ACIT4045 Projects in Human Computer Interaction Course description

After completing the course, the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student

• can name key anatomical structures and organs in the human body
• can describe where organs are located in relation to each other
• can describe the anatomical structure of organs and organ systems, cells and tissue
• can describe the function of different organs and organ systems in the body
• can describe key biochemical processes in a healthy body
• can explain physiology in the different organs and organ systems, with particular emphasis on the nervous, circulatory and respiratory system
• can describe regulation mechanisms and homoeostasis in a healthy body
• can distinguish between different types of microorganisms’ structures and properties
• can describe how different microorganisms affect health and disease
• can describe preventive measures to avoid antibiotic resistance

Skills

The student

• can apply and disseminate broad knowledge about human anatomy and physiological processes
• can convey knowledge about biochemical processes
• can identify and recognise anatomical structures on the surface of the body
• can collect and assess vital physiological parameters

General competence

The student

• acknowledges the importance of knowledge in the subject for professional clinical practice
• applies fundamental hygienic and ethical principles in patient examinations

• 12 credits overlap with the course PMED1100 Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry
• 12 credits overlap with the course PARA1110 Anatomy and Physiology.

Lectures, group work, seminars, simulation and skills training, written assignments, guidance, multiple-choice tasks, and self-study. Parts of the teaching are organised as flipped classroom. Digital learning resources will be made available in advance.

Parts of the teaching are shared with the bachelor’s degree in nursing.

After completion of this course, the student has the following learning outcomes, defined as knowledge, skills, and general knowledge:

Knowledge

The student has:

• in-depth understanding of the synthesis of user needs, user interface design, and users’ interaction with technologies.
• advanced knowledge within areas in designing, developing and evaluating user interfaces.
• in-depth knowledge about conducting a human-computer interaction project.
• understanding of the importance of different roles in a human-computer interaction project.

Skills

The student can:

• apply human-computer interaction approaches and methods, and design principles in a project.
• conduct a project referring to human-computer interaction life cycle model.
• execute a human-computer interaction project systematically, from identifying user requirements, designing, and developing user interface to evaluations with users.

• work in a human-computer interaction project with group members from diverse disciplines.

General competence

The student can:

• identify issues related to user interfaces and propose relevant solutions.
• reflect on the importance of incorporating universal design, accessibility, and usability in human-computer interaction projects.

• reflect and discuss on the use of different approaches and methods in human-computer interaction projects.

The following must have been approved in order for the student to take the exam:

• Attendance at seminars, 80% attendance of scheduled activities marked as mandatory.
• Attendance at study groups, 80% attendance of scheduled activities marked as mandatory.
• Attendance at simulation and skills training, 90% attendance of scheduled activities marked as mandatory.
• Multiple-choice task, 60% correct answers on digital multiple-choice tasks under supervision.
• Oral presentation in a group, each group is assigned a problem/task in microbiology to present in a seminar

Supervised individual written exam, 4 hours.

Exam in two parts:

• Group project report (two to four members in a group, 4000-5000 words) plus a copy of the individual reflection report. The individual reflection will provide the examiners of the final report with insights into how each student contributed and viewed others’ contributions to the group work. This part counts 85% of the final grade.
• Group presentation for the project (20 minutes for each group presentation followed by a minimum of 10-minute question and answer). This part counts 15% of the final grade.

Both parts must be passed in order to pass the course. An overall grade is given. Students are graded individually.

The group presentation examination cannot be appealed.

New/postponed exam: In case of failed exam or legal absence, the student may apply for a new or postponed exam. New or postponed exams are offered within a reasonable time span following the regular exam. The student is responsible for registering for a new/postponed exam within the time limits set by OsloMet. The Regulations for new or postponed examinations are available in Regulations relating to studies and examinations at OsloMet.

Grade scale A-F.

Grade scale A-F

All answers are assessed by two examiners. An external examiner is used regularly, at a minimum of every third completion of the course. If selecting answers for external evaluation, the external examiner’s assessment of the selected answers shall benefit all students.

Further description of the academic depth and level in the various topics within anatomy and physiology is specified in a document (from NOKUT) that will be available on OsloMet’s digital learning platform at the start of the study.

Detailed learning outcomes and academic content for anatomy and physiology are prepared annually by NOKUT.
