The practice of teaching and learning Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) design has to develop its own approaches that balance method and technology use with reflective and situated practice. We present our HCI design studio course that makes a combined use of constructivist pedagogies and virtual worlds aiming to aid students reflect on the use of related methods and technologies in design and t...

International development is concerned with making life better for the least privileged people of the world. Since the 1990s, HCI has engaged increasingly with development through an interdisciplinary field known as “information and communication technologies for development,” or ICT4D. This article overviews the historical relationship between HCI and international development, compares their ...

In this paper I reflect on the role of HCI Education in University level courses. The theme of the conference is 'Architecting the Future' and I analyse what we mean by this in terms of HCI Education. As a community we seem to have moved from fundamental HCI issues through usability and user-centered design, and last year were all about design and creativity – have we moved one step beyond agai...

Several activities related to human-computer interaction (HCI) design are described in literature. However, it is not clear whether each HCI activity is equally important. We propose a multi-disciplinary framework to organise HCI work in phases, activities, methods, roles, and deliverables. Using regression analyses on data from 50 industry projects, we derive weights for the HCI activities in ...

Gender relations are reproduced both within HCI development processes as well as within contexts of use. Hence, theorising the subject of gender becomes part of the responsibility of HCI as a form of practice. The fledgling subfield of feminist HCI has created an epistemological basis for thinking through these challenges. The current text seeks to relate to these contributions by analysing pra...

In its broadest sense, Human-Computer Interaction includes considerations of the social, political, ethical, and societal implications of computer systems. Concerns such as privacy, accessibility, universal design, and voting usability, have led to active HCI research. The interplay between HCI work and societal issues can be characterized by both the source of the concern and the roles that HC...

This position paper was written for the CHI2000 Patterns Workshop, The Hague, 2–3 April, 2000. It is a revised and extended version of a paper for a patterns workshop of the British HCI Group in March 2000. It offers twelve statements outlining my position about patterns in human-computer interaction (HCI). The first, under “Roots”, suggest how HCI, unlike software engineering, can adapt the or...

This article proposes the analysis on novel human computer interaction (HCI) platform based college mathematical education methodology. Above for the application of virtual reality technology in teaching the problems in the study, only through the organization focus on the professional and technical personnel, and constantly improve researchers in development process of professional knowledge, ...

This paper describes the latest insights in HCI education inspired and informed by the creative disciplines, how education is implemented, and how it could be fed back into the artistic fields. It contains examples, contrasts different methods, and discusses and concludes the findings for HCI education in general. A course on HCI is described which is supported by a creative approach, related t...
