Module presented in English Module presented online
Co-requisite: INF1520
Purpose: The purpose of the module is to provide students with a basic practical and theoretical introduction to human-computer interaction (HCI) and to HCI as a design discipline, extend their technical knowledge of dialogue styles, equip them with a basic set of analysis and evaluation techniques, familiarise them with current software tools for interactive system development, give students experience in the iterative nature of user interface development. Qualifying students can apply their practical skills and theoretical knowledge to design interactive computer-based products, from the requirements analysis stage through to creating a conceptual model of the system. They can evaluate existing interactive systems and prototypes using a variety of evaluation techniques. This module provides intermediate knowledge, skills and values, which will support further studies and design applications in the sector of Information Systems in the field of Information Technology, as part of the BSc or BCom qualification. These competencies therefore contribute to the development of communities with business support, design, evaluation and research skills.
