Interactive Systems

Aim

The student should after the course be able to:

• define, prioritize, and communicate close to user design goals for interactive systems
• evaluate and argue for a particular design solution among alternatives
• make a design specification for a user interface
• construct an interactive interface prototype in a computer tool
• plan, implement and communicate a usability test Course content Craft: Develop systems to be used by a client (customer).Basic skills in designing effective user interfaces in accordance with prevailing standards and principles.evaluate interactive system usability.

Grades Four-grade scale, LiU, U, 3, 4, 5 Other information Supplementary courses:Development of Interactive Systems, Interaction Programming, Interaction design About teaching and examination languageThe teaching language is presented in the Overview tab for each course. The examination language relates to the teaching language as follows: If teaching language is “Swedish”, the course as a whole could be given in Swedish, or partly in English. Examination language is Swedish, but parts of the examination can be in English.If teaching language is “English”, the course as a whole is taught in English. Examination language is English.If teaching language is “Swedish/English”, the course as a whole will be taught in English if students without prior knowledge of the Swedish language participate. Examination language is Swedish or English depending on teaching language.OtherThe course is conducted in such a way that there are equal opportunities with regard to sex, transgender identity or expression, ethnicity, religion or other belief, disability, sexual orientation and age.The planning and implementation of a course should correspond to the course syllabus. The course evaluation should therefore be conducted with the course syllabus as a starting point. The course is campus-based at the location specified for the course, unless otherwise stated under “Teaching and working methods”. Please note, in a campus-based course occasional remote sessions could be included. Department Institutionen för datavetenskap Course literature Kurslitteratur anslås på kurshemsidan.
