OVERVIEW

The course covers the main issues related to Human-Computer Interaction. In particular, the course provides the theoretical principles, models and methodologies for the implementation of interactive systems based on computer and customized to the needs of the users. Moreover, the execution of monographic projects makes it possible to acquire operational skills for the design and implementation of interactive systems for data input/acquisitiona, learning, communication.

EXAMS

EXAM DESCRIPTION

The exam includes a written test and the execution of a monographic project on the design and development of interactive systems for the introduction / acquisition of data, learning, or communication. Alternatively, only attending students can replace the written test with a continuous and detailed assessment during the lesons of the level of knowledge acquired.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The exam assesses the acquisition of the concepts contained in the course, the ability to apply these concepts to the design, implementation and evaluation of an interactive system for data input/acquisition, learning, communication. The exam is not passed when the theoretical and practical training objectives have not been achieved; in this case the student is invited to deepen the study and to use further explanation by the teacher concerning the theoretical or practical contents of the course.
