Software Atelier 2: Human-Computer Interaction

This Atelier combines some important ingredients to help students get a better understanding of their future profession as ICT experts. It starts from an introduction to ethics that investigates the many ways and venues ICT can be used maliciously, focuses on responsibilities and proposes ethical solutions. With a renewed awareness of the role ICT plays in everyday life, students can focus on and take a critical approach in assessing what makes an interface usable, used and useful. The course is completed by a practical component: learning how to use Cascading Style Sheets. That provides an additional tool for students to put the theory learned into practice by designing ethical, usable, useful and enjoyable interfaces.
