Modern classrooms must be interactive, allowing students to explore, experiment, and collaborate. To truly understand and critique technology, students must experience it firsthand. This philosophy is especially vital in tech-centric courses like HCI, where hands-on exposure to real-world tools fosters deeper learning.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To achieve this, students engage with various digital platforms that enhance their understanding of UX design, prototyping, and AI-powered automation. Tools like Figma, Canva and MIT App Inventor help them build and test user-friendly interfaces, while AI-powered resources such as video generators, infographic makers, and color palette generators introduce them to the role of artificial intelligence in design and content creation. By experimenting with these technologies, students develop a critical perspective on their usability, effectiveness, and ethical implications. Additionally, practical exercises such as navigating UserInyerface, an intentionally frustrating UI website challenge, allows them to experience poor design firsthand while reinforcing key usability principles.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Beyond tools, fun activities make learning even more engaging. Emoji storytelling encourages creative expression using digital symbols, meme wars turn complex HCI theories into humorous and relatable content, and interactive team presentations promote collaboration using digital platforms. These activities ensure students actively participate rather than passively receive information.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8078dc8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8078dc8\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f5dc3e6\" data-id=\"f5dc3e6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10df6e7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"10df6e7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2_Subpic-1024x768.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-36731\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2_Subpic-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2_Subpic-600x450.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2_Subpic-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2_Subpic-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2_Subpic-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2_Subpic-16x12.jpeg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ce6a88a\" data-id=\"ce6a88a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c4af109 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c4af109\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"701\" src=\"https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/3_Subpic-1024x897.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-36732\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/3_Subpic-1024x897.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/3_Subpic-600x526.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/3_Subpic-768x673.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/3_Subpic-1536x1346.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/3_Subpic-2048x1794.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/3_Subpic-14x12.jpeg 14w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-310f9bf elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"310f9bf\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2c42ff5\" data-id=\"2c42ff5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a8ce917 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a8ce917\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">At DISTED, these interactive approaches are actively practiced, making learning exciting and relevant.
