Course Information
Intended learning outcomes
By the end of this class, students should have:
- acquired a broad theoretical understanding of the methods used in Human Centered Computing/Design
- acquired a good knowledge about the user-centered design process
- acquired practical skills in applying a selected subset of the methods used in the user-centered design process
- extended their vocabulary with the relevant domain-specific vocabulary
Teaching methodology including the use of eLearning tools
Lectures + discussions, exercises, and student presentations, written exam (closed book).
Course content
This class is split in two parts. The first part provides an introduction to human centered computing (HCC) and human centered design (HCD) with a focus on the ultimate goal thereof: to build digital artifacts that are easy, efficient and pleasurable to work – or interact – with. In the second part we will focus on the user-centered design process and discuss and get familiar with several methods and techniques (e.g., A/B Test, Heuristic Evaluation, Controlled Experiments, Personas, Storyboards, Diary Studies, and Usability Tests) used to achieve the ultimate goal of HCC/HCD.
Literature
Most introductory books on human-computer interaction, interactive systems, usability, interface design, etc. include the basics we will cover early on in the class, as well as some of the methods we will explore later on. Below is a list (in random order) of some suitable books. The list could easily be extended. The university library has a good collection, including many of the listed books.
