Brief Course Description

This seminar will address research and development issues related to the design and evaluation of user interfaces that support information seeking and information use. The seminar will investigate the nature of interactivity, user needs assessment, query and browse interactions, iterative design and maintenance, and usability testing. Students will read/view and discuss documents (text and video) and work in a small team to conduct a usability study of an existing interface.

The Fall 2011 seminar is problem-based, rooted in ongoing work and specific research interests. Some themes and problem areas this semester will include: search user interfaces and collaborative search; management of personal digital collections and personal digital information; computer-supported cooperative work; voice user interfaces; ubiquitous computing, games, and multimedia systems. The seminar will have a special focus on collaborative information seeking and file synchronization and sharing models and interfaces.

Assignments and Evalution

Semester project (35%) – students will work on a group project with deliverables throughout the semester

Individual assignments (35%) – there will be seven individual assignments during the semester, students may skip two of their choice

Interface “tours” (10%) – each student will present a walkthrough of an “innovative” user interface and lead an in-class discussion about it

Discussion leader (10%) – each student will be the discussion leader for an article twice during the semester

Participation (10%) – this is a seminar course, so reading and contributing to the class discussion is important
