Introduction to computer-supported collaborative work, workflow automation, and meeting augmentation. The course deals with models, enabling technology, systems, and applications.

Examines usability in the software development process with an emphasis on usability, requirements, methodology, design, and evaluation.

Building on work from the previous semester, I expanded my question and answer application, adding features to support different use cases. I created a version intended to improve communication between pediatric asthma patients and their physicians. I also developed another version for more general uses on which I performed an informal user study.

Introduction to psychological research methods within the human-computer interaction domain.

Explores visual media through a mutually instructive and integrated interplay between critical analyses and the creation of digital artifacts.

I studied participatory and crowdsourcing applications for mobile platforms with a focus on question and answer (or polling). I designed and developed a basic HTML5 polling application for the GTmob platform.

Multidisciplinary teams develop innovative convergent applications with a focus on end-to-end prototypes, commercial viability, and user experience.

Focused coursework in user experience design, Java & mobile development, and evaluation for tangible tabletop computing applications. Special emphasis is placed on scenarios for public engagement and news broadcast using a tabletop interface in a news studio environment.

Investigates the infrastructure required to develop mobile and ubiquitous computing applications and establishes major research themes and experimental practices.

Basic methods used to study human-machine systems including both system analysis and human performance evaluation techniques. These methods will be applied to specific systems.

Describes the characteristics of interaction between humans and computers and demonstrates techniques for the evaluation of user-centered systems.
