Along with advancements in technology, HCI has the potential to transform our experience with machines by creating simpler, more powerful, and intuitive digital experiences.
The Human-Computer Interaction for User Experience Design online short course from the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) helps you reflect on the current state of user and computer interaction. Eight experts from MIT CSAIL have dedicated their research efforts to exploring the ways in which HCI can be enhanced, and they’re opening that research up to you through this online course so you can apply it for improved user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design.
Guided by their industry insight, you’ll have the opportunity to imagine the future of HCI by reflecting on non-traditional interaction, speech recognition, and rapid prototyping, among others. Over the course of six weeks online, you’ll examine real-world applications of technology aimed at bettering UX and UI design, as you take your understanding beyond interface by integrating future-focused HCI into your work.
This program is designed to equip those who are interested in understanding the latest HCI research as part of their professional education, or are looking to explore a new career in human-computer interaction. Industry UX designers also stand to benefit by exploring HCI thinking and real-world applications, empowering them to conceptualize better interface designs.
Explore the possibilities of HCI for the enhancement of user experience as you work through the weekly modules of this online short course.
