Upon successful completion of this module, students ...

• have an overview (central concepts, methods, tools) of the field of Human-Computer Interaction in its entire scope,
• can apply this knowledge to evaluate existing systems on HCI-relevant dimensions (e.g. usability) and to (re-)design new or existing systems along these dimensions,
• understand the specific ways of thinking, as well as the concepts and methods from neighboring disciplines - such as psychology, design and ergonomics - and they can apply these on their own for simple questions and are capable of collaborating across disciplines on complex issues.

• History of human-computer interaction
• Psychological foundations (perception, learning, memory, thinking, problem solving, Gestalt principles)
• Standards & laws (ISO-9241, work design, VDU workplace regulations, accessibility, ...)
• Analysis techniques (interviews, questionnaires, observation, ...)
• Design of interactive systems (visions, storyboards, wireframes, prototyping, ...)
• UI design (system paradigms, design principles, UI design patterns, ...)
• Usability engineering (evaluation, usability tests, analysis, ...)
• Intuitive use, user experience, social computing
