Aims of the HCI course
Human-Computer Interaction
1. The aim is to aquire basic knowledge,
knowledge, theories,
theories,
and research methods in HCI
2. You will learn several methods for
Intro part I (of II)
Practical issues
i) the design and ii) the evaluation of UIs
3. As you know these methods,
methods, you should be
able to use them in practical UI design

• We may use multimedia tools for teaching.
Hence, PPTs will not cover everything we teach
• Examination will be based on the content of
teaching and exercises, not only on textbook
• Therefore, it is important to attend lectures

What is
HumanHuman-Computer Interaction (HCI)?
User Interfaces (UIs) are the part of
application that allows users
– to interact with computer
– to carry out their task
HumanHuman-Computer Interaction (HCI) consists
of design, prototyping, evaluation, and
realization of User Interfaces (UIs)

Aims of the HCI course
• How to learn HCI
1. The aim is to aquire basic knowledge,
knowledge, theories,

– Understandy theories
– Put these theories into practice:
practice: design and evaluation
• How and where to put into practice
– Useful for your later studies and work in industry
– Also useful for your daily life

2. You will learn several methods for
i) the design and ii) the evaluation of UIs
