UX 4410 - Digital Portfolio

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
Digital portfolios are a commonly used way to express professional identity and are critical for entry into many careers. The course helps students highlight their existing work produced during the course of their studies in the UXCD program. Students will analyze and create a digital portfolio to showcase their individual skills and work. Students are expected to organize their portfolio by the core UX competencies and a specialization, if applicable. The main goal of the portfolio is to display the breadth (variety) and depth (responsibility) in each of your projects. The class will help students to build their unique personal narrative and apply it to resumes, job descriptions, elevator pitches and culminate in the creation of their portfolio. Because the UXCD program uses digital portfolios as one of the primary assessment tools, the links to the portfolios produced in the course will be shared with the program director (PD), UX faculty, and members of the Industrial Advisory Committee (IAC) for review. (prereq: GS 1001 , GS 1002 , GS 1003 , UX 1400 , UX 1511 , UX 2011 , and UX 3011 )
