Course Description

System design based on users' cognitive perceptions of their situations, their work in addressing their situations, information needs, information and source use. Contrast to technology, content or organization focused design strategies. Based on students' system design interestsStudents will learn concepts, methods and tools for designing ethical and equitable human-centered Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for individuals, groups, organizations, and society more broad.

This is an undergraduate level introduction to the field of human-computer interaction (HCI), a very broad interdisciplinary field that draws from several intellectual communities, e.g. computer and industrial design, software engineering, the organizational sciences and cognitive psychology, in order to think about how to design technologies and interfaces that enhance human capabilities. The course is intended to introduce you to the general field of HCI and will cover the discipline widely. For example, we will cover the foundational theories, principles and guidelines that inform design, as well as delve into how these theories principles and guidelines are applied in lab settings, organizations, and in the real world. The assignments and course project will give students the opportunity to practice system design, evaluation, and data elicitation.
