# ID 405 Human Computer Interaction Design
This is an introductory course about user-centred design of interactive products and systems. The course will introduce some basic theoretical elements of HCI such as Garrett??s layers of user experience, human cognitive processes such as memory, affordances, mappings, conceptual models and heuristics and principles of good design. The course will try to communicate that there are bad designs everywhere ?? why interaction designers go wrong. It will then provide an introduction to the HCI design process, including how to understand users through contextual interviews, how to analyse interviews to identify problems and opportunities, how to define usability goals and user experience goals, how to model users with techniques such as stages of use model and personas, how to explore solutions through scenarios, how to prototype explorations and how to evaluate prototypes for usability. Depending on the interest of the students, the course may cover some related topics such as user experience metrics, integrating HCI in software development and HCI in India.
