Description¶
The article adopts a six-stage UX design process diagram (Fig. 1) for website products: product definition, information search including competitor review, user analysis via personas and journey maps, information architecture, prototype design as sketches/wireframes/mockups, and testing with possible iteration. It structures which stages GenAI tools support in the studied courses.
Design Implications¶
Context¶
Requirements¶
- Course projects organized around campaign briefings; teams of students per stage
Constraints¶
- The article notes barriers applying generative tools to Web development tasks
Target Learners¶
- undergraduate design and creative technology students
Learning Goals¶
- UX design process competencies
- website design and evaluation
Claims¶
- The perceived value of GenAI and XR varied across design stages: GenAI suited early exploratory prototyping, XR once a 3D artifact existed for spatial evaluation [+W]
- GenAI tools proved most valuable in early UX ideation stages, while design and testing require a human touch [+W]
- AI tools compress idea-to-prototype time, freeing UX teams for human-led connection and alignment [+W]
