Human-centred development not only involves people in the development process but also takes the consequences of people using our developed solutions seriously. In this course, you will examine your app with an aim to refine it so that it explicitly supports people's fundamental needs and rights: Privacy, Security, and Accessibility. You will also learn how to ensure that what you give people to use has been designed with ethical considerations. A solution that takes these core concepts serious in its development is not only usable but will be useful, meaningful and something that people would want.

Privacy, Security and Accessibility are features that are strongly championed by Apple. You will learn about Apple's extensive guidelines and frameworks regarding these core concepts. You will then learn to use them to redesign, incorporate and implement these concepts into your existing app.

What we design has a huge influence on how people behave and live their lives. Thus, design is an inherently ethical activity. You will learn about ethics and how it relates to design. You will use this knowledge to re-examine your existing design and consider the ethical ramifications. You will take what you learn to improve your solution, ensuring that appropriate ethical considerations are clearly featured in your app.

This course includes a work integrated learning experience in which your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a real or simulated workplace context and where feedback from industry and/ or community is integral to your experience. You will undertake an industry engaged project in a studio-based workshop environment. You will be assessed by RMIT staff.
