Learning outcomes |
The study of concepts and techniques from the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) paradigm. Principles and guidelines for designing HCI systems are taught, as well as cognitive models and evaluation methods. At a practical level, the design and implementation of graphical interfaces are explored.
In this course unit, the student should acquire a variety of concepts and techniques inherent to the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) paradigm. At a theoretical level, principles, guidelines, and standards for designing HCI systems are taught, as well as cognitive models, design evaluation methods, and aesthetical principles. At a practical level, the student develops skills in the design and implementation of graphical user interfaces (GUI), thereby applying a number of theoretical concepts learned throughout the semester.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The assessment will comprise a written test (PE) about the theoretical subjects, a project or creative work (TC) and a continuous practical assessment (AC) carried out throughout the semester. The latter will count exclusively for evaluation by frequency, not counting for evaluation by exam.
