Ce programme est fait pour vous

Vous venez de terminer une maîtrise et vous voulez poursuivre votre spécialisation sans intégrer un programme de doctorat complet.
Vous êtes déjà en emploi dans un domaine connexe à l’UX et à l’interaction humain-machine. Vous souhaitez maintenant ajouter à votre maîtrise ou à votre MBA une spécialisation avancée en expérience utilisateur.
Vous envisagez de poursuivre vos études avec un doctorat en technologies de l’information, mais vous voulez faire l’expérience des cours de 3^e cycle avant de prendre une décision.
Vous souhaitez élargir votre expertise après avoir obtenu un doctorat dans une discipline connexe (psychologie, neurosciences, design, informatique, génie, par exemple).

This course has four main objectives: 1) to present the major experimental designs used for research in management and in the behavioral sciences; 2) to familiarize students with the statistical methods and a software (e.g., SPSS) to analyze experimental data; 3) to interpret and present results from the statistical analyses and discuss the validity and limits of the results; 4) to understand and to criticize the methodology and statistical results of published articles in the research fields of the students.

Themes covered

Basic principles of experimental designs
Completely randomized designs
Contrasts and multiple testing
Effect sizes and power
Blocked designs and analysis of covariance
Moderation and linear mediation analysis
Introduction to causal inference
Repeated measures designs and introduction to mixed models

The seminar includes research based on all types of neurophysiological tools, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging, electroencephalography, physiological measures and molecular genetics. The seminar covers conceptual and empirical works, as well as theoretical and design science research related to themes such as trust, technostress, technology adoption, human-computer interaction, emotional and cognitive processes in IT usage. At the end of this course, students will understand the main neuroscience methods used in IT and they be competent at developing a neuroscience experiment on a topic related to IT research.

Themes covered

1- Neuroscience methods in IT research: It includes research based on all types of neurophysiological tools such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) electroencephalograhy (EEG) fNIRS (functional near-infrared spectroscopy) electromyography (EMG) hormone assessments physiological measures (e.g. skin conductance and heart rate measurement) and molecular genetics.

2- Topics of applications in IT: NeuroIS literature shows that papers address the following topics among others: employment of neurophysiological knowledge and tools to examine trust technostress website design technology adoption human-computer interaction emotions in e-commerce information behavior IS design science mental workload social networks usability software development and business process modeling and enterprise systems. Also software prototypes of NeuroIS applications which use bio-signals (e.g. EEG skin conductance pupil dilation) as system input are an essential topic in the field; such systems are referred to as neuro-adaptive information systems. Methodological and ethical discussions are also critical.

This course is designed to provide students with an in-depth understanding of human-computer interaction (HCI) and its role in the design, development, and evaluation of information systems. The course will cover the theoretical foundations of HCI, as well as the practical issues related to the design and evaluation of interactive systems. In doing so, the course will prepare students for conducting both academic and practitioner-oriented research in HCI.

Themes covered

1. Human-Computer Interaction
2. Human Factors
3. Perception and cognition
4. Attention and memory
5. Usability engineering
6. User-centered design
7. Social aspects of HCI
8. Privacy and security
9. Ethics and responsibility
10. The dark side of HCI
11. Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence
12. Immersive Environments and Experiences
13. Research methods
14. Research papers and grant proposals
15. Disciplinary differences in HCI
