Course Objective

A human-computer interaction (interface) functions at the intersection of machines, people, information, and tasks. Growing emphasis within the computer science community has been placed on the development of these interfaces -an aspect of design loosely termed user friendliness. This emphasis becomes increasingly important as the number of computers in use by non-specialists in the home, workplace, schools, and libraries continues to rise. In fact, it is now generally recognized that the nature and quality of user interactions are considerations that should be integral in the design of software throughout the development process from its initial conceptualization.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Describes the features of the software and interface evaluation.
2   Students will able to create and explain alternative interface examples.
3   Students will able to explain basic informations about different topics such as menu and window structs.
4   Students will able to explain terms of interface design, usability test, usability and software engineering
5   Students will able to define strategies related with interaction process.
6   Students will able to explain the nature of Human-Computer Interaction.
