Intended learning outcomes

The course aims to provide knowledge and skills in formal methods in human-computer interaction that are used to model, specify and analyse system properties. It also deepen the understanding of how tools and methods can be used during a development process to ensure that system properties related to the user experience are implemented and preserved.
After the course students will be able to:

Apply formal methods and techniques to model, specify, analyse and design user experience (UX) related to use, context and design of a complex system.
Follow and account for/explain typical processes in user-centered system design.
Argue for the choice of methods, techniques and design solutions and present in oral and written presentations.
Critically review the application of theories, methods and techniques in design of user experience and be able to identify and discern results that are scientifically sound.

Course content

User experience in software engineering
Formal methods for human-computer interaction
Interaction design of complex system
Usability, user-centered design (UCD), user experience and design (UXD)

Teaching and working methods

The course comprises of lectures, seminars, workshops/laborations and three hand-in assignments. There are two individual assignments and one group assignment/project work and they are all reported by a written report. The course runs the entire spring semester.
