Delve into Human-Computer Interaction, learn user-centered design principles, build interactive interfaces, and evaluate models to create compelling user experiences and effective computing technologies.

Introduction to Human-Computer Interaction.png

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is the study of the interaction between humans and computers and the design of computing technologies. It overlaps user-centered design, user interface design, and user experience design.

In this course, you will take a deep dive into HCI, so you can create designs that provide a fantastic user experience. More specifically, you learn the rules and principles behind the good and bad design as well as how to use design models to build interactive interfaces. In the latter half of the course, you’ll learn how to evaluate different models and how HCI is used in the real world.

Whether you are new to HCI or a professional, by the end of the course you will have a clear understanding of what it means to be a user and how to implement user-centered design for the best possible results.
