Computers are a ubiquitous part of many interactions in our lives, from the mundane everydayness of light switches and &#8220;smart&#8221; vending machines to entertainment and education to sophisticated instruments and complex energy and defense systems.\u00a0<\/span>In this course, we will challenge you to broaden your grasp of what a user interface can and should be, and try your hand at doing better yourself. It is a fast-paced, hands-on, project-based experience that will challenge many of your ideas of what computer science is and can be. It is designed around active lecture sessions supported by readings, working classes, and team projects, where students practice and explore the concepts introduced in lecture, and go well beyond them to learn and apply HCI techniques that build into group projects. More specifically, the course adopts a human-centered design (HCD) approach and teaches a highly iterative process called design thinking. The design thinking process draws heavily on the fundamentals of human-computer interaction (HCI) methods. I also cover design methodologies, evaluation methodologies (both quantitative and qualitative), human information processing, cognition, and perception.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several pop quizzes, one midterm exam, deliverables for one semester-long project, and a final demo session to showcase working demos of the projects. We will provide plenty of in-class time and working classes for the students to work on their team projects. No prerequisite is required.<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Course Origins<\/strong><br \/>This course was originally developed and taught by <strong>Prof. Joanna McGerener<\/strong> and <strong>Dr. Leila Aflattony<\/strong> at\u00a0University of British Columbia\u00a0 (UBC) as a new course in HCI on the<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/cpsc544\/home\/\"> Fundamentals of Designing Interactive Computational Technology for People<\/a> (DFP).<\/p><p><strong>Textbooks<\/strong><br \/>Survey and research articles will be the primary text for the course, chosen from a collection of readings. There is no textbook required.<\/p><div title=\"Page 2\"><h4 style=\"color: #000000;\">University policies and information<\/h4><div>\u00a0<\/div><p><b>Accommodation Statement<\/b><br \/>The University of Massachusetts Amherst is committed to providing an equal educational opportunity for all students. If you have a documented physical, psychological, or learning disability on file with Disability Services (DS), you may be eligible for reasonable academic accommodations to help you succeed in this course. If you have a documented disability that requires an accommodation, please notify me within the first two weeks of the semester so that we may make appropriate arrangements.<\/p><p><strong>Academic Honesty Statement<\/strong><br \/>Since the integrity of the academic enterprise of any institution of higher education requires honesty in scholarship and research, academic honesty is required of all students at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Academic dishonesty is prohibited in all programs of the University. Academic dishonesty includes but is not limited to: cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, and facilitating dishonesty. Appropriate sanctions may be imposed on any student who has committed an act of academic dishonesty. Instructors should take reasonable steps to address academic misconduct. Any person who has reason to believe that a student has committed academic dishonesty should bring such information to the attention of the appropriate course instructor as soon as possible. Instances of academic dishonesty not related to a specific course should be brought to the attention of the appropriate department Head or Chair. Since students are expected to be familiar with this policy and the commonly accepted standards of academic integrity, ignorance of such standards is not normally sufficient evidence of lack of intent (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.umass.edu\/dean_students\/codeofconduct\/acadhonesty\/\">http:\/\/www.umass.edu\/dean_students\/codeofconduct\/acadhonesty\/<\/a>).<\/p><p><strong>Inclusivity Statement<\/strong><br \/>In this course, each voice in the classroom has\u00a0something of value to contribute. Please take care to\u00a0respect the different experiences, beliefs, and values expressed by the students, faculty, and staff involved in this course. My colleagues and I support UMass\u2019s commitment to diversity, and welcome individuals regardless of age, background, citizenship, disability, sex, education, ethnicity, family status, gender, gender identity, geographical origin, language, military experience, political views, race, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and work experience (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cics.umass.edu\/about\/inclusivity-statement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cics.umass.edu\/about\/inclusivity-statement<\/a>).<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1812\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Schedule<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1812\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1812\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 901px;\" border=\"1\"><tbody><tr style=\"height: 27px;\"><td style=\"width: 7.25207296849088%; height: 27px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Week<\/strong><\/span><\/td><td style=\"width: 14.555555555555559%; height: 27px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Date<\/strong><\/span><\/td><td style=\"width: 41.024046434494196%; height: 27px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Topics and Readings<\/strong><\/span><\/td><td style=\"width: 12.83057669708851%; height: 27px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Lectures<\/strong><\/span><\/td><td style=\"width: 24.337748344370862%; height: 27px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Deliverables<\/strong><\/span><\/td><\/tr><tr style=\"height: 10px;\"><td style=\"width: 7.25207296849088%; height: 37px; text-align: center;\" rowspan=\"2\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">1<\/span><\/td><td style=\"width: 14.555555555555559%; height: 10px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">\u00a0Tues- Sept 3<\/span><\/td><td style=\"width: 41.024046434494196%; height: 10px; text-align: left;\"><p><span style=\"color: #ff6600; font-size: 12pt;\"><b><strong>Course Overview and Logistics-intro to Design Thinking<\/strong><\/b><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Reading #1.<\/strong>\u00a0Norman, Donald A., Chapter 1.

Examples of potential technologies are mobile applications, online platform, interactive 2D interfaces, interactive 3D devices, and so on. Your team will choose a topic from the list provided below which will seed your project. You will identify a clear problem to be addressed (or potential design opportunity), and will then create a working prototype that meets their needs, which you will evaluate. Following the design thinking process, there are approximately 6 project milestones, as well as a final demo session to showcase your working prototypes. Meeting the project milestones is crucial in completing the project successfully.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>Team formation:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The first step in the research project is to form a team. There is\u00a0<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">not<\/span>\u00a0a lot of time for this, so you will need to move fast. You are free to work with whomever you choose, but you should strive for as multi-disciplinary a team as possible. Your team will choose a project topic listed in the project description. Groups will be set up for each team in Piazza. Once your team is formed, you will need to complete a team contract and submit it to <\/span>gradescope<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">.

In addition, you will develop a persona (or personas), which is a model of a user that focuses on the individual\u2019s characteristics and goals when using an artifact. The personas should be based on thoughtful analysis of data you\u2019ve collected through research you\u2019ve completed with your participant groups.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Ideate<\/span>\u00a0You will develop a conceptual design of your potential interactive computational system, considering your participant group requirements. You need to submit a design requirement document with detailed description of a system to be developed. This stage provides source material for building prototypes and innovative solution to the problem. Ideation is about incorporating volume and variety in concept generation through visual representations. So you need to sketch some ideas that represent the interactive computational system visually.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Prototype\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prototype creation requires an iterative process and can be created for the early exploration phase (low-fidelity artifact) or the final phase (high-fidelity artifact). At this stage, you will create a working prototype or prototypes (first iteration) of a computational technology according to your concept. The prototype(s) of your concept needs to detail how the concept will be experienced and used. The medium of the mock-up depends on the solution and may show an interface or a physical\/tangible 3D mock-up.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Test<\/span>\u00a0You will test your prototype(s) with participants who are representative of the group of people you are designing for. There will be relatively informal usability testing, after which you may improve and refine further the prototype, followed by more formal experimental design, running the experiment, and doing the analysis. You will need to write up the experiment report, which includes the analysis, discussion and conclusions.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ol><p style=\"caret-color: #919191; color: #919191; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #000000;\">Submission:\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"caret-color: #919191; color: #919191; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Details and templates are provided in individual milestone descriptions.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intro to HCI Fall 2019 *Note that the course schedule is tentative.* Lecture slides will be posted after each class.
