Teaching

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

-Confuzius

Our teaching mission is to train and educate students from a theoretical as well as practical perspective in order to empower their abilities to analyze, design, implement and evaluate interactive systems and devices.

Bachelor Level

We offer the following courses on the bachelor level:

• introduction to human-computer interaction (lecture)
• classic readings in human-computer interaction (proseminar)
• interactive media (lecture + exercises)
• interactive computer graphics (lecture + exercises)
• interaction design (lecture + exercises)
• human-computer interaction project (project)
• human-computer interaction practice (practice)
• current trends in human-computer interaction (seminar)

In cooperation with external design experts, we offer the following additional courses with a focus on design aspects:

• sketching user experiences (general method skills)
• visual interfaces design (seminar)

All of these courses are designed for a bachelor degree in B.Sc. Human-Computer Interaction, but can also be attended by students from other studies such as B.Sc. Computer Science, B.Sc. Software System Engineering, B.Sc. or B.Sc. Business Informatics.

Master Level

On the master level, we offer the following courses:

• user interface software and technology (lecture + exercises)
• interactive game development (lecture + exercises)
• human-computer interaction project (project)
• human-computer interaction integrated seminar (seminar)

The master courses can be attended by students of M.Sc. Computer Science, M.Sc. Intelligent Adaptive Systems, and M. Sc.IT Management and Consulting.
