433-371 Interactive System Design

433-252 Software Engineering Principles and Tools, 433-253 Algorithms and Data Structures and 433-254 Software Design

The objective of this subject is for students to become familiar with a range of technical and human issues associated with the design and implementation of usable interactive systems; and to develop an understanding of the importance of user and system models in system design.

Topics covered will include user modelling, user centred design, user interface prototyping, usability evaluation, data visualisation, human perception, multi-modal interfaces, and environments for building multimedia applications.

Project work (expected to take about 36 hours) during semester and one written examination (not exceeding 3 hours) at the end of the semester. The project work must be completed satisfactorily to pass the subject. Weighting of assessment components will be advised at the commencement of the subject.
