Aims of this module

• To understand the key issues in the field of human-


computer interaction.

• To know the approaches to designing and evaluating


systems that emphasise usabilty, that are effective
and that can be cost-justified.

• To be able to design and evaluate interfaces on the basis


of relevant knowledge and appreciation of human
capabilites applied to the tasks we increasingly depend
on computer-based technology to perform.
