|
| Aim: |
|
| This course
will introduce students to issues in the design, development,
and evaluation of user interfaces for computer systems. Concepts
in human factors, usability, and interface design will be covered,
and the effects of human capabilities and limitations on interaction
with computer systems will be studied. Students will apply the
concepts to the design and implementation of graphical user
interfaces. |
