ONEONE Introduction

Unit overviewWelcome to ICT325, Human-Computer Interaction. This unit examines human-computer interaction (HCI) issues relevant to the design and evaluation of information systems, multimedia and World Wide Web sites. It covers user interface design and evaluation, and also includes consideration of cultural, disability and computer supported collaborative work aspects of HCI. The unit emphasises the importance of the determination of user's requirements and the participative design of interaction scenarios to match their needs. It includes consideration of the contribution of other disciplines (for example, psychology) to an understanding of effective design of HCI.

University policy on assessmentAssessment for this unit is in accordance with the provisions of Degree regulations 40–48. Check these in the current Murdoch University Handbook and Calendar or http://www.murdoch.edu.au/admin/legsln/regs/bachelor.html#assessment

Assessment roles and responsibilitiesPlease refer to the University Policy at: http://www.murdoch.edu.au/vco/secretariat/admin/codes/assessapp1.html

Honesty in assessment and avoiding plagiarismFor guidelines on honesty in assessment including avoiding plagiarism, seehttp://www.murdoch.edu.au/admin/discipline/

The University regards most seriously any acts of dishonesty relating to assessment. Cheating includes plagiarism, unauthorised collaboration, examination misconduct and theft of other students' work. Acting unfairly or dishonestly in assessment is defined as misconduct under the Discipline Statute, and depending on the seriousness of the case, can lead to a requirement to undertake additional work, failure in a unit or in part of it, suspension from the University or even permanent expulsion from the University. The University regards any form of cheating as a serious matter of academic dishonesty which threatens the integrity of the assessment processes and awards of the University, to the detriment of all other students and graduates of the University.Plagiarism constitutes using the work of another without indicating by referencing (and by quotation marks where exact phrases or passages are borrowed) that the ideas expressed are not one's own. Students can use the ideas and information from other authors, but this use must be acknowledged. It is also not acceptable to submit an assignment which is simply paraphrasing of extracts from other authors: the work submitted must include some intellectual contribution of the students' own. The Foundation Units in particular assist students in identifying plagiarism, which may be an acceptable practice elsewhere but is not acceptable within universities.

Page 16: Course Information Template - Murdoch Universityftp.it.murdoch.edu.au/units/ICT325/2004 Semester 2/Unit I…  · Web viewUser Interface Design 19. Usability Evaluation 20. Multimedia

NOTE: SPECIAL CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN REGARDING ANY MATERIAL COPIED FROM WEB SITES. IT MUST BE FULLY REFERENCED (INCLUDING DATE & URL) AND QUOTATION MARKS USED, WHERE APPROPRIATE, AS FOR OTHER TYPE OF REFERENCE MATERIAL.

Resubmission of previously marked work – the submission of the same piece of work for assessment in two different units by the student author - is not acceptable practice if it is not acknowledged.Unauthorised collaboration ('collusion') constitutes joint effort between students, or students and others, in preparing material submitted for assessment, except where this has been approved by the Unit Co-ordinator. Students are encouraged to discuss matters covered in units, but when writing an assignment, computer program, laboratory report or other piece of assessed work, the recording and treatment of data and the expression of ideas and argument must be the student's own.

Non-Discriminatory LanguageThe University is committed to the use of non-discriminatory language in all forms of communication. Students and staff should avoid the use of discriminatory language in units and in all other activities within the University. This applies to both oral and written communication.Discriminatory language is that which refers in abusive terms to gender, race, age, sexual orientation, citizenship or nationality, ethnic or language background, physical or mental ability, or political or religious views, or which stereotypes groups in an adverse manner that is not supported by evidence. This is not meant to preclude or inhibit legitimate academic debate on any issue; however the language used in such debate should be non-discriminatory and sensitive to these matters.

Important DatesNote that there are some important dates that may affect your assessment, including: Last day to withdraw without incurring HECS liability Last day to withdraw without result appearing on academic record. Last day to withdraw for a Withdrawn (WD) result (after which a Fail (N) will be

recorded against results. For important dates in the handbook, see http://wwwoss.murdoch.edu.au/timetables/

FOURFOUR Assessment details

Assignment cover sheetsAll assignments (and Reflective Journal entries) submitted must use a standard cover sheet available at: http://online.murdoch.edu.au/ or ftp://ftp.it.murdoch.edu.au/pub/units/ICT325/

Reflective JournalsThis assessment task is designed to give you experience in critically reviewing and recording your thoughts about material from a variety of sources. As information systems analysts (or multimedia developers) it is important to reflect (think critically) about what you do. Recording your thoughts (e.g. through the course of a project) can be very helpful. The reflective journal is designed to give you experience in this technique. It is also intended to encourage you to keep up to date with the set readings and visits to appropriate websites.The entries in the journal should not be just summaries of the lecture notes or readings. What is required are your reactions to the material in the Reader and how the material relates to other material in the Reader and relevant experiences of your own, i.e. comparisons, supporting themes, disagreements, etc. You might also want to include definitions of unfamiliar terms and useful quotes.Source material for your thoughts, and hence comments, can include: the lecture notes; set readings; the textbook and other texts; websites; readings from other units; project activities; user interfaces you use; TV programs, newspapers, magazines and other media relating to IT; and anything else which you can meaningfully relate to the topics of this unit.

What to submitYou are to include in your journal entry for each topic: A standard cover sheet A 1000-word (minimum) reflective journal for each topic, and At least three websites that you have visited, which relate directly to the material for

that topic. For each website: Record the URL Very briefly summarise what is in the site, and Comment on your reactions to it. There are many sites, and sites summarising sites - you may well find ones not on

the website list provided - please report their URLs so that the list can be improved. Also please report if a listed site no longer exists.

You can also include graphics if you wish, in addition to the text.
