Topics:

Reference -- adapted from ACM (Association for Computing Machinery -- but people can join, too!) is http://wiki.acm.org/cs2001/index.php?title=HUMAN-COMPUTER_INTERACTION

1. Motivation: Why the study of how people interact with technology is vital for the development of most usable and acceptable systems.
2. Contexts for HCI: mobile devices, consumer devices, business applications, web, business applications, collaboration systems, games, etc.
3. Process for user-centered development: early focus on users, empirical testing, iterative design.
4. Different measures for evaluation: utility, efficiency, learnability, user satisfaction.
5. Models that inform human-computer interaction (HCI) design: attention, perception and recognition, movement, and cognition.
6. Social issues influencing HCI design and use: culture, communication, and organizations.
7. Accommodating human diversity: including universal design and accessibility and designing for multiple cultural and linguistic contexts.
8. The most common interface design mistakes.
9. User interface standards.
10. The five interaction styles as espoused by B.Scheidermann.
11. The Object-Action (or visa-versa) model and its applications.
12. The direct manipulation method and its importance to CHI.
