ING-INF/05 - INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEMS
The teaching is organized as follows:
Fundamentals
Advanced Interaction
Learning objectives
The course aims to provide fundamental notions for the design and evaluation of interactive systems. The course will introduce basic concepts about usability and user experience, human factors, interaction paradigms, usability engineering and evaluation.
These concepts will be applied on standard and advanced interfaces with particular focus on natural interaction in Virtual and Mixed reality.
At the end of the course, the student will have to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the basic principles of user-centered interaction design and will be able to apply them to the design of various types of computer interfaces.
He will be also able to develop prototypes of virtual / mixed reality applications, considering the specificities of the interaction and will be able to analyze the usability and the user experience of both standard interfaces and mixed reality applications.
This knowledge will provide the student with the ability to: i) independently assess the usability problems of the systems and select the correct evaluation methods for each different task; ii) expand and deepen the technical knowledge of the various aspects of the AI study path being able to consider the effects of human factors in the use of technology. At the end of the course, the student will also have to show that he is able to: i) design advanced AI-based interfaces design considering human factors
ii) Exploit HCI principles to make AI system understandable and design visualization tools for AI systems
iii) develop interactive 3D environments for usability analysis, training, interaction in mixed reality.

Type D and Type F activities
Type D learning activities are the student's choice, type F activities are additional knowledge useful for job placement (internships, transversal skills, project works, etc.). According to the Teaching Regulations of the Course, some activities can be chosen and entered independently in the booklet, others must be approved by a special committee to verify their consistency with the study plan. Type D or F learning activities can be covered by the following activities.
1. Modules taught at the University of Verona
Include the modules listed below and/or in the Course Catalogue (which can also be filtered by language of delivery via Advanced Search).
Booklet entry mode: if the teaching is included among those listed below, the student can enter it independently during the period in which the curriculum is open; otherwise, the student must make a request to the Secretariat, sending the form to carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it during the period indicated.
2. CLA certificate or language equivalency
In addition to those required by the curriculum/study plan, the following are recognized for those matriculated from A.Y. 2021/2022:
- English language: 3 CFUs are recognized for each level of proficiency above that required by the course of study (if not already recognized in the previous course of study).
- Other languages and Italian for foreigners: 3 CFUs are recognized for each proficiency level starting from A2 (if not already recognized in the previous study cycle).
These CFUs will be recognized, up to a maximum of 6 CFUs in total, of type F if the study plan allows it, or of type D. Additional elective credits for language knowledge may be recognized only if consistent with the student's educational project and if adequately justified.
Those enrolled until A.Y. 2020/2021 should consult the information found here.
Method of inclusion in the booklet: request the certificate or equivalency from CLA and send it to the Student Secretariat - Careers for the inclusion of the exam in the career, by email: carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it
Warning: to students, who have achieved the B2 level of English in their three-year careers (bachelor), we emphasize the need to replace the full B2 level of English, provided by the study plan, with the C1 level of "computerized" English (prova informatizzata) or to acquire other language proficiency in a community language at least at the full B1 level.
3. Transversal skills
Discover the training paths promoted by the University's TALC - Teaching and learning center intended for students regularly enrolled in the academic year of course delivery https://talc.univr.it/it/competenze-trasversali
Mode of inclusion in the booklet: the teaching is not expected to be included in the curriculum. Only upon obtaining the Open Badge will the booklet CFUs be automatically validated. The registration of CFUs in career is not instantaneous, but there will be some technical time to wait.
4. Internship/internship period
In addition to the CFUs stipulated in the curriculum/study plan (check carefully what is indicated on the Teaching Regulations): here information on how to activate the internship.
