- Course objectives
- The course deals with basics of human-computer interaction .
It is focused on psychological and physiological aspects of interface design,
graphical user interface design and its usability asessment.
After finishing the course students
- will be able to evaluate existing screen designs;
- will practise in developing human-computer interfaces with respect to a usability;
- will be able to asess the usability of SW products;
- will understand the usability issues of products in general;
- will gain practical knowledge of designing process based on in-depth knowledge of high and low level models of human-computer interaction. - Syllabus
- Introduction to human computer interaction. Task-centred system design.
- High level models of human-computer behaviour.
- User-centred design and prototyping.
- Evaluating interfaces with users.
- Evaluation - controlled experiments.
- Design of everyday things, concepts, useful designs.
- Representations, visual variables, metaphors and direct manipulation.
- Evaluation based on cognitive models.
- Graphical screen design
- Physical user interfaces
- Interactive tools and techniques in virtual environment.
- Travel and wayfinding techniques in virtual environment.
- Evaluating interfaces using heuristics.
- Literature
- Teaching methods
- Theoretical lectures. Lab work is based on presentations and evaluation of several homework assignments which cover the lifecycle of development of systems' interface - from scenarios to hifi prototypes. All students solve the same problem, solutions are individual.
- Assessment methods
- Project is split in 5 HWA solved mostly in a lab using specialized software. Steps include a design of interface for a specific purpose: from a paper prototype to complete GUI design. Everz step is graded 0-10 pnts. Points exceeding limit 20 are added as bonus to grading of a written exam, 4-5 questions from published list, 90 minutes.
- Language of instruction
