HCI 440 Introduction to User-Centered Design

Course Overview

Students learn and practice user-centered design (UCD) towards the development of an interactive computer system. To practice UCD, students learn to apply each of its components, which include user and task analysis, conceptual design, detailed design and evaluation. This course introduces the basics of these practices and sets the context for further studying them in the program's core courses.

Course Goals

By the end of the quarter, students will be able to:

• Describe each of the phases in the UCD process
• Practice at least one method for each of the UCD phases
• Identify goals and problems that each of the UCD phases address
• Articulate principles of UCD and how UCD phases implement them
