ITC204 Human Computer Interaction (8)
Abstract|
This subject introduces the Human Computer Interface (HCI) discipline and the design of usable interfaces for computer applications. The subject looks at how to gather user requirements and employ the principles of design in order to successfully develop interfaces that meet those requirements. It includes the evaluation of interfaces for usability using techniques derived from the principles. |
