User Experience Part I

Lec 80 selected

Understanding of theories and practices of human computer interaction is a key determinant of organizational success. This course explores how technology affects human use, and examines the process from conception of an idea to design and evaluation, with a particular emphasis on Web-based activities. The course discusses individuals’ and groups’ information seeking behaviours in public and private contexts, and the theories and models of information seeking behaviour that contribute to a nuanced understanding of the user experience.
