Principles of information visualization in public transport's information systems
Farkaš, Pavel ; Brejcha, Jan (advisor) ; Ovesleová, Hana (referee)
The diploma thesis Principles of information visualization in public transit information systems considers the ways information design affects one of the most common activities of people in an urban environment: the use of public transit system. In this work, the city space becomes a framework for several disciplines connected to the concept of wayfinding. The author sets the topic in a wide historical and architectural context and links the connections with cognitive science. The case study describes principals for information design using the example of the Prague subway and their application to an experimental station with a new information system installed.

User Interface of Learning Management Systems Design and Validation of Functional Criteria as Basis for a Partial Evaluation
Ovesleová, Hana ; Štogrová Jedličková, Petra (advisor) ; Slussareff, Michaela (referee) ; Šušol, Jaroslav (referee)
Main topic of this thesis is evaluation of user interfaces of learning management systems (LMS). It is the users and their interaction with the system who are the focus of user interface design within the field of Human Computer Interaction (HCI), and that is why user experience was taken into account for interface evaluation. The aim of the thesis was proposition of function criteria field that reflect users' requirements on the system and that can therefore serve as a basis for partial LMS evaluation. Within the scope of HCI interdisciplinarity, we focused on technical-psychological view (computer - human), complemented by the field that reflects the very purpose of LMS - pedagogical process. We believe that combination of general function criteria, which can be applied to any system, and learning content criteria is crucial for LMS evaluation, together with criteria concerning distribution forms and work methods. Based on defined areas, LMS Unifor courses from 2012- 2014 period of time and LMS Moodle courses from 2015-2017 period of time were evaluated using qualitative and quantitative research methods. The output of the research is a set of function criteria, which we regard to be elementary and suggest to be taken into account when considering a LMS.

Product semantics and its benefit in interactive system's design
Ehrlichová, Lucie ; Brejcha, Jan (advisor) ; Ovesleová, Hana (referee)
The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate the evolution of product semantics and its options in interactive system's design. This paper focuses on characteristics the emerge of product semantics and areas from which it derives. It also describes current methods of testing usability of interfaces that are optimalized by product semantics. Analyticcal part consists from interface analysis, testing using knowledge from product semantics and evaluation. Conclusion of this thesis is devoted to a concept proposal of design methodology using the knowledge from product semantics.

Visual Language of Comics and GUI Design
Šlaufová, Kateřina ; Brejcha, Jan (advisor) ; Ovesleová, Hana (referee)
The thesis VISUAL LANGUAGE OF COMICS AND GUI DESIGN is based on an assumption that comics and GUI both use similar features and techniques to communicate with readers/users. GUI as an influential cultural interface is based on languages of other media and as it is shown in this thesis, comics is one of its sources. I discussed similar features of both media - GUI and comics - on the level of their characteristics, semantics and on the visual level. On a general level the main features discussed are convergence and hybridity or the requirements for skills of the reader/user. Very similar for comics and GUI are also the limits emerging from the characteristics of the media they are using. The principal part of this thesis searches for common visual features and finds them in simplifications, sequentiality and multilayer framing and also with features like icons or text. The case study focuses on Adobe Photoshop CS5 GUI from the comics point of view proving connections in practice and showing GUI in new a context.

New media education at secondary waldorf schools
Sladkovská, Alena ; Landová, Hana (advisor) ; Ovesleová, Hana (referee)
The thesis deals with the history and the present of waldorf schools founded by Rudolf Steiner. Also describes media literacy with an emphasis on new media. It covers the way how the new media education is embedded in the Czech educational system. As a particular example served curriculum of the school subject Information and communication technology of the waldorf secondary school in Prague. The thesis also describes the way of media education in Germany. In the second part of this thesis can be found an evaluation of the questionnaire made in secondary waldorf schools in Prague and Semily which had to learn the status quo of (new) media literacy of the students and their relationship with modern technologies. The end of the thesis deals with the suggestion of improvement of the tuition based on the German model.
