Human-centred Systems Design and Evaluation (H)

Description

The aims of the course are : to offer students the opportunity to become familiar with one of the most important interaction paradigms; to enable students to become skilled in the use of techniques and tools for modelling, implementing and evaluating interactive systems; to enable students to apply the theories, techniques and tools presented in the course via challenging exercises which combine design, implementation and evaluation. Course aims: The aims of the course are : to offer students the opportunity to become familiar with one of the most important interaction paradigms; to enable students to become skilled in the use of techniques and tools for modelling, implementing and evaluating interactive systems; to enable students to apply the theories, techniques and tools presented in the course via challenging exercises which combine design, implementation and evaluation. Intended learning outcomes: By the end of the course students will be able to: 1. Describe the key problems in interaction design; 2. Represent and reason about interaction designs; 3. Design, implement and evaluate a simple interactive system using appropriate technology ; 4. Use formal, experimental and analytic techniques for evaluating interaction; 5. Discuss how the lecture material fits within the whole area of HCI research and practice.
