An introductory course on Human–Computer Interaction: Programme, bibliography, practical classes and assignments

Abstract

As computing curricula have evolved, human–computer interaction has gradually become part of many of them, and the recent ACM/IEEE report on the core of computing science and engineering includes human–computer interaction as one of the fundamental sub-areas that should be addressed. However, both technology and human–computer interaction are developing rapidly, thus a continuous effort is needed to maintain a programme, bibliography, and a set of practical assignments up to date and adapted to the current technology. This paper briefly presents an introductory course on human–computer interaction offered to electrical and computer engineering students at the University of Aveiro.
