NM3243 User Experience Design [2220]
This is an introductory module to the field of human computer interaction (HCI) design which involves the study, planning, and design of the interaction between people (users) and computers. This module will cover the basics of relevant issues, theories, and insights about the human side, the technical side, and the interaction (interface) between the two. We will be learning about HCI through a combination of lectures, tutorial exercises, and a group project. We will be focusing on user-centered, iterative design. As this is an introductory module, I won't be assuming any prior knowledge about HCI or design. There is also no requirement for programming skills for this module. The project will focus on design and evaluation, not implementation. We will use a range of prototyping tools, most of which will not be technically challenging. Please do contact me if you're uncertain about anything regarding the module.
