This study has variously been called interaction design, usability engineering, user interfacing, usability design, user-centred interface design, and so on.
In this activity we investigate what HCI is including:
• the user and the difference between the user model and the program model
• the difference between goal and task based user focus
• usability and user friendliness
• forms of user interface: system and software; allowing for individual differences
• design devices in HCI such as metaphor, idiom and affordance
• user centric design and the design process
• elements of good design; placement, harmony, typefaces and colour.
This unit contains 7 classroom-tested activities to reinforce concepts introduced.
