RFC: Add Human-Computer Interaction Book or MOOC to Additional Resources about computer-science HOT 4 CLOSED

The Design of Everyday Things is absolutely a seminal work in the field. But I would argue the book is too long on the why and not explicit enough on the how. It does not dive deep into different protoyping methods.

Of the two courses that you mention, the Coursera course looks like it is closer to a quick and dirty introduction to the field; while the edX 4 courses together look like a better deep dive than the Coursera set (which looks like it roams farther afield).

As we are looking for a shorter introduction to the field (4 Tier I hours and 4 Tier II hours), I lean toward the edX (UC San Diego) course.

Very interested in hearing other voices!

Another alternative could be MIT's 6.813/6.831: User Interface Design & Implementation

@CodeCruncherTimmy
Thanks for opening such a high quality first issue!

Adding a little bit of additional information: contributors can see the GATech students' reviews of HCI here. Note that these reviews will include opinions of not only the videos, but also of the projects in the GATech course (which I would expect to be different from the edX course).
