As educators, how do we get started to teaching web design for beginning students? How do we structure course(s) throughout the semester? What are some of the challenges and limitations to teaching web design compared with traditional graphic design? This session provided practical examples of how to incorporate coding languages, interactive systems, and collaboration into our curriculums.

Join Qiuwen Li in exploring content-driven, human-centered web design processes, for creating an innovative classroom environment. She shares methods and challenges in teaching web design and interface design by using case studies from the three main sections: 1) Bring interactivity to create dynamic experience by learning web languages (html, css, javascript, etc.); 2) Workflow of modern web design from wireframes to style guide; 3) Exploring tools for measuring student success.
