| Purpose: Students who complete this module successfully will have a fundamental-level overview of the principles and concepts of human-computer interaction (HCI). Students become cognisant with trends in the development of usercentred computer applications and in the types of interfaces and interaction styles. They gain an understanding of various attributes of the intended users that may influence computer use, such as their cognitive, perceptual, cultural and social characteristics. Students will be able to describe and compare different usability evaluation methods. They will be qualified to serve as novice members of a design team of interactive technological systems. |
