From the Syllabus

• This course will provide students with a sound
  introduction to the discipline of HCI and examine
  the issues of human factors and the design of
  computer application interfaces.
• We will have a more psychological and social
  focus rather than a technical one.
• It will be organized around a collection of
  readings (gt1000 pages) and real-world exercises
  concerned with applying HCI research to the
  design of computer interfaces.

Student Requirements

• This course has no prerequisites.
• The only requirement is reading (a lot of),

• Students primary responsibilities will be making
  weekly readings, critiquing and analyzing them,

TUBITAK Vizyon 2023 Report

• 1. Kullanimi egitim gerektirmeyen bilgisayarlarin
  gelistirilmesi.
• Bilgi çaginda yasamanin geregi olan bilgisayar
  okur-yazarligi, günümüzde en çok sözü edilen
  yeteneklerden birisi. Genç kusaklar bilgisayarla
  barisik bir biçimde yetistirilecek, böylece
  birçok alanda bilgisayar kullaniminin önü
  açilacak. Ne var ki nüfusu giderek yaslanan
  ABde, ögrenme yetenegi zayiflamis, yasli
  insanlarin çoklugu ve bunlarin BIT olanaklariyla
  örülen yasam tarzlari nedeniyle, bilgisayar
  kullanmaya giderek daha bagimli duruma gelmeleri,
  çözümü ters yüz etme düsüncesini getirmistir
  Insanlar bilgisayara ayak uyduracagina,
  bilgisayarlar insanlara ayak uydurmali bir baska
  deyisle, insan okur-yazarligi olan
  bilgisayarlar yapilmali. Hem yasam düzeyine, hem
  ulusal katma degere katkisi olacagindan,
  bilgisayari akilli kilacak olan yazilim ve
  donanimlarin ülkemizde tasarlanmasi, üretilmesi
  ve ayrica dissatimi hedeflenmektedir. (Sayfa 73)
