CIT 268 - Introduction to Human-Computer Interaction
Inquiry into a wide range of Human-Computer Interaction (HCl) issues ranging from the understanding and advocacy of the user in the development of IT applications and systems to the technical components of design. Topics include foundations of HCl, the nature of the HCl design process, technical aspects and limitations of selected 'technologies' related to HCl, user-centered methodologies for development and deployment, task analysis, ergonomics, accessibility standards, emerging technologies, and principles and methodologies of effective interface design and evaluation. This course will also address appropriate communication skills for effective human-to-human interaction as the foundation for developing effective, user-centered designs. Prerequisite: CIT 168.

Course Modules
In this course, we progress through a series of modules. Students are expected to complete the modules and activities in the order presented. Each module can be accessed from the "Home"
navigation link or by selecting "Modules" in the left navigation bar. In general, most modules consist of
an overview page, module outcomes, readings, presentations, and assignments including quizzes, group, and individual work. Additionally, as needed, supplemental material including links to external sources are also in the modules.
Online Discussions
Some discussion boards and/or collaborative tools will be required. Interacting via online text can be misconstrued.
· Review the discussion rubric before your first post."I agree" is not an acceptable post. Be thoughtful
and reflective.
· Review your text before posting.
· Watch the way in which you post humor.
· Disagree and challenge ideas, don't make it personal.
· Accept disagreement and thoughtfully consider other ideas
· I advise students to view this Discussion Board Etiquette已
(https://www2.uwstout.edu/content/profdev/rubrics/discuss etiquette.html) website for more complete information.
As a student in this course, you are expected to actively participate in online discussions and group projects, as well as other activities required in this course. You are expected to post your ideas and assignments, react to others' ideas, and exchange thoughts with fellow students and the instructor.
Closed Captioning
You may be asked to create a video(s) to post and share your work for others to view and provide
feedback. ALL videos MUST be closed captioned. You may use YouTube but review and make certain the captions are correct.

Required Materials
Required Text(s)
· Rogers, Sharp, Preece, Interaction Design. 5th Edition. ISBN 1119547253
Technology
This course requires access to computers and the Internet. If you have difficulty with your home system, public computer labs are available on campus. No extensions or exceptions will be granted due to
problems with computer access. This includes any lack of access to prepare assignments, email, access to Canvas, or any other online activity.
Additionally, all CIT/CSE courses require a variety of software and tools. Installation and support for these tools may be found in the Computer and Information Technology Knowledge Base 已 (https://miamioh.teamdynamix.com/TDClient/1813/Portal/KB/?CategoryID=16208) .
Activities & Assessments

。 There will be seven small-stakes quizzes that you may use your course materials when completing.
o The quizzes involve T/F, Fill in the blank, multiple-choice, and short-answer response questions. · Discussions
o There are 3 Discussion Boards.
。 The Module 4/5: Dilemma Who is in Control? Discussion spans across two modules.
o Module 3: Discussion - User-Centered Approach offers the opportunity to earn extra credit by posting 3 days before the due date.
· Assignments
o You have 20 assignments in this course that include a variety of research, writing, and concept application projects.
。 The Module 2: Library Usability Observations and Module 7: Universal Design and Web
Accessibility assignments will be Peer Reviewed. You will be reviewing two of your peer's work.
o In the final module, you will collect your best work to update your ongoing Student Portfolio for the program.
Grading
Be sure to examine the rubrics for EACH Canvas assignment. These rubrics should guide you in the right direction and clarify how your submission will be graded.
Determination of Grade
Grade Components
The grades are calculated as a straight average based on the total points earned divided by the total points available in the course. Refer to the grade
(https://miamioh.instructure.com/courses/203097/grades) page for information on all grade components.

Late Submissions
In general, assignments must be submitted by the due date to receive full credit. Late work is accepted only at the instructor's discretion and may not be for full credit. Keep in mind that if you get behind in
your work, it may become increasingly difficult to catch up as many assignments build on previous
assignments. As a result, late assignments may impact your ability to successfully complete the course. Additionally, some assignments require students to work collaboratively to support each other's learning, and therefore submitting your work late will diminish or eliminate the value of that work and affect other
students. Your success in this course is important, consult with your instructor early if you have circumstances or concerns affecting your performance.
Expectations
Students will;
· Attend all scheduled class meetings.
· Check the Canvas class site regularly. You can also configure Canvas to send you notifications when different events occur - click on your name or "Settings" from the top right and then select
Notifications.
· Check your Miami email regularly.
· Submit assignments prior to their due date/time.
· Complete all readings and activities in a timely manner.
· Keep an open mind regarding the material and other people's opinions.
· Notify the instructor if you have any problems in a timely manner.
· Close caption all video submissions.
· Technology problems should also be reported to IThelp@miamioh.edu (mailto:IThelp@miamioh.edu)
Instructor will:
· Check the Canvas class site regularly to monitor course activities.
· Check my email regularly.
· Respond to all emails within 24 hours (response may be slower on weekends/holidays).
· Return all phone/text calls within 24 hours (response may be slower on weekends/holidays).
· Grade submitted items in a timely manner. My goal is that the time needed to grade an item will be
similar to the time students had to complete the assignment.
· Maintain online office hours, see Instructor information above for details.
Resources Policies
Tech Support
I will not be able to assist you with things like troubleshooting Canvas, logging into Canvas, resetting your password(s), etc. You should only be contacting me with course content questions (due dates, assignment questions, lesson questions, grading questions, etc.).
Your first step in troubleshooting any tech problems is to try and figure out the problem yourself (e.g.
restart your computer, or try a different web browser). If you're still having tech issues, contact Regional Technology Services whose information can be found on the MUR Student Resources & Policies已 (http://miamioh.edu/regionals/academics/elearning/current-students/online-essentials/index.html) website .
Artificial Intelligence (Al) Policies
We treat Al-based assistance, such as ChatGPT and Github Copilot, the same way we treat
collaboration with other people: you are welcome to talk about your ideas and work with other people, both inside and outside the class, as well as with Al-based assistants. However, all work you submit
must be your own. You should never include in your assignment anything that was not written directly by you without proper citation (including quotation marks and in-line citation for direct quotes).
If you are unsure where the line is between collaborating with Al and copying from Al, we recommend the following guidelines:
· Never hit "Copy" within your conversation with an Al assistant. You can copy your own work into your conversation, but do not copy anything from the conversation back into your assignment. Instead, use your interaction with the Al assistant as a learning experience, then let your assignment reflect your improved understanding.
· Do not have your assignment and the Al agent open on your device at the same time. This guideline includes avoiding Al assistants that are directly integrated into your writing/coding environment: just as you should not let a classmate write content or code directly into your submission, you should
also avoid using tools that directly add content to your submission.
