課程概述 Overview

Human-Computer Interaction (LIS5066) is an elective course for senior and graduate students of information science majors. This course studies the theory, research, and practices of CHI for all manners of information devices, systems, and environments under the specific context of informatics. It is concerned with the human factors in designing for user experiences. A semester-long interaction design project will be adopted to guide and anchor students’ learning activities and outcomes within the course. 

學習目標 Objectives

• Knowledge of the concepts and ideas of human-computer interaction
• Knowledge of human information behaviors involved with CHI
• Knowledge and skills of interaction design 

課程要求 Requirements

This semester's learning activities will focus on the visually impaired users and their experiences with augmented reality technologies. We will also introduce and experience the idea of designing with AI. Students will form small groups of 6-8 people to study relevant literature and system examples and develop prototypes and user profiles by combining the design and evaluation methods they have learned.

• Participation (20%)
• Term Project (80%)

• Observation and Design problem statement (30%)
• Literature and case review (30%)
• Data collection and analysis (20%)
• Design and Development (20%)
