Course Learning Outcomes
|
At the end of the course, you should be able to:
- Understanding of human-computer interaction and usability terms, concepts, principles and practices and also explain the capabilities of both humans and computers from the viewpoint of human information processing.
- Describe typical human–computer interaction (HCI) models, styles, cognitive process and various HCI paradigms.
- Apply an interactive design process and universal design principles to designing HCI systems.
- Describe and use HCI design principles, standards and guidelines
- Analyze and adopt usability engineering lifecycle models and methodologies.
- Appreciate the importance of the user interface in software development.
- Classify the key aspects of human psychology which can determine user actions at and satisfaction of the interface
- Describe the key design principles for user interfaces.
- Design software user interfaces through prototyping methods.
