About this Unit
IT graduates must be able to develop and evaluate software, websites and mobile apps that not only look professional but are usable, functional and accessible. However, the study of HCI is often restricted to its use as a tool in the software development process. This advanced unit also examines HCI as a field of research and how to conduct research into human user factors. Students in this advanced unit will be required to complete a research project and produce a final research report, which is of a standard capable of being considered for publication in a HCI conference or journal.
