The course focuses on the impact of new technologies on Human-Computer Communication and focuses particularly on the effective design of interactive applications through the principles of the science of Human-Computer Communication. The subject of the course covers an interdisciplinary area that deals with the design, evaluation, and implementation of interactive systems in combination with the study of the impact of various social, cognitive and other phenomena and is related to theories from psychology, sociology, computer science, artificial intelligence, the science of perception with the aim of designing effective interactive applications. Students are given the opportunity to examine issues of human-computer interaction that affect the design of interactive applications. 

Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to: 

• Critically understand the relationship between human and computer on the basis of achieving goals and designing effective interactive content. 
• Understand critically and applies the important parameters that affect the effective interaction between user and computer. 
• Design effective interactive content by applying human-computer communication principles, guidelines, methods, and techniques to develop user-centric approaches 
• Evaluate and create interactive systems evaluation studies using appropriate metric systems 
• Be able to explore the effectiveness of interaction in other users' computer and interactive systems. 
• Apply good practices and techniques of interaction and communication with the user or audience groups.
