| Learning outcomes |
New advanced interaction paradigms require an understanding of human behaviors and the situations in which people interact with computers. In addition to the technology-oriented and demand-oriented approaches, vision-oriented design approaches offer potential for revolutionary solutions.
Theoretical and methodological know-how (T/M):
- Students are able to list the different interaction paradigms of interface design, describe their characteristics and list their advantages and disadvantages.
- Students develop and design project based prototypes for alternative user interfaces in selected application contexts (such as industry, households, public space, etc.) and settings (such as collaboration or human-computer integration, etc.) for a particular user group with selected technology. They know how to develop and apply a catalog of criteria for technologies. In addition, they can self-study the necessary knowledge in order to use the selected technology in the development process. Students are able to master the management of the design process.
- Students can design an evaluation setting a desired solution.
In addition, social and communicative skills (S/C) such as teamwork/willingness to cooperate, empathy, motivation, critical faculty, conflict management, reliability, negotiation skills and self-competences (S) such as learning and motivation, adaptability, decision-making, responsibility, initiative, expressiveness, appearance are trained. |
| Planned learning activities and teaching methods |
Integrated course: 3 THW.
Lectures, project assignments, weekly intermediate presentation with feedback, final presentation |
| Assessment methods and criteria |
- Documentation of the project (contribution to the WIKI course, project diary, project planning, analysis, conception, technical documentation, evaluation concept), presentation (60%)
- Electronic exam (40%)
For a positive grade, a minimum of 50% of the possible points must be achieved across all parts of the examination. |
