Cognitive Science 120 provides an introduction to the field of human-computer interaction (HCI). The goal of the course is to provide an overview of the field and introduce you to the challenges, joys, and exciting potential of HCI. The textbook covers the basics of HCI. Lectures survey significant historical developments as well as selected current research that promises to be influential in the future. Cogsci 120 is not a programming course. The second course in the 120-121 sequence focuses on HCI programming and implementation of web-based systems.

Computers provide the most plastic medium for representation, communication, and interaction we have ever known. This plasticity and the myriad ways computers are now enmeshed in our lives and in the infrastructure of science and society present enormous challenges and opportunities. For good and for ill, computationally-based forms of communication and interaction are changing the world in which we live and the ways we interact. To understand this impact and ensure that systems respect and augment human abilities and enhance communication and social interaction is an intellectual challenge of the greatest importance.

question 9 on the lecture section for midterm 2 study says "Drawing on all of the interface principles we have covered in the course, discuss Ken Hinckley's Passive Real-World Props interface."

Anyone wanna help put together a list of principles? I feel i would recognize them but I'm unsure how to find them in the lecture/book.
If anyone can list even a few I can figure out what it means and finish the list.

what different interface metaphors were used? I'm trying to answer question number 15 of the midterm #2 questions.

Hi, I was just wondering if what differentiates a blog entry from a 3 to a 4?
