Teaching UX/UI for ITS Academy: Professional modules with real tools
I'll reply within 24 hours to discuss the program.
What ?'ITS Academy and Design Schools: What I bring to class
Students at ITS Academy and design schools learn the tools. Rarely do they learn how work really works: how to collaborate with a development team, how to present a project to a difficult stakeholder, how to handle destructive feedback, how to work with real-time and budget constraints.
They are available for teaching modules in higher technical institutes, ITS Academy and design schools that train digital professionals. I bring to the classroom what's not in the manuals: real workflows, authentic mistakes on real projects, tools used in production.
The programme is built together with the educational coordinator on the basis of the objectives of the course and the level of the students. I don't carry a prefabricated program: I carry experience on SaaS, B2B, automotive, industrial IoT and consumer apps, and we build the path together.
ITS teaching: real workflows, professional tools, authentic case studies
What I bring to the classroomReal workflows
How the collaboration between designer, developer and product manager works in an agile team. How to handle a handoff, how to present a project, how to respond to negative feedback from a customer.
Authentic study cases
Real projects with real constraints: limited budgets, tight deadlines, stakeholders with different opinions. Not success stories built to look perfect: cases where something went wrong and how it was handled.
Manufacturing equipment
Figma, user research tools, methods of Euristic evaluation. Not how to use the tool in the tutorial, but how to use it in a project with clients and developers waiting for the file.
ITS Academy and Design Schools: ideal profile of the client
Suitable ifThe goal is not to cover a program. And that students come out with a concrete understanding of what it means to work on a digital product in a real business context. A theory is only useful when it's anchored to real cases.
How ITS Academy and Design Schools Teaching works: process and steps
How it worksInitial contact
Write down a description of the course, the level of students, the number of hours available and the educational objectives. I'll respond within 24 hours to see if it's a meaningful collaboration.
Call the coordinator
A call with the head teacher to define the modules, the calendar is the expectations. At this stage, the format is also decided: frontal lessons, practical workshops or a mix of both.
Definition of the programme
The program is written together based on what emerges from the call. It is not a fixed document: it is reviewed if needs change during the semester.
Teaching
Classes are held in person or online, depending on location and arrangement. The material shall be prepared in advance and shared with the coordinator before each session.
