IT lectures in

Human-Computer Interaction

2000-2001

Available on this page are copies of lecture notes and various other resources to do with the HCI course.

These pages contain Adobe PDF versions of my slides and other resources. They can be viewed on-line or downloaded and printed. To view or print them you need to use the Adobe Acrobat Reader program. If you want to view them as HTML then you can use the Adobe Accessibility tools. We have this installed on most of the machines in the Department. If you have a problem accessing it contact support. If you want to download it yourself you can get it at Adobe's web site. If you print out the notes then save as much paper as you can, for example print them 2-up.
