| 1 |
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to : · AA1: Describe the SCRUM and UCD methods · AA2: Explain the integration of SCRUM and UCD by illustrating different situations throughout the lifecycle of a project (phase, level of effort, deliverables, etc.) · AA3: Apply UCD methods and techniques that support the design and evaluation of interactive systems within project development · AA4: Analyze and compare several deliverables (e.g. two prototypes), and choose the most efficient by justifying their choice · AA5: Plan and evaluate development activities, and propose solutions that iteratively improve the digital strategy |

Teaching methods
The pedagogical approach is blended teaching, which alternates face-to-face classroom teaching with online distance learning via Microsoft Teams. Teaching methods include flipped classroom and project-based learning:
- Flipped classroom: students study or complete an assignment at home and then meet with teachers and peers in a classroom to ask questions, get extra help or work in groups;
- Project-based learning: students develop a project by combining online learning (e.g. watching tutorials or completing assignments) and face-to-face meetings.
Evaluation methods
Continuous assessment without examination in January, following three modes: knowledge tests (40%), group assignments (30%) and individual assignments (30%). In September, a custom-made individual assignment (i.e., based on failed modes) must be submitted on the first day of the session.
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools must comply with the guidelines established by the ESPO faculty. It is permitted as a writing aid (e.g., text improvement, translation) and for information retrieval. For the submission of certain assignments, the instructor defines the other authorized uses (e.g., idea exploration, brainstorming, image or text generation).

Other information
All relevant information regarding these modalities and the progress of the activities (calendar, detailed instructions, evaluation criteria, etc.) are presented during the first session and are available on Moodle. Some resources (e.g. bibliographic resources, slides, explanatory videos) are in English.
Online resources
Moodle (asynchronous): course slides, bibliographic resources, calendar, models and rubrics, H5P exercises, tests, assignments, workshops with peer assessment, group choice, Q&A forum
Microsoft Teams (live): calendar, meetings, documents, discussion, lecture notes
Web links: how-to videos, websites, online software
