1. Introduction to User Interface Design 1.1. What is HCI? Why is it needed? History of HCI 1.2. What is a user interface, and why is it needed? What is its relation to User Interface Design? 1.3. What is Interaction? Norman Model 1.4. What is usability? Differences between usability and user experience 1.5. Hall of Fame / Shame: good and bad examples of user interfaces 2. User Interface Design Process 2.1. What is a design process? Why is it needed? 2.2. Different types of design - fresh design, targeted design, and improvement. 3. Design Process Phases: Analysis 3.1. Knowing the user (needs, problems, characteristics, experience, knowledge, abilities, ...) 3.2. Use cases 3.3. Personas 3.4. Tasks and scenarios 4. Design Process Phases: Design and prototype 4.1. Design Methodologies (User Centered Design, Design Thinking, ...) 4.2. Design Patterns 4.3. Nielsen¿s Heuristics 4.4. Inclusive and Accessible Design 4.5. Design by values 5. Design Process Phases: Evaluation 5.1. Evaluation without users (HTA, GOMS, KLM, Fitt¿s Law, Hick¿s Law) 5.2. Evaluation with expert users (Nielsen¿s Heuristics, inspection methods, cognitive walkthrough) 5.3. Evaluation with final users (usability test, experiments) 6. Human Factors for User Interface Design 6.1. Short- and long-term memory; attention; perception; visualization; hierarchy. 6.2. Design Principles: Visibility, Feedback, Mappings, ... 6.3. Norman Model (from human point of view)

* Lectures: 2 ECTS. They aim to achieve the specific cognitive competencies of the subject and the transversal competencies of analysis and abstraction. * Practical classes: 1 ECTS. They aim to develop the specific instrumental competencies and the transversal competencies problem solving and application of knowledge. * Programming exercises: 0.75 ECTS. Initiated during the practical classes and completed outside of them, they aim to develop the specific instrumental competencies, start developing the specific attitudinal competencies, and transversal competencies problem solving and application of knowledge. * Case study: 1,75 ECTS. Started during the practical classes and completed outside of them, it aims to complete and integrate the development of all specific and transversal competencies with the design and implementation of a case study through group work. * Tutorials: TUTORIALS. Individual or group tutoring sessions organized by the teacher for the students. * Final exam: 0,5 ECTS. It aims to influence and complement the development of specific cognitive and procedural skills. It reflects especially the use of the lectures.
