Type systemIn computer programming, a type system is a logical system comprising a set of rules that assigns a property called a type (for example, integer, floating point, string) to every "term" (a word, phrase, or other set of symbols). Usually the terms are various constructs of a computer program, such as variables, expressions, functions, or modules. A type system dictates the operations that can be performed on a term. For variables, the type system determines the allowed values of that term.
CarpentryCarpentry is a skilled trade and a craft in which the primary work performed is the cutting, shaping and installation of building materials during the construction of buildings, ships, timber bridges, concrete formwork, etc. Carpenters traditionally worked with natural wood and did rougher work such as framing, but today many other materials are also used and sometimes the finer trades of cabinetmaking and furniture building are considered carpentry. In the United States, 98.
Recherche en designLa recherche en design est la tentative visant à faire du design une discipline scientifique. Si cette tentative est déjà bien avancée à l'international, notamment dans les pays anglo-saxons (Royaume-Uni, États-Unis, Canada, Australie, Nouvelle-Zélande), mais aussi aux Pays-Bas, en Italie, en Scandinavie, en Turquie, au Japon, en Corée, ou encore au Brésil, elle s'est développée de manière différente dans les pays francophones (au Québec d'abord, puis plus tard en Suisse, France, Tunisie, Belgique).
Service-learningService-learning is an educational approach that combines learning objectives with community service in order to provide a pragmatic, progressive learning experience while meeting societal needs. Service-learning involves students (k-12, higher ed) in service projects to apply classroom learning for local agencies that exist to effect positive change in the community. The National Youth Leadership Council defines service learning as "a philosophy, pedagogy, and model for community development that is used as an instructional strategy to meet learning goals and/or content standards.
Conception de site webLa création et la conception de site web ou web design est la conception de l'interface web : l’architecture interactionnelle, l’organisation des pages, l’arborescence et la navigation dans un site web. La conception d'un design web tient compte des contraintes spécifiques du support Internet, notamment en matière d’ergonomie, d’utilisabilité et d’accessibilité. Le web design réclame donc des compétences en programmation, en ergonomie et en interactivité, ainsi qu'une bonne connaissance des contraintes techniques liées à ce domaine.
Expérience utilisateurthumb|Diagramme situant l'expérience utilisateur L'expérience utilisateur (EU) (en anglais, user experience, abrégé UX) est la qualité du vécu de l'utilisateur dans des environnements numériques ou physiques. C'est une notion de plus en plus courante là où l'on utilisait, encore récemment, les notions d'ergonomie des logiciels et d'utilisabilité.
Design methodsDesign methods are procedures, techniques, aids, or tools for designing. They offer a number of different kinds of activities that a designer might use within an overall design process. Conventional procedures of design, such as drawing, can be regarded as design methods, but since the 1950s new procedures have been developed that are more usually grouped together under the name of "design methods". What design methods have in common is that they "are attempts to make public the hitherto private thinking of designers; to externalise the design process".
Interaction techniqueAn interaction technique, user interface technique or input technique is a combination of hardware and software elements that provides a way for computer users to accomplish a single task. For example, one can go back to the previously visited page on a Web browser by either clicking a button, pressing a key, performing a mouse gesture or uttering a speech command. It is a widely used term in human-computer interaction. In particular, the term "new interaction technique" is frequently used to introduce a novel user interface design idea.
Mémoire spatialevignette|La mémoire spatiale est nécessaire pour naviguer dans un environnement. La mémoire spatiale est la partie de la mémoire d'un individu responsable de l'enregistrement des informations concernant l'espace environnant et l'orientation spatiale de l'individu dans celui-ci. La mémoire spatiale est ainsi requise pour la navigation spatiale dans un lieu connu, comme dans un quartier familier. Elle est étudiée en neuroscience (chez le rat) et en psychologie cognitive (chez l'homme).
User experience designUser experience design (UX design, UXD, UED, or XD) is the process of defining the experience a user would go through when interacting with a company, its services, and its products. Design decisions in UX design are often driven by research, data analysis, and test results rather than aesthetic preferences and opinions. Unlike user interface design, which focuses solely on the design of a computer interface, UX design encompasses all aspects of a user's perceived experience with a product or website, such as its usability, usefulness, desirability, brand perception, and overall performance.
