Instruction content/structure
  • IoT:
    • Fundamental IoT concepts including sensor types and cloud/fog-computing.
    • Factors driving IoT growth and the industry sectors relevant to IoT.
  • HCI:
    • The evolution of user interfaces and different media-types.
    • Software ergonomics.
    • Psychology of human information processing.
    • Human-centred system development (User-Centred Design) and User Experience (UX).
    • Design principles and their application to input, output, and dialogue design.
    • Evaluation techniques (inquiry-based, inspection-based).
    • Testing (usability test tasks, mental models, think-aloud usability).
    • Human cognition, decision making, and errors.
    • User support, accessibility, and personalisation.
Qualification objectives

Students understand fundamental IoT concepts and the market sectors in which IoT has been successful. Students understand the ergonomic requirements of a user interface and know the basics of Human-Computer Interaction and human-centred system development. Students are able to design usable user interfaces for a variety of device types including personal computers, the world wide web, mobile applications, ubiquitous computing, and the Internet of Things. Students are able to evaluate the usability of their user interfaces using the think-aloud protocol.
