Lecturer at Lucerne University of Applied Science and Arts

Interaction Design

For the “Business and Design Management” bachelor programme, I taught Interaction Design to students from all across the globe, between 2017 and 2021.

I set up the curriculum and created the content for the class. The course was held in English. Each student had to complete a project work of their own throughout the course, which span over six months a year.

Programme Goals

The direction and content of the course changed over the years. The programme had not caught up with emerging trends, changed technologies and industry preferences, as well as the used sets of methodologies to approach design for online content. In coordination with the University board, I wrote a new concept with a refreshed, contemporary approach, and we shifted the focus from “Digital Media” towards “Interaction Design”.
