Transdisciplinary Teaching and Learning in UX Design: A Program Review and AR Case Studies

Today’s user experience (UX) educators and designers can no longer just focus on creating more usable systems, but must also rise to the level of strategists, using design thinking and human–computer interaction (HCI) solutions to improve academic and business outcomes. Both psychological, designer,...
