Links to general online
resources for 14.6/14.7. I'd recommend right clicking links/icons and "Save
Target As..." for anything other than web pages (see key below)

Very short PowerPoint presentation based on
Ch. 61 of the Heathcote book. It *looks* very pretty so have a look at
it

Complete online course from the University
of California. Contains more PowerPoint presentations on this topic than

HCI Lecture |
PowerPoint presentation to accompany a
lecture at Sussex University. It's very good and explains the important
factors in human/computer interaction very clearly.
|
 |
|
Probably about the best overview you'll find
for HCI stuff. From the University of Sunderland - I don't know what
it's level 1 of?
|
|
|
HCI Level 3 |
Level 3 from the same course above is
particularly good for all the psycho-babble stuff associated with H/C
interaction. Personally I like shiny or edible things but I'm sure there
are more important things in life.
