○ About the course: This course examines the concepts of information analysis from a human perspective, focusing particularly on the theoretical models and practical techniques that underpin the field. Sociological and psychological perspectives will be examined in order to develop an approach to the assessment of users’ needs. Users in this course are defined broadly: it can be users of information system, customers of economic goods, audience of mass media, and customers of businesses. In other words, this course is about interdisciplinary communication, teamwork, and entrepreneurship. This course will help students think critically and creatively about how people seek, find, and use technologies and digital media. Technologies in this course are also defined broadly: it can be infrastructure, applications, services and content. We will examine this topic from both theoretical and practical standpoints, and students will carry out field exercises to sensitize you to the challenges involved in user-centered design of products, systems, services and content. You will learn how to observe, analyze, and think about user behavior among a variety of groups, and how to apply that knowledge to the design or improvement of information system and services. This course is useful for various backgrounds of students, and will support your future work in human-computer interaction, human-robot interaction, digital media and system design. 


Thank you.
