Purpose and description of the content of education:
The aim of the module is to familiarise students with the basic techniques and tools used in planning and carrying out the design process: identifying key stakeholders and defining their needs, creating personas (or protopersons), developing customer pathways (of selected stakeholder groups), defining value propositions, searching for effective strategies for delivering value to stakeholders, prototyping solutions, testing and validating them. Students are introduced to the grid of concepts by which product usability is defined. A particular emphasis is placed on designing in the spirit of minimum viable product, as well as on the stage of moving from defining a problem to evaluating the performance of a prototype when confronted with reality.

The student's work, apart from participation in classes, includes in particular:
Name Category Description
Developing practical skills [a03] Preparation for classes
activities involving the repetition, refinement and consolidation of practical skills, including those developed during previous classes or new skills necessary for the implementation of subsequent elements of the curriculum (as preparation for class participation)
Studying the literature used in and the materials produced in class [c02] Preparation for verification of learning outcomes
exploring the studied content, inquiring, considering, assimilating, interpreting it, or organizing knowledge obtained from the literature, documentation, instructions, scenarios, etc., used in class as well as from the notes or other materials/artifacts made in class
Undertaking, on one’s own initiative and individually, activities aimed at expanding the scope or depth of the teaching content, also beyond the walls of the University [e01] Activities complementary to the classes
a set of activities undertaken independently and on the student's own initiative, aimed at expanding the depth and scope of knowledge and skills, their revision and repetition, retention or verification, also activities carried outside the university, e.g., in a culture promoting or educational institution, a laboratory, in the open air, etc.; also self-education
