Dear Students
Welcome to this module on human-computer interaction (HCI). We hope that you will find it
interesting and stimulating.
Please be informed that, with effect from 2013, Unisa offers online tutorials (e-tutoring) to
students registered for modules at NQF levels 5 and 6, that is, qualifying first-year and second-
year modules.
Because this is a fully online module, you need to use myUnisa to study and to complete the
learning activities for this course. Please visit the website for INF1520 on myUnisa frequently.
The website for this module is INF1520-18-S1 or INF1520-18-S2.
Once you have registered for a qualifying module, you will be allocated to a group of students
with whom you will be interacting during the tuition period, and to an e-tutor who will be your
tutorial facilitator. Thereafter, you will receive an SMS informing you about the group to which
you have been allocated, the name of your e-tutor and instructions on how to log on to myUnisa
in order to receive further information on the e-tutoring process. E-tutoring is provided to
students free of charge.
All you need to be able to participate in e-tutoring is a computer with an internet connection. If
you live close to a Unisa regional centre or a telecentre contracted with Unisa, feel free to visit
any of these centres to access the internet. e-Tutoring takes place on myUnisa, where you are
expected to connect with other students in your allocated group. It is the role of the e-tutor to
guide you through your study material during this group interaction. For you to get the most out
of online tutoring, you need to participate in the online discussions that your e-tutor facilitates.
Some modules have a high failure rate; some students even fail them repeatedly. Face-to-face
tutors are allocated to these modules. Furthermore, tutorials for these modules take place at the
Unisa regional centres. These tutorials are also offered free of charge, but you must register at
your nearest Unisa regional centre to secure attendance of these classes.
This module focuses on enhancing the quality of the interaction between humans and
machines. It also focuses on the systematic application of knowledge about human purposes,
capabilities and limitations, and knowledge about machine capabilities and limitations.
The study of HCI is done to determine how we can make computer technology more usable for
people. This requires an understanding of:
