CS374: Introduction to Human-Computer Interaction
Designing useful and usable user interfaces is much more than
designing fancy and beautiful things. This course introduces
fundamental principles, techniques, and methods for designing,
prototyping, and evaluating user interfaces. Through this course,
you’ll master the skills to design useful and usable interfaces
that are carefully catered to users’ needs.
This is a highly interactive class: you’ll be expected to actively
participate in activities, projects, assignments, design
critiques, and discussions. There will be no lectures or exams.
Major course activities include:
-
Design Project: Following a user-centered
design process, you’ll build an interactive prototype through a
semester-long team project.
-
Studios: Each week, you’ll share your team’s
design progress in a studio session and exchange peer feedback.
-
In-class Activities: Each class will feature
activities that will help you experience and practice the core
concepts introduced in the course. You’ll also get a chance to
design your own activity that best captures the topic of a
class.
-
Programming Assignments: In a series of web
programming assignments, you’ll learn to add interactivity to a
web interface.
