Catalog Course Description:
The objective of this course is to provide an introduction to the field of human-computer interaction (HCI), an interdisciplinary field that integrates cognitive psychology, design, computer science and others. Examining the human factors associated with information systems provides the students with knowledge to understand what influences usability and acceptance of IS. Topics include the examination of human performance, components of technology, methods and techniques used in design and evaluation of IS, societal impacts of HCI, user centered design methods, and the contemporary technologies used in empirical evaluation methods.
