A hypermedia course in Spanish informatics engineering

Public and private companies are continuously asking to the Professional Orientation Service of the University Carlos III de Madrid for technical engineers in informatics trained in areas related to hypermedia technology. For this reason, the Department of Computer Science of UC3M decided to create a new course, called "Hypermedia Systems: Design and Evaluation," with a view to covering this subject applying basic principles of software engineering and HCI. This paper describes the structure and contents of this new course oriented towards introducing students in hypermedia systems and also presents our experience as the teachers of such course.
