Study Guide

Objective

Students will learn how to evaluate different user interfaces and how to identify user groups. They will also learn how to design a user interface according to human-centred design processes and the principles of the sustainable development, and how to create a user interface using SCADA software.

Content

Evaluating user interfaces, identifying users, designing user interfaces, visually designing user interfaces, cognition and SCADA software.

Materials

Lecture material, lecture demonsrations, assignments, product and programming manuals of various manufacturers.

Teaching methods

Lectures and exercises.

Student workload

Lectures and exercises 40 h, self-study 40 h.

Evaluation scale

1-5

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

The student knows and commands the basic structure of the user interfaces in the one to be been satisfied with numbers and can tell its opinion on the function of the user interface. Furthermore, he can make the user interface according to the basic rules.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

The student knows well the basic concepts which are related to the user interface, the rules and the structure of the functioning user interface. He can create the user interface to the different applications using known programming tools.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

The student knows the rules which are well used in the planning of the user interface and can make user interfaces to the different applications and environments which are in accordance with the rules. Furthermore, he is able to adapt in the solving of questions and problems from many sides of different types the matters learned by him.
