CHI Course: Introduction to HCI

This course introduces the field of human-computer interaction (HCI). In the first unit, we present the characteristics of the field, discussing concepts and goals that distinguish it from other fields. In the second unit, we illustrate how to understand people, conduct user research, describe interaction, distinguish types of user interface, and design, engineer, and evaluate interactive systems. The course is based on an upcoming book (Introduction to Human-Computer Interaction) by the authors.
