GUI Design Essentials

GUI / HCI

Serebra Learning Corporation
In this course, students will design and implement a graphical user interface (GUI) for a group of astronomers. These astronomers are dissatisfied with the workings of their computer and want a new way to interact with their system. To meet this goal, they will learn how to apply Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) principles to develop this interface. Following this, students will consider how to use a variety of interaction techniques in GUI design. Strategies for successfully implementing and testing the GUI will then be examined. Finally, various windowing systems and advanced interaction techniques in GUI design will be considered.
