User Interface Design
Readings
The lecture will roughly follow the text book by Jennifer Preece, Yvonne Rogers and Helen Sharp: Interaction design. Additionally, you find useful information in papers I will mention in the lectures. The papers are freely available online through the University proxy.
Another (but optional) reference starting point is the book by Ben Shneiderman: Designing the User Interface.
