Synopsis This course presents the physical and informational aspects of the human computer interaction. It emphasises on the process of user interface design and development including user-centered design and task analysis. The course also stresses on the user interface evaluation and experiments through group as well as individual project work.
Learning Outcomes • By the end of the course, students should be able to: • Describe the concept of human computer interaction and the application of human factors as a multi-level process of communication through design and evaluation of interactive systems. • Apply their theoretical knowledge to issues that arise in the design of interactive systems. • Build a prototype development project according to principles and guidelines of human computer interaction
