Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
This course aims to provide students with an understanding of concepts and techniques for designing usable and engaging interactive systems. The course will complement an in depth review of usability engineering with basic knowledge of cognitive processes necessary to operate interactive systems and of the social impact of technology. A major emphasis will be devoted to practical aspects of user-centred design, including requirements elicitation, prototyping and evaluation.
