
use of ergonomics in informing successful inclusive design, with a focus on its significance and its role in UCD processes, is emphasized
explore inclusive design, considering the impact of personal bias in user-centred research methods,
and how to design with inclusivity in mind
understand the importance of accessibility and usability in product analysis and evaluation, emphasizing their collective influence on the overall effectiveness of UCD.
