Overall Educational Objective	To learn to understand the principles and characteristics of human-computer interaction, such as direct manipulation, usability affordances, and interaction design heuristics; the workflow for designing and evaluating user-centered designs, from need-finding to prototyping to evaluation; the current state of research and development in human-computer interaction, such as augmented reality, wearable devices, and robotics.
Course Description	This course is an introductory course on human-computer interaction. It does not presuppose any earlier knowledge of human-computer interaction, computer science, or psychology. The class covers three broad categories of topics within human-computer interaction: (a) the principles and characteristics of the interaction between humans and computers; (b) the techniques for designing and evaluating user-centered systems; and (c) current areas of cutting-edge research and development in human-computer interaction.
Course Description in Turkish	Bu ders insan-bilgisayar etkileşimi üzerine bir giriş dersidir. İnsan-bilgisayar etkileşimi, bilgisayar bilimi veya psikoloji ile ilgili daha önceki herhangi bir bilgiyi varsaymaz. Ders, insan-bilgisayar etkileşimi içerisinde üç geniş kategorideki konuyu kapsar: (a) insanlar ve bilgisayarlar arasındaki etkileşimin ilkeleri ve özellikleri; (b) kullanıcı merkezli sistemleri tasarlamak ve değerlendirmek için kullanılan teknikleri; (c) insan-bilgisayar etkileşiminde günümüzdeki en ileri araştırma ve geliştirme alanları.
