Course Description:
The course examines a variety of multimedia products, selected theory and research in interactive multimedia, human computer interaction (HCI), cognitive psychology and learning. Learning outcomes center around selected readings, class discussion, multimedia production, and collaboration as a member of a student design team in the production of a goal-oriented multimedia product. Emphasis is placed on user-centered design, involving end users throughout the design, development, and evaluation of multimedia programs as well as the integration of research findings into design and formative evaluation (usability testing).
