This course provides students with a sound introduction to the discipline of HCI and examines the issues of human factors, user experience (UX), the design and test of computer application interfaces. It focuses on the context of designing and using of computer interfaces and covers methodologies for obtaining and interpreting human behaviour as it applies to the design of user interfaces. Students will develop skills in observing and working with users in interdisciplinary groups, identifying constraints and trade-offs on designs within the context of use, and using models of work and other activity as guides to interface design.
