Psychology in HCI - B4M39PUR
Main course
| Credits | 6 |
| Semesters | Winter |
| Completion | Graded Assessment |
| Language of teaching | Czech |
| Extent of teaching | 2P+2S |
Annotation
The aim of the course is that students will master all phases of the research process starting from initial planning up to the translation of their observations into innovative design concepts, so they are able to run applied research projects themselves. Overall the emphasis is laid on practitioner's approach and developing skills needed for adopting these technique in daily design practice across various domains.
Study targets
Students will become familiar with selected psychological topics - mainly from the field of Cognitive Psychology and Personality Psychology that are mostly relevant for designing interactions between humans and interactive systems. Consequently students will be able to understand psychological basis for design rules. Students will also learn advanced methods of surveying their users in order to inform all stages of the design process (so called User Research) and spot opportunities for innovation.
