<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The field "human-computer interaction and usability engineering" deals with the user-centered design of human-computer interfaces and different approaches to test and improve usability of software.The course covers topics such as:· Design of user interfaces to ensure high degree of usability. We learn about human perception as well as design guidelines for software development.<br /> · Test the usability of software. The course gives an overview of different ways to test usability such as focus groups, questionnaires, user tests, walkthroughs etc.<br /> · How to integrate usability in the software engineering process. Usability testing occurs during the whole development cycle: from the conceptual design, the development until the testing of the final product. The seminar is divided in a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part consists of lectures as well as student presentations and discussions in class. In the practical part at the end of the semester, we conceive and conduct a usability test. Depending on their background, the participants focus on software from GI Science, application systems or psychological aspects.</span></p> |
