Short Description:

Human-Computer Interaction is the IT sector that deals with the principles of human and computer communication and defines the principles of user interface design, development and evaluation. The user interface system is one of the most important parts of modern software systems whether they are on individual computers or mobile phones, on networks or on the internet. As a result, much of the software development effort is devoted to the development of user-friendly user interface systems.

Objectives - Learning Outcomes:

A key goal of human-computer interaction is to improve communication between users and computers through the right design of user-friendly and ergonomic computers geared to human needs. It provides an understanding of the needs of users, correct interface design guidelines, computational system evaluation methods, and a knowledge base for the available interaction technologies.

Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to:

  • Develops a work analysis for the design of user interface systems.
  • Design software user manuals.
  • Evaluates the interface systems with users of any computer programs.
  • Schedules some basic system interface elements with users in visual programming languages.
