Activities

Courses

The course examines human interactions with information technology. Information systems are discussed as a medium through which human behaviors are shaped and expressed.
Examining human interactions with information technology is essential in software development because it helps developers create user-centered, usable, efficient, adaptable, inclusive, and ethically responsible software. By incorporating insights from human-computer interaction research, developers can design systems that enhance user satisfaction, productivity, and overall well-being.
Topics related to current fields of research in information systems will be offered for the project, especially in the following areas:
• Social media and user behavior
• The effects of digitalization on well-being and behavior
• Digital work and the Internet of Things
• Human-computer interaction
• Information security and information privacy
• Managing artificial intelligence
• Implications and consequences of technological change on individuals, groups, society, and socio-technical units
