ITC504 Interface Useability (8)
Abstract|
This subject provides an advanced study of Interface Design and Evaluation. The subject will look at various contexts that affect interface design and will employ both design and usability principles to evaluate and design interfaces. It includes the creation of usability testing strategies to ensure that both the design and usability requirements are met as well as the evaluation of test results. |
