Who should attend? |
|
Interaction designers, information architects, product managers and senior
software engineers involved in user interface design part of the software
development process will benefit from this workshop. Others in the IT field,
such as writers of technical manuals and software testers will also find it
useful. The learning from this workshop can be applied to a wide range of
applications such as commercial software, web applications, smart products,
mobile appliances etc.
The ideal team to attend the workshop would consist of people experienced
in a mix of these backgrounds, who can subsequently make an impact on the
processes within the organization. |

Human-Computer Interaction |
|
Human-Computer Interaction design has a high impact on product quality,
end-user efficiency and satisfaction. In contrast, HCI design related
activities take up a fraction of development budgets.
HCI design is a process. Any set of guidelines or standards to interface
design is usually not enough to solve all problems. There are no absolute
answers. A goal-driven, scenario-based design process used up-front can lead
to innovative, high-quality solutions with optimal use of resources.
HCI skills can help IT service companies to move up the value chain and
to maintain an edge over competitors. For companies involved in product
development, it is crucial to develop products that satisfy the needs of
current and future customers.

Goals of the workshop |
| This workshop aims to provide an exposure to the issues
underlying the human interactions with computers. The workshop also
gives an introduction to the principles, followed by practice in process
and techniques for design and evaluation of user interfaces.
After attending the workshop, participants should be able to
undertake design of interactive products. Those who are already involved
in interaction design will be able to improve quality and usability of
the products they develop, and will understand the theory behind what
they do intuitively. Those from software engineering and others
responsible for processes in their organization will be able to make the
development process more user-centered. |
