Upon successful completion of this course, a student will be able to understand how to design and create better digital services by utilizing service design principles and existing technologies along with graphical design theories and principles.

- Student learns how to use service design techniques and tools to design a digital service.
- Student can use the existing graphical design theories and principles to design a digital service.
- Student learns how to search and use existing technologies to develop a digital service.
- Student learns how to use the latest methods and tools to evaluate and test a digital service.

Topics to be covered in the course include the following:

- Service Design tools and techniques
- Graphical design principles
- Exiting technologies and APIs to develop a digital service
- Latest methods and tools for testing and evaluating the designs

This course may be completed by either:
a. participating in contact lessons and completing the tasks given as either daytime, evening, or intensive implementations OR
b. by participating in a working life project or another project OR
c. by taking an exam and/or turning in the learning assignments OR
d. by showing the requisite skills as acquired at work OR e. by taking part in a network-based course.

A self (and peer) assessment will be required for completion of the course.

The student must have passed the course Orientation to Digital Services and Orientation to Software Engineering.
