Course Description
Selected Topics in Human-Computer Interaction (STCHI) is a graduate course in Interactive Technology at the University of Tampere. In addition, students of the UCIT graduate school can include it in their studies, and students of other universities by agreement with both the course instructor and their advisor.The goal of this course is for the students to learn the state-of-the-art in selected subfields of human-computer interaction. The lecturers are visiting experts. The topics vary yearly.
Each lecturer typically gives a series of lectures (6-10 lectures) as a two-day intensive course. To pass the course for 1 credit point (ECTS point), a student must
- attend two lecture series, and
- write a brief (about one page) summary of each lecture series attended.
The lectures are organized at irregular intervals depending on the availability of visiting lecturers. A student taking this course must therefore be prepared to collect the attendance hours during several academic years.
