HUMAN MACHINE INTERACTION

AIM

This course covers the basic concepts, fundamental theories and current researches in human-computer interaction. Topics include principles, theories, methodologies, design, implementation, evaluation and research in computer interfaces. The objectives of this course are: • to familiarize students with basic concepts of human computer interaction • to introduce students to theories and principles in computer interface design • to develop students’ ability to design, conduct and analyze user studies for computer software • to provide students with the knowledge of the design process for user interfaces.
