Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: The aim is to ensure that students understand human-computer interaction (HCI) concepts and learn the fundamental principles in this field. The course teaches user-centered design processes while also focusing on important topics such as usability, user experience (UX), and accessibility. Students learn to understand the psychology of individuals and create effective and user-friendly digital interactions by considering these aspects. Additionally, by grasping communication design related to mobile, web, and wearable technologies, they can acquire the knowledge and skills needed to address user experience challenges in today's digital world.
Course Content: This course covers the theoretical and practical knowledge of human-computer interaction (HCI) services. Firstly, it will focus on the financial development of HCI and its core concepts, followed by an examination of data transfer models and user-centered designs. Students will learn how to analyze user components and develop user-centered solutions. The course progression can include topics such as usability principles, user experience (UX) design, and usability testing. Additionally, subjects like user experience design for mobile and web-based applications, interaction with wearable technologies, and new technology trends (AR/VR) will be addressed. Through studies on ergonomics and human psychology, students will learn how to design effective and user-friendly digital systems. Finally, the course will emphasize accessibility and universal design principles.

Learning Outcomes

1) Understand the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) system and the fundamental theories in this field.
2) Learn user-centered design processes and develop user-appropriate solutions.
3) Comprehend usability principles and the scope of usability testing, enabling them to design user-friendly interfaces.
4) Gain knowledge about user experience design for different devices (mobile, web, wearable technologies).
5) Acquire competence in considering user psychology and behavior to develop designs that make interactive systems more effective.
6) Learn fundamental design principles and apply universal design strategies.
7) Understand how to design user interactions with new technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR).
8) Gain expertise in user experience design for mobile and web-based applications.
9) Learn what AR and VR technologies are, how they work, and how they can be integrated into the field of HCI, including their applications and potential benefits across various sectors (education, healthcare, entertainment, industry, etc.).
10) Explain the psychological foundations of human-computer interaction.
11) Describe the latest trends in human-computer interaction.
12) Recognize the relationship of the HCI field with other disciplines.
