Aanbieding 1 met studiegidsnummer 4018166FNR voor alle studenten in het 2e semester met een gespecialiseerd master niveau.
The course covers the following topics:
The lectures are given in English. Relevant course material (slides) is available on the learning platform. For specific course topics, pointers to relevant additional resources (research papers, books and book chapters, website, specifications, online tutorials etc.) will be provided as well.
For this advanced Master level course, we expect that you have some basic knowledge about human-computer interaction. In case that you should lack that knowledge, we highly advice you to first follow our 'Human Computer Interaction' (1023841ANR) Bachelor course as a "repair course" before following this course.
Knowledge and Understanding:
After attending the course on Next Generation User Interfaces, the student has an understanding of the interaction principles introduced by new devices such as smartphones, multi-touch tables or gesture-based interfaces as well as the theoretical background behind these interaction principles. The student is able to reflect on the qualities and shortcomings of different interaction styles, while placing the user at the core of the interface design process.
Application of Knowledge and Understanding:
The student can apply the theoretical background and interaction principles discussed in the course and create interfaces that go beyond the classical WIMP metaphor. They have knowledge of analytical and programmatic tools for the creation of next generation user interfaces. The student is further able to carry out a practical project focussing on post-WIMP user interfaces.
Judgement Shaping:
The student knows various examples of interfaces that go beyond the classical GUI as well as their related modalities. The student is able to assess the usability and effectiveness of user interfaces by using the tools and principles studied during the course. Based on these tools and principles, the student is further able to match different modalities and interfaces in a given context.
Communication:
The course attendees can express themselves in written and oral form about the subjects mentioned above.
Learning Skills:
The course should give students the ability to understand the possibilities and limitations of next generation user interfaces and to recognise variations of such interfaces. They should further be able to understand and evaluate new developments and technologies in fields related to the course and have the skills to independently study and master these new technologies.
De beoordeling bestaat uit volgende opdrachtcategorieën:
Examen Mondeling bepaalt 40% van het eindcijfer
WPO Groepswerk bepaalt 60% van het eindcijfer
Binnen de categorie Examen Mondeling dient men volgende opdrachten af te werken:
Binnen de categorie WPO Groepswerk dient men volgende opdrachten af te werken:
The final grade is a weighted average. During the semester an assignment has to be done (counts for 60% of the final grade). During the exam period an oral exam covering all the course topics will be conducted (counts for 40% of the final grade) as well as a demonstration and discussion of the assigned project to asses a student's individual contribution. In order to pass the course, the final grade has to be at least 10/20. Furthermore, each individual grade (assignment or oral exam) has to be at least 8/20, otherwise the lower of these two grades becomes the final grade.
In case of an overall failure, partial marks for the assignment, if the student obtains at least 10/20 for the assignment, are transferred to the second session. Partial marks for the oral exam, if the student obtains at least 10/20 for the oral exam, are transferred to the second session. Students may not relinquish partial marks that have been transferred to the second session.
In the second exam period, assignments that were not satisfactory can be reworked and defended again. However, please note that it is not possible to start a completely new assigmnent for the second exam period in case that a student was absent or did not contribute to a group assigment during the semester. Also the oral exam can be redone. The final mark is calculated in the same way as in the first exam period.
