Models and Experimental Methods in Multimedia Development

The course aims to provide students with enhanced skills in identifying factors that have a bearing on human-machine interaction, especially in terms of putting together a specification of engineering requirements for multimedia projects.
The objective is also that students acquire familiarity with different experimental methods for developing and evaluating user interfaces.
Course content:
-Models for systems development
-Models for user-oriented systems development
-Usability testing
-Prototyping
-Experiments for design development and evaluation.
Practical exercises in a laboratory environment are conducted for both types of experiment. The exercises includes motivating, planning, organising, carrying out, and reporting such experiments.
Particular emphasis is placed on relating experiment set-up to theories of user-oriented system development as well as to produce design proposals (specifications of requirements) based on experimental results.
