Foundations of Human Computer Interaction Lynne Hall
Unit Aims • To develop an understanding of the basic theoretical and methodological approaches for the design of effective interactive systems. • To support practice with a toolkit of core methods, techniques and tools which can be used in a variety of development contexts, depending on the demands of the problem and the resources available. • To enable students to produce systems which are demonstrably useful, usable and satisfying.
Learning Outcomes • Understand why good user interface design is important and explain how context of use and user characteristics should influence the design of human computer interaction • Use a basic set of methods, techniques and tools for the analysis of user requirements and the specification, design and evaluation of the user interface.
