N.B. the end of the second page says 'see lecture slides' for an example
of navigation diagrams etc. - this refers to 'the big picture - navigation
and dialogue' - (HTML or
PPT (97K)), not the more detailed
HTA and STN diagrams.
first part (group report) due 4pm Monday 5th Nov. 2001 - paper copies
to both Trish in CS and Claire is Psych.
second part (group report) due end week 8 but I'll make this for Monday
3rd Dec, similar to above
the individual critique is due at the same time for MSc students,
but will be a bit later and more extensive for MRes students as the
coursework comprises a larger percentage of your mark (will contact
MRes students separately to arrange this)

there are also chapter-by-chapter
links (not as extensive as I would like)
and also a page of links to other
HCI resource sites
-
- basic UI design
(excluding
event-based implemention)
- this
is a lightening overview of UI design and covers a lot of ground thinly
in HCI book most relevant chapters are 1 and 3
also see my short tutorial article
for Assembly Automation
lots about colour theory at www.colormatters.com

-
- birds eye view
of HCI
- this
was based largely onthe table of contents of Handbook
for Human-Computer Interaction (in press) that the network-based
interaction chapter is part of.
this gives a third-party view of the field (not just mine!) but it
does seem to miss out nearly everything of the actual implementation
stage
the table of
contents of my HCI book (and the book itself) structures the field
a little differently and does include the above, perhaps a more techie/modelling
focus to HCI.
-
- digressions and
live examples ...
- remember
that these are where we often saw HCI analysis in action! I'll try
and get these written up as fast as I can and as completely as I can
recall - please tell me about things I mentioned but haven't included
yet
 the
Excel mode error and analysis
the
HCI book search a case study of designing user value

- Our arch rival ... but very good despite that - darn!
Interviews are really fun. Harder to find things than in our book, but with more in-depth discursive treatment of some topics.
Lots more piccies than we have as well.
