Overview of class

This doctoral seminar course aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) theory and research. The primary objective of the course is to equip students with an understanding of seminal HCI work through a combination of readings, videos, interactive demos and discussion. The course begins with a history of both applied and theoretical work in HCI, and then transitions to cover the rapidly changing technological landscape and explore current and future research areas. Topics include interaction techniques, social computing and the social web, context-aware computing, mobile interfaces, GenAI and AI-enhanced interaction, and inclusive design, among other topics. The course is run as a seminar and students are responsible for weekly readings, leading weekly discussions, written assignments, and a final exam.
