Fundamentals of People Oriented Computing
Fundamentals of People-Oriented Computing is a new teaching format that replaced the "Master Basismodule".
It is part of the People-Oriented Computing(POC) study direction, comprising the topics offered by IFI that focus on the relationship between humans and technology. POC deals with the human-centered design of information technology. User-friendliness, security, and cultural and ethical aspects are of core importance. You create interactive systems and visualize information.
