Electronic exam (first exam will be open 1.12-21.12.2018), group assignment and mandatory attendance in half of the lectures and weekly exercises. Mandatory attendance at two of the four lectures. Mandatory attendance at three of the six weekly exercises. Returning a pre-task is required to get the 'attendance' from weekly exercises. |
Learning Outcomes
After the course, the student can - explain the basic terms in the domain of user interface design and evaluation - give examples about different types of user interfaces, interaction types and interaction models - apply usability heuristics and design guidelines to user interface design and evaluation - construct a plan and a prototype for the graphical user interface in collaboration with group - explain the design rationale based on user requirements
