Anotace:

Students will be acquainted with fundamental principles of design and

testing of user interfaces. The lectures will cover the most important

topics in this particular field in necessary extent. This extent will

allow the students to design user interfaces in a given context that

is defined, besides other aspects, by life cycle of software

products. Important part of the course are issues dealing with user

interfaces for special classes of user interfaces (handicapped users,

user interfaces for mobile devices etc.). In the framework of seminars

and labs the students will go through the whole design cycle beginning

with the design of a particular user interface and ending up with its

testing and subsequent evaluation. The testing will be done in

usability lab that is at disposal in the department.
