COURSE
DESCRIPTION
|
|
| This
course is about human-computer interaction (HCI). The emphasis
of the course is on examining and understanding the designs
and strategies for new media. New media in this case is defined
as interactive multimedia and internet technologies. We are
particularly interested in looking at the use of new media from
the perspectives of information design, interaction design,
and interface design. We will also investigate how different
characteristics of gender and age groups might impact the designs.
Developing such an understanding and acquiring such knowledge
will make one better informed in creating effective educational
applications. Through activities such as researching, evaluating,
and developing, students are expected to develop an understanding
of how design principles can be applied to create effective
educational products. The contexts for this course will be primarily
interactive, collaborative, multi-disciplinary, and student-centered.
About 70% of this course will be devoted to researching and
evaluating. About 30% of this course will be devoted to developing.
Macromedia Flash will be the choice software for this course. |
