Bozan, Karoly; Stoner, Claire; Maden, Burcu – Information Systems Education Journal, 2023
User Experience Design (UXD) is an often-neglected area of the information systems (IS) curriculum. UXD classes specifically designed for IS students are still uncommon in IS programs and this study aims to add to the body of knowledge to prepare a more well-rounded future generation of IS professionals. With this goal in mind, this study…
