|---|---|
| Course Description | Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary field focusing on the design of computer technology, particularly the interaction between humans (users) and computers. While originally centered on computers, HCI has expanded to encompass all forms of information technology design. This course provides an in-depth understanding of usability, user experience, and user-centered design principles to optimize human-technology interactions. |
| Recommended Books | 1. Human-Computer Interaction Handbook: Fundamentals, Evolving Technologies, edited by Julie A. Jacko 2. A. Dix, J. Finlay, G. Abowd, and R. Beale. Human-Computer Interaction, Third Edition, Prentice Hall, 2003 |
| Course Learning Outcomes | After completing this course, students will: 1. Gain foundational knowledge of HCI principles, usability, and user-centered design. 2. Understand human cognition and its influence on technology interaction. 3. Analyze and design effective user interfaces using standard design patterns and guidelines. 4. Evaluate user interfaces through established evaluation techniques and tools. |
