MLMI 10 Designing Intelligent Interactive Systems

Aims

This half-module aims to: 

• Provide a basic understanding of design and human-computer interaction theories and methods. 
• Introduce a systematic process for designing intelligent interactive systems. 
• Introduce design tactics for realising effective intelligent interactive systems.

Objectives:

By the end of the module, students should be able to:

• Apply a systematic design engineering process to design an interactive system.
• Apply qualitative and quantitative methods to gain an understanding of users’ needs and wants.
• Understand elementary human behavioural theory, as it applies to user interface design.
• Model user behaviour and understand the limitations and implications of such modelling.
• Understand design strategies for interactive systems that infer or predict user behaviour.
• Understand the role of verification and validation and have basic knowledge of common verification and validation strategies for interactive systems.
