The evolution of the web towards social web has enabled new forms of interaction in the private as well as in the business sphere, where users are invited to contribute, share knowledge and collaborate.

The course provides students with an overview of tools and techniques for web interaction and involves analyses of websites and networks as well as design and linguistic and cultural planning of interaction projects emphasizing cultural usability, user-centric aspects and the needs of business environments. The course introduces a broad scope of issues, topics, paradigms within and beyond the scope of Human-Computer Interaction complemented with practical assignments and cases. The following topics are on the agenda: - present the evolution of the web and of the associated technologies - designing for collaboration and communication - the process of interaction design - workflow planning - user modeling and user-centered approaches to interaction design - evaluation frameworks. | |||||||||||||
