This graduate course is intended to provide an in-depth
understanding of the intricacies of user interface design, with a special
orientation toward mobile devices. Topics include screen design for various
kinds of user input, design of on-screen controls, input from other sources
such as speech and touch, and the use of mobile device sensors. On the
output side, we will cover various forms of user feedback, including display
of information, sound, and haptic feedback. You will be expected to be
competent in the Java programming language. Sections 015 and
022 are exactly the same material, despite the slightly different names in
Coursebook. Caution: If you are considering this only to learn Android or mobile apps, look elsewhere, such as one of the workshops. This course covers topics in cognitive psychology and design principles and is not an exhaustive course in Android programming. We will not cover such topics as SQLite and other "back-end" Android APIs. |
