1 UNIVERSITY OF CRETE FACULTY OF SCIENCES AND ENGINEERING COMPUTER SCIENCE DEPARTMENT COURSE CS-464 (OPTIONAL) HUMAN COMPUTER INTERACTION Course Convenor: Constantine Stephanidis Course Credits: 4 Prerequisite: - CS-240 (Data Structures) - CS-150 (Programming) HY-464: Επικοινωνία Ανθρώπου - Μηχανής Slide 1

2 Human Computer Interaction is the multidisciplinary field concerned with the analysis, design, implementation and evaluation of the user interface of computer applications with which the user may interact, as well as with the issues associated with this interaction Slide 2

3 (a) to introduce fundamental concepts and analyse the issues associated with the communication process between the human and the computer (b) to point out the importance of rigorous analysis, design, implementation and evaluation of the user interface of computer applications, based on a holistic approach on the one hand of the user needs and capabilities, and on the other hand of the application target goals (c) to identify the required knowledge for effective analysis, design and implementation of user interfaces, providing at the same time theoretical knowledge and practice Slide 3

4 The assessment of students who will be taking the course will be based on their performance in the written exams, as well as in the assignments that will be carried out in small student groups The final grade for the course will be calculated according to the following formula: F = 0.5 * W * A where: F = Final grade (0-10) W = Written exams grade (0-10) A = Assignments grade (0-10) A = 0,05*PhaseA+ 0,35*PhaseB + 0,40*PhaseC + 0,20*PhaseD The written examination will take place during the exams period. The course does not require written or oral preliminary examinations Slide 4

5 Project: Develop the user interface of a hypothetical application. The assignment is carried out in the following phases: A. Requirements Analysis (Phase A) B. User Interface Design (Phase B) C. Implementation (Phase C) D. Evaluation (Phase D) Slide 5

6 Each project phase will be assessed after its submission Detailed guidelines and examples will be provided in tutorials which will be taking place before the beginning of each project phase The project will be carried out in small student groups 2 members groups for graduate students 3 members groups for undergraduate students Slide 6
