inf017 - Interactive Systems (Complete module description)

No participant requirement

Professional competence
The students:

• can describe and explain an iterative process to develop interactive systems.
• can classify a method known from the lecture into that process
• name the basic concepts and characteristics of usable user interfaces
• name and explain established guidelines and heuristics of the user-centered design of interactive systems

Methodological competence:
The students:

• can name and explain methods for context of use and/or user requirements analysis.
• can name methods for the design and prototypical implementation of interactive systems and discuss their advantages and disadvantage.
• can explain established methods for usability testing.
• can evaluate a given user interface with regard to potential usability problems.

Social competence
The students:

• can present solutions to usability problems or results of an usability evaluation in the plenum.

Self competence
The students:

• can accept criticisms by their peer group as valuable contributions to their solutions.

The field of interactive systems deals with the tasks, concepts and technologies of human-computer interaction and its user-friendly and suitable design. The lecture is based on the so-called Human Centred Design Process and includes models of interaction between humans and their environment, iterative design, prototyping techniques, study and evaluation processes. Basic design principles, methods and tools are presented. Practical tasks complete the lecture.
