Examines interdisciplinary field of human-computer interaction through a comprehensive content and historical survey. Considers new trajectories of inquiry and how the field merges with others. "Social computing" is emphasized as a central topic. Students across disciplines will find the course foundational for understanding human-centered technology matters, including computer scientists; social scientists; and business and media arts students. Recommended prereq., CSCI 4839 or 5839. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students or Computer Science Concurrent Degree majors only.

Studies recent advances in human-computer interaction through critical analysis of influential papers and self-guided research. Examines new paradigms in input, output, and visualization for technology design and interaction. Considers innovative methods to assess various population design and technological needs. Studies in computer-related fields, social science, business, media arts, and communications benefit learning about human-centered computing research. Recommended prereq., CSCI 5919.
