Description and objectives

This course introduces the principles of user interface development, focusing on three key areas:

• Design: How to design good user interfaces, starting with human capabilities (including the human information processor model, perception, etc.) and using those capabilities to drive design techniques: iterative design, usability guidelines, interaction styles, and web interaction guidelines.
• Implementation: Techniques for building user interfaces, including low-fidelity and high-fidelity prototypes, and prototyping tools such as the model-view-controller model.
• Evaluation: Techniques for evaluating and measuring interface usability, including heuristic evaluation, and user testing.
