Course Description


FIMS 9715B (Winter 2020)   Special Topic: Introduction to Human-Computer Interaction

Course Description
This course provides an introduction to a number of areas in human-computer interaction (HCI). Broadly speaking, HCI is an interdisciplinary area concerned with the design, evaluation, and implementation of interactive systems for human use and with the study of major phenomena surrounding how humans work with technology. HCI addresses any interaction with computers by humans, as developers or as users, as individuals or as groups. On completion of the course, students are expected to have theoretical knowledge of, and practical experience in, the fundamental aspects of conceptualizing, designing, and evaluating interactive systems that are useful and usable. Design of usable technology draws on knowledge of information, cognition, communication, and technology. It is expected that students will become familiar with sufficient background in HCI issues to appreciate and do some practical design work in this area.
