Assignment(s)

This topic covers principles of human-computer interaction (HCI), including interface analysis, usability, and evaluation; and graphical user interface (GUI) tools, including toolkits, widget sets, look-and-feel issues, and interactive builders. The working language is Java, although the principles are applicable to any language.

This topic aims to introduce the fundamental concepts, terminology, tools, and applications of human-computer interaction, and graphical user interfaces (GUI) and focuses on the design, evaluation, and development of interactive application software that presents a graphical interface to its users.

On completion of this topic you will be expected to be able to:

Interpret and utilise the language and terminology of human computer interaction (HCI) and graphical user interfaces (GUI)

Determine how human factor principles and system design affects usability

Apply the techniques of heuristic and experimental evaluation of system usability

Design and build simple interactive systems that exhibit effective and efficient user interfaces with appropriate tools

Conduct usability testing and heuristic evaluations on real-world interactive computer systems

Conduct critical analysis of the interface of a real-world interactive application using interface design principles
