Video-based learning objects for teaching human-computer interaction at different levels

The project explored the development of video-based learning objects to teach human-computer interaction (HCI) across degree levels. Four video-based learning objects were created to illustrate four key HCI themes: Know the User; Paper Prototyping; Evaluation; and Accessibility. These were evaluated by students from undergraduate levels 1 and 3 and from postgraduate level M to assess their effectiveness and appropriateness to each level. Students were offered options of viewing on the web or downloading (to computer or to mobile) via subscription. The results showed that the students across levels found the learning objects useful and that the majority preferred web streaming as a mode of access.
