Course aims
To depict the state of the art in Human-Computer Interactions by critically guiding the student through a selection of recent texts on the subject.
Brief description of the course
Throughout the course students will learn and explore multiple theories and components of trusting technology and its implications in designing safe and trustworthy human-computer interactions. It uses theoretical and empirical examples to emphasise the importance of creating safe and trustworthy human-computer interactions.
Course outline includes four main parts:
- Theories and components of trusting technology from a human-computer interaction approach.
- Current research trends for developing human-centred, trusted, and safe interactions.
- Practical insights on system trustworthiness.
- Designing trustworthy technologies.
