Die Entwicklung der Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstelle ist keine Modeerscheinung der letzten Jahre. Bereits mit der Verfügbarkeit der ersten (interaktiven) Computersysteme wurde die Frage nach effektiven Benutzungsschnittstellen gestellt. Die Erfolge der Forschung auf diesem Gebiet, zu der die graphische Datenverarbeitung einen großen Beitrag geleistet hat, sind unbestritten und haben zu der großen ...

This paper introduces and explores the idea of data poisoning, a light-weight peer-architecture technique to inject faults into Python programs. This method requires very small modification to the original program, which facilitates evaluation of sensitivity of systems that are prototyped or modeled in Python. We propose different fault scenarios that can be injected to programs using data pois...

In the original paper there is a missing Acknowledgment section, and it should include the following phrase: this paper has been partially funded by Instituto de Salud Carlos III, Project EC08/00192.

Blogging can be used to enhance education by encouraging reflective practice. We present a study in which a final year HCI course was constructed around regular blogging activity. We discuss the role of blogs in providing a social mechanism for the student body and in acting as a conduit between classroom and practical examples. We analyze the blogs from a quantitative and qualitative perspecti...

A wide range of evidence points to a preference for syntactic structures in which dependencies are short. Here we examine the question: what kinds of dependency configurations minimize dependency length? We consider two well-established principles of dependency-length minimization; that dependencies should be consistently right-branching or left-branching, and that shorter dependent phrases sho...

150 words) The evolution of HCI education does not take place in a vacuum, nor is it only controlled by the academics and practitioners close to its core. In this paper we reflect on the causes of change in the HCI curriculum and consider what has been lost and found during these changes. Taking inspiration from both the theme of the workshop and the cultural richness of the workshop location w...

The paper explores the effectiveness of persona-based design methods in HCI education. We describe the experiences of our students in learning, practicing, and using personas in a number of design contexts. From these experiences, we identify common patterns of use and misuse and characterize challenges in incorporating and using personas in the classroom. We conclude with advice on how to effe...

This SIG will facilitate a debate concerning how best to support the development of indigenous HCI in developing countries, both as part of education and training systems and within industrial practice.
