We invite you to join us in the discussion about

ADVANCES IN TEACHING THE DESIGN PROCESS OF HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION



Organisers: Jenny Preece, Deputy Chair of WG13.1  and  Workshop Chair (UK)
            Peter Gorny, Chair of  WG13.1 (Germany), 
            Tom Hewett, Secretary WG13.1 (USA)

Date: Saturday and Sunday, 24-25 April 1993

Short description

Teaching real-world processes such as computer system design is made
particularly difficult by the young and rapidly evolving nature of the
HCI discipline, especially when there is such a variety of approaches
rather than a single tried and tested methodology.  Consequently, HCI
educators must present design in as meaningful and coherent a way as
possible whilst at the same time acknowledging real-world practices.
This is not an easy task.

In this workshop we will briefly review typical life cycle oriented
software design and then examine two approaches which provide ways of
focusing on HCI design concerns. We will discuss the advantages of each
and consider how to teach them to students. The first approach combines
visualising the conceptual aspects of the design with rapid iterative
testing, whilst the second approach focuses on designing for
socio-technical issues.

Workshop aims:  The overall aim of this workshop is to advance and innovate
teaching HCI design.
