| Prerequisites and co-requisites |
Basic knowledge of HCI is required. This includes basic knowledge of human communication and information processing according to the ABCS concept by Ritter et al. (Ritter; Baxter; Churchill 2014) Ritter, Frank E .; Baxter, Gordon D .; Churchill, Elizabeth F. (2014). Furthermore, basic knowledge of contextual design (persona, scenarios) according to Holtzblatt et al. (Holtzblatt; Beyer 2016) and evaluation (Rubin 1994) (such as paper prototyping see (Snyder 2003) and expert evaluation see (Nielsen; Mack 1994)) are required.
Jeff Johnson (Johnson 2021) and Donald A. Norman (Norman 2013) are recommended for guidance. |
| Course content |
Selected advanced user experience and usability topics in the areas:
- Human decision-making
- Application of Cognitive Science
- UI patterns
- Visualization and animation
- Universal Access
- Designing for security and privacy
- Adaptive user interfaces
- Alternative, pervasive, small and no-display I / O interfaces
- Human AI Interaction (Agents and avatars / Agent Human Collaboration)
- Mobile / ubiquitous / wearable computing
|
| Learning outcomes |
The students know various extended user experience and usability concepts for their field of application, can critically question them and develop application scenarios.
The focus is initially on getting to know (factual knowledge) the specialist areas and their overall location (meta-cognitive aspects of knowledge).
The conceptual knowledge is deepened independently and analyzed in the group in order to then implement the expansion through combination, recoil, variation, transposition, analogy, adaptation and mutation of what has been learned on the basis of research (analysis and synthesis) in individual tasks (level of evaluation and Create). |
| Planned learning activities and teaching methods |
- Critical "reception"
- Discussions and free lectures
- Case study: The students create 10-minute tutorial videos on the selected topic with a written bibliography to which reference is made.
- Reflection: Finally, the students work on a questionnaire on the individual video tutorial contributions from their colleagues
|
| Assessment methods and criteria |
Participation, scientific essay (paper): Problem statement, discussion, paper and presentation (60%) and final synthesis report (40%).
For a positive grade, a minimum of 50% of the possible points must be achieved in each part of the examination. |

| Mode of delivery (face-to-face, distance learning) |
The contents and objectives of the course are prepared and guided by selected contributions (text, sound, image) by the students, analyzed and discussed together. Current contributions are welcome. According to the interests of the individual participants, each participant selects a topic and connects it to the main specialization. In this individual elaboration, the focus is on evaluation and creation based on solid research. |
