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.

Title Fundamentals of People-Oriented Computing
Specialization People-Oriented Computing
ECTS 6
Term Fall 2023
IVDA Topic Human-Centered Interactive Visual Data Analysis

Several professors will offer topics to choose from. The topics we are offering run under the umbrella "Human-Centered Interactive Visual Data Analysis".

About the Course

The Fundamentals of POC is designed to:

  • Provide a deep dive into a POC topic that excites you
  • Give you experience in reading and analyzing scientific literature
  • Give you the chance to gain familiarity with a professor or research group in POC
  • Complement other lectures and teaching formats with a self-directed module

Basic format of topic is reading scientific literature and individual oral examination

  • Reading is typically 250-300 pages, depending on format
  • Course grade is mainly determined by the grade of the assessment
