Build on your foundational knowledge of Human-Computer Interaction’s (HCI) core principles by learning to design interfaces in the real world. From the investigating user needs to brainstorming potential designs, creating prototypes, and evaluating those prototypes, you’ll learn the four-stage design life cycle. The course will also cover the ethics of human subjects research, critical methods for requirements gathering, and how to brainstorm design alternatives.

This course takes you through lessons 14 through 18 of CS 6750: Human-Computer Interaction as taught in the Georgia Tech Online Master of Science in Computer Science (OMSCS) program. The design life cycle framework will provide the structure for the third and fourth courses in this professional certificate.

Learn the principles of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) to create intuitive, usable interfaces, with established design principles like feedback cycles, direct manipulation, affordances, signifiers, and more. In this course, you’ll take the first steps toward being a solid HCI practitioner and researcher. You’ll learn the fundamentals of how HCI relates to fields like user experience design, user interface design, human factors engineering, and psychology. You’ll also learn how human-computer interaction has influence across application domains like healthcare and education; technology development like virtual and augmented reality; and broader ideas like context-sensitive computing and information visualization.

This course takes you through the first eight lessons of CS 6750: Human-Computer Interaction as taught in the Georgia Tech Online Master of Science in Computer Science (OMSCS) program.

As the exchange of health records and other clinical systems used in patient care become increasingly digital, the focus turns to how this health information can be communicated and shared throughout a patient’s health journey. While often a challenge, adopting health data standards in a comprehensive and seamless manner is key to enabling interoperability. In this course, you’ll discover how data and data sharing (interoperability) standards are interconnected to help achieve a cohesive health system across the entire organization and between electronic health record systems.

Businesses, consumers, and societies leave behind massive amounts of data as a by-product of their activities. Leading-edge companies in every industry are using analytics to replace intuition and guesswork in their decision making. As a result, managers are collecting and analyzing enormous data sets to discover new patterns and insights and running controlled experiments to test hypotheses. This course, part of the Analytics: Essential Tools and Methods MicroMasters program, prepares you to understand data and business analytics and become a leader in these areas in business organizations. It will illustrate the processes of analytics by allowing you to apply business analytics algorithms and methodologies to real- world business datasets from finance, marketing, and operations. The use of real-world examples and cases places business analytics techniques in context and teaches you how to avoid the common pitfalls, emphasizing the importance of applying proper business analytics techniques.
