ENC 4931: User Experience (UX) Research and Design for Professional Communication

Whether you are designing an app, building a social media campaign, writing a policy brief, or creating a professional website, there is a key question you need to answer in every professional context: Is what I'm making really impacting the people it's meant to reach? Instead of guessing the answer, user experience (UX) research and design thinking provides a set of tools, methods, and frameworks that help you answer this question in a data-driven manner. While the field of UX research helps us analyze how someone experiences a piece of writing or technology: how they interact with it, what they think and feel, and how they use or refuse it, the field of design thinking equips us with techniques that enable us to ideate, prototype, and iterate over our designs in ways that produce useful, usable, and humancentered content. Together, these approaches give people across professional fields a systematic way to investigate how real people interact with documents, interfaces, and products and to use those findings to make better decisions about what they produce. In this course, you will learn and practice a range of UX and design thinking research methods: user interviews, persona development, journey mapping, prototyping, co-design, usability testing, heuristic evaluation, and more. To do this, you will build an original research and design project and leave the course with a portfolio-ready artifact demonstrating your ability to apply UX research and design methods for professional contexts of your choice. This course counts as an elective toward the Minor in Professional and Technical Writing, as well as an elective for both the Creative Writing and Literature concentrations in the English B.A. program. It is open to students from all majors
