My Teaching
My goal is to deliver engaging and interesting classes that encourage students to actively participate and think deeply about the subject matter. Below are some details about courses I have taught at RIT.
2024
Fall
HCIN-794 MS HCI Capstone Proposal.
This course guides students in defining a proposal for a capstone project to apply the theories and methodologies to a problem in the HCI domain.
Spring
ISTE-798 Future Interactions.
This is a course I proposed and designed. This course focuses on developing the skill for designing accessible and usable technology that support user goals in various contexts. Students will learn about interaction throughout the years. In-class activities and assignments will encourage students to reflect on both historical and current trends to identify what future devices and interactions might look like and how to design for those future interaction scenarios.
2023
Fall
HCIN-600 Research Methods.
This course introduces students to the world of conducting research in HCI from reviewing the literature to qualitative and experimental study design, as well as, learning how to appropriately analyse the data being collected.
Spring
ISTE-266 Design For Accessibility.
This course covers the design, evaluation, and use of accessible systems for disabled people and older adults. Students will learn about accessible design, how to interpret accessibility laws and use best practice accessibility guidelines, and how to identify user needs to build accessible systems.
2022
Fall
HCIN-620 Information and Interaction Design.
This course focuses on current design practices to facilitate perception and understanding of information through representation and organization, as well as specifying the appropriate mechanisms for accessing and manipulating task information. Students explore various design patterns and gain prototyping experience through a semester-long group project.
Spring
HCIN-630 Usability Testing.
This course is centered around projects from industry clients. Each student team will work with a client to formally evaluate the user interface of a system or website. During the course, students will also learn about usability evaluation goals, recruitmenting appropriate users, designing evaluations tasks, analysising findings, and documentation results.
2021
Fall
HCIN-600 Research Methods.
This course introduces students to the world of conducting research in HCI from reviewing the literature to qualitative and experimental study design, as well as, learning how to appropriately analyse the data being collected.
Spring
HCIN-700 Current Topics in HCI.
This course explores the most up-to-date research coming out of the field of HCI with each week focusing on a theme such as Gender and Diversity, User Interface Software and Technology, Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied Interaction, and Situationally Induced Impairments and Disabilities.
2020
Fall
HCIN-610 Foundations of Human-Computer Interaction.
This course first uncovers what it means to be human and how design can take advantage of how we perceive our surroundings to improve the user experience of interacting with digital spaces. The course then dives deeper into various interaction design methods, techniques, and evaluations.
