CS4501 Human-Centered Computing for Digital Well-Being

This course explores the intersection of computing, design, and human well-being, focusing on how digital systems impact our attention, emotions, relationships, and health. It will examine how computing systems can be designed to support digital well-being, addressing challenges like managing attention, reducing distractions, fostering meaningful connections, and promoting ethical technology use. Students will engage with concepts from human-centered design, digital well-being, contemplative computing, and positive computing, developing the skills to create technologies that enhance focus, connection, and quality of life. By blending computer science concepts with insights from digital well-being research, students will gain the knowledge and tools to design technology that serves human flourishing. The course incorporates a "technology sabbatical" to foster mindfulness, deepen learning, and enhance students’ relationship with technology.
