Course objectives
In Human-computer interaction course you will discover what usable product means to the user? How to make your design effective, efficient and satisfying for users in their contexts. We will talk about usability principles, process of interaction design itself and we will dive into several evaluation methods.
After the course, you will be able to analyze your users, their needs, tasks and their context using various task analyses tools. You will be familiar with rapid prototyping techniques using paper and digital mockups in order to quickly come up with your ideas. You will be able to critically evaluate your design and gather relevant feedback from your users.
Class is lectured in Czech. Concrete study plan will be discussed on first lecture.
