User interface plays a vital role in interaction between user and the system. UX is much broader, analytical and higher-level discipline than UI. UX satisfies the exact need of the user or customer. A good product experience starts with UX followed by UI. Both are essential and crucial for the success of a product. Through this course students will be able to learn how the users interact with the computers. They will get to know the different types of models, design process and interaction styles to develop a good user interface. By the end of this course, the students can identify different types of models, design process and interaction styles for developing a good user interface.
