Human-Computer Interaction uses Personas in developing Information Architecture and Design. Game Developers also use Personas for User Experience, and both HCI and Game Developers use stories. This course will teach you how to develop more sophisticated, creative Personas, characters, settings and plots for the game, website or application you are creating by teaching you the theater skill of Improvisation. You will also gain confidence with public speaking and fielding Q&A sessions. This immersive course is designed for students who want to become more creative and faster thinkers, and for students who want to hone these skills.
