    Week 1: Designing for Human Beings 12.9.2016 ->

    On Monday there is first a course setup session in the morning. We'll introduce the teaching cadre and each week's theme, schedule, grading principles, as well as discuss what interaction design is. Of course everyone will also want to learn who you are, so please prepare to introduce yourself as well.

    In the afternoon, we'll discuss the principles of human cognition and perception, and the link of design rules and guidelines to those principles. Parts of the introduction lecture will be familiar to the students who have read Don Norman's Design of Everyday Things, but there will be other aspects as well, and have illustrating examples from multiple sources, from my own and from literature. The mode of the lecture is meant to be participatory, as most if not all of the students have already strong design background, including understanding of human centred design principles, and have formulated a view of interaction design as well. The lecture puts us on common ground and creates a basic reference framework we can rely on during the rest of the course.

    The rest of the first week is reading material, which the students will turn into lectures that will enlighten us all about an individual subtopic of cognitive principles behind good design. The subtopic for each student will be provided from me during the first lecture. I will be happy to provide personal tutoring during the week, including pointing to sources and sharing my own reference "library", as the student lecture requires some additional references than the generic reading material.
