This course will equip the students with the tools and techniques required to design user-friendly interactive systems, latest theories, principles guidelines in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), User Experience (UX), usability and Interaction Design, Moreover the students will be able to understand  the entire user-centred design and evaluation process; from understanding user needs to design  interactive systems that meet those needs, to evaluate  the usability of those (and existing systems) through user research. The students will be able to explain the capabilities of both humans and computers from the viewpoint of human information processing.  The students will analyze and discuss HCI issues in groupware, ubiquitous computing, virtual reality, multimedia, brain computer interfaces and Word Wide Web-related environments and in Moblie Apps.

Learning Outcomes

1. Students will also have an idea about understanding users’ problems, designing usable user interfaces and evaluating these user interfaces and UX  with end users.
2. Understating the key HCI theories and design principles for designing user-friendly solutions Explain context of HCI and different measures for evaluation. Apply the principles of good design for people from the perspective of age and disabilities. Design UX for social media Applications. Analyze techniques for user centered design for a medium sized software. Evaluate the usability of a medium size software user interface
3. .Ability to observe users in their working environment and analyze their work practices/usage behavior in a creative and critical manner to identify (possible) problems Analyze and identify user models, user support, socio-organizational issues, and stakeholder requirements of HCI system
