Description

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is an evolving field that has revolutionized our interaction with technology over the past four decades. This course aims to equip students with foundational knowledge in HCI and provide practical skills in analyzing user needs, designing interfaces, developing prototypes, and assessing their effectiveness. It emphasizes a wide range of HCI and usability engineering techniques, including Agile Lifecycles, Card Sorting, Persona Development, Sketching and Storyboarding, Prototyping, Accessibility, and Usability Testing. A significant component of the course is a team-based project where students will apply their skills to design innovative applications utilizing emerging Generative AI technologies, such as ChatGPT and Midjourney. This hands-on experience aims to foster a deep understanding of how to create novel, user-centric AI solutions. By the end of the course, students are expected to have developed a comprehensive understanding of HCI principles and practices, and be capable of designing and implementing innovative, human-centered applications that leverage the latest AI technologies.
