Few days ago I was complaining to myself that WHY INDIA DO NOT HAVE ANY INSTITUTIONS FOR HCI [Human Computer Interaction] in INDIA. When I met Aadesh and Bhooshan, I came to know about really an interesting thing about Institute for Human Computer Interaction and that also in Mumbai [Bandra].It came to me as a surprise that it's there in India. The name of the institute is "Human Factors International Inc". I visited their site that is http://www.humanfactors.com/ and seems to be very interesting to me. My friends who have attended these classes told me that it is really an amazing stuff to attend even if you have immense knowledge in Usability, it just change the way you look at the things in terms of usability.
That statement made me eager to know more about it and now I am planning to go for it in near future.
If you people know any other institutes in India, who offers such courses on usability, please, let me know.
Would you recommend a course by HFI?
ReplyDeleteThere is one coming up next month in Bangalore. I need a solid review.
Let me know.
This course is: Science and Art of Web and Application Design.
