Rochester Institute of Technology - Coursework Advanced Certificate in Interactive Multimedia Development	Foundations of Human-Computer Interaction:	Downloadable Files:
	Human-computer interaction (HCI) is a field of study concerned with the design, evaluation and implementation of interactive computing systems for effective human use and with the study of major phenomena surrounding them. This course surveys the foundation concepts and major issues of the HCI field including: cognitive psychology, human factors, interaction styles, user analysis, task analysis, interaction design methods and techniques, and evaluation. The primary focus of this course will be on the users and their tasks.

List of Courses:	User-Centered Design Methods:
Foundations of Human- Computer Interaction: User-Centered Design Methods: Usability Engineering: Usability Testing: Web Site Design and Implementation: Programming for Information Technology I: Fundamentals of Web-Based Multimedia: Web Site Design and Implementation:


	This course will focus on the major user-centered design methodologies used in the development of applications and environments. Topics include: evolution of software design methods, emergence of user-centered design, and key concepts and attributes of contextual, scenario-based, and performance-centered design. Case studies will be used to illustrate the different design methods. Software design projects will be required.
