Human-computer interaction is a discipline concerned with the design, evaluation and implementation of interactive computing systems for human use and with the study of major phenomena surrounding them [ ACM SIGCHI Curricula for Human-Computer Interaction ]. The focus of the current course is to learn diversified domain knowledge of HCI and to work on the practical usability engineering problems. The students will perform Heuristic Evaluation and Thinking Aloud Test on a real website to get hands on experience. At the end, students need to write a brief report about their practical work.
