In today’s fast-paced world, the difference between a product that soars and one that stumbles often comes down to how well it aligns with user needs, desires, and behaviours. This training course on user research is your key to bridging this gap. We will introduce you to a framework that helps you make intelligent choices in your user research and set up a proper project research plan. You will learn about the difference between qualitative versus quantitative user research, researching behaviour versus attitude, natural versus scripted use, etc. You will get familiar with some essential user research techniques (in-depth interview, observation, survey, usability test, card-sorting, etc.), and we will guide you through preparing and conducting your research and explain how to process and synthesize the results.
What to expect
In this training course, you will learn all about the “what”, “why”, and “how” of user research in design projects of digital products or services. To make the training course practical enough, we will use a case, allowing the course participants to apply the theory about user research in a realistic project context. We will work in breakout sessions of small groups led by our design teachers as we prepare to execute user research on the case subject. We accept a limited number of participants per session to optimise group interactivity.
