In the first six weeks of the semester the lecturers and various guests will present on work, particularly as relates to their own research, on a range of HCI topics, as well as some core skills around literature review and user interface evaluation. The second half of the semester is devoted to student presentations related literature review findings and projects.
Careful consideration of the human aspects of computer systems is a major part of both commercial solution development and computer science research. Jim Warren's part of this course looks at visualisation for learning from large data sets and the perspective of the user interface as an intelligent agent, working particularly from his research in health IT. Robert Amor's part of the course investigates current trends with domain specific user interface design particularly for enterprise systems. Beryl Plimmer's part looks specifically at uses and technical infrastructure for pen-based interaction on a range of devices such as digital whiteboards, tablet PCs and PDAs.
