Interaction Evaluation

Data is displayed for academic year: 2023./2024.

Lecturers

Prof.
Vlado Glavinić

Course Description

The course continues on the Human-Computer Interaction course, addressing interaction evaluation methods in interactive systems interfaces. Through hands-on independent work, students will master the above procedures by evaluating selected instances of interactive systems within the context of WIMP and post-WIMP interfaces.

Learning Outcomes

  1. master the prominent methods for evaluating interactive systems and apply them practically to instances of such systems for WIMP and post-WIMP environments
  2. select appropriate interaction evaluation methods for target classes of WIMP and post-WIMP interfaces
  3. integrate selected evaluation methods in the design process of interactive systems
  4. evaluate interactive systems basing on measurements, heuristics and prediction
  5. analyze evaluation results and identify key project issues
  6. perform the iterative procedure of user-centered development of interactive systems by refinement according to evaluation results
  7. compare different interactive systems with appropriate evaluation method and classify them accordingly

Forms of Teaching

Lectures

Lectures take place partly live in the classroom, and partly online.

Independent assignments

The course also includes the individual tasks.

Laboratory

Laboratory exercises are held as part of the course.
