Thanks for this advice -- very interesting.
I keep meaning to start a thread up about how easy it is to move into
UI design / UX from a another (web) job and you've given me some
insight into this from your post.
For financial and other reasons I'm not that keen on stuyding for a
Master's
Hi David,
I took M873 a few years back while working as a front end developer/web
producer. It got me a hybrid front end/user experience role, but I found it
hard to move into a full UX role with just that course and my limited
experience. It helped me get my foot in the door for interviews, but

P.S. That's no reflection on the OU course -
I thought it was excellent
overall. Only complaint was that the
textbooks fell apart too easily -
Glad you liked the course. For anyone who wants to read a very
Hi
Yep, I took it as career development. The course helped me realise
that I am very much interested in the field and that I want to learn
a great deal more and start building into everything I work on. I
very much want to make a move into the field but it's not the best
time to find a new job

Open University course M364 (

course in Fundamentals of Interaction Design. I think it's good for someone
who wants to get the basics right, maybe not so good if you're looking for
state of the art technology - in fact we get

Hi,
I'm currently studying on the OU course M873, User Interface Design
and Evaluation so just thought I'd add a couple of thoughts in case
it's of interest to this discussion.
I think the course content is good -- it covers the principles of HCI
and usability etc. It's supported with some

One of the complaints I'd have about it is
that the examples are quite old as the course
last seems to have been revised around 2000.
Correct. I'm not involved in this course any
Thanks for this response Caroline. I agree that the course isn't
web-centric (in fact I'd like it to be a little more web-oriented
given my personal interests!). Of course HCI covers a huge area as
you rightly point out.
I'd be interested to hear from employers / hiring managers on
this list

I took M364 last year and really enjoyed it. The price of the course,
~£400 compared with ~£900 for M873, is significantly less than
others, which was (and is!) good for me. There is a reasonable amount
of web stuff on there and, although some of the course does feel a
little dated (the set text

Did you take it as part of a career development? If so, has it helped you

Hi Petra,
Given your college's emphasis on IT, digital media and design, Interaction
Design certainly looks like it would make a good fit.
I'm currently studying IxD at undergraduate level with the Open University (

I'm an undergrad at the University of Washington in Seattle planning

my passion is more in the area of interaction design than in
mindlessly programming. I'm dabbling in research in human-computer

A liaison between a Graphic Designer and a Programmer (an Engineer or
a Developer?) sounds like a Web or Interactive Producer to me.
For what that's worth.

Liason sounds like an administrative support role.
While not a very accurate analogy, interaction design can be seen as
the third leg of a stool for software development with visual design
and coding being the other two legs.
