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 ...

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...

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 position paper presents observations from a flipped classroom experience of teaching an HCI bachelor course at the University of Trento (Italy) in Fall 2015. Students were provided with conventional lectures, digital learning materials in Moodle, and a collaborative prototyping platform for supporting project work over the 2-months course duration. Overall, students highly appreciated the ...

Photographs have always been artifacts for creating memories and engaging in storytelling activities with others. To date there has been much research in the HCI community towards sharing of both analog and digital photographs. With recent advances in network technology further research has been done with photos being shared almost immediately after capture. However, most of the research has fo...

Clickers and paper forms were used in a senior level HCI class for peer evaluation of student project presentations. Scores given by teachers and students were compared and subjective opinions of students analyzed. Students gave higher scores than teachers and scarcely used the higher and lower ends of the scale. The medium used for evaluation did not have a significant effect on the scores. St...
