During the time I was lecturing at the Raffles Design Institute at
DongHua University, I wrote the outline of an "Introduction to User
Interaction Design" couse, based mostly on Ben Shneiderman's
"Designing the User Interface", Nathan Shedroff's "A Unified
Field Theory of Design", and Cooper's Personas.
A few topics I covered on that course where:
1- Introduction to Interaction Design
Discuss the difference between designing objects and designing
interaction, and the aspects of interaction.
2- User Requirements Document
Develop a clear understanding of the characteristics of the
product%u2019s users; understand the tasks users perform; analyze the
data gathered and create the product%u2019s user requirements.
3- Methodologies
Students were shown the importance of using methodologies in the
design process, and were introduced to the concept of
personas/scenarios.
4- Information Architecture & Way-finding
Student were introduced to the concept of information architecture
and principles of way-finding
5- Information Architecture & Content Organization

principles of content organization and CARD SORTING technique.
6- Wireframing & Prototyping
