Generating User-Centered Solutions
COURSE ID: CESYS514
Course Overview

In this course you will build on the extraction and interpretation of emotional data generated while unpacking observations. You will work through the personas that you previously defined and situate these in context diagrams that examine the relationships between individual users and the problem space. You will also use emotional relationship data maps and flow of thoughts to create capabilities diagrams that crystallize the needs your system must address.

With an actionable model of your problem in place, you will engage in a series of brainstorming sessions that use as their core inspiration the personas, capabilities diagrams, and context diagrams. From this process you will gather ideas that will propel you toward the creative solutions in your problem space.
