Human-Computer Interaction |
W 3-0-0 3 |
Developing usable software requires that human factors be considered throughout the design and development process. This course introduces a series of techniques for development and evaluating usable software, and shows how these techniques can be integrated into a process for software development. Alternately offered as CISC 325. (0/0/0/24/12)
