Engineering interactive systems is a multidisciplinary endeavour positioned at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Software Engineering, Usability Engineering, Interaction Design, Visual Design, and other disciplines. The field of Human-Computer Interaction Engineering (HCI-E) is concerned with providing methods, techniques, and tools for the systematic and effective design, development, testing, evaluation, and deployment of interactive systems in a wide range of application domains. These techniques, methods, and tools, as well as many other novel forms of interaction, involve aspects that need to be adequately addressed in the curricula of programs in HCI, Software Engineering and Computer Science. This begs the question of how best to address these topics in those curricula, and what the best approaches to address them are.
Goals and Expected Outcomes
The workshop aims at identifying, examining, and structuring educational resources and approaches to support the teaching/learning of HCI Engineering. It aims to cover a range of areas from challenges related to novel forms of interaction to emerging themes stemming from new application domains. Another goal is to consider the variety of students’ skills and experiences. For instance, how to incorporate and teach HCI Engineering in Computer Science curricula or in UI/UX Design curricula? How to teach HCI Engineering to students with different skills (e.g., engineers, designers)? The goal is also to consider different lecturing modalities, ranging from on-site lectures, project-based pedagogy to online/remote lecturing.
We identify two types of potential outcomes that could define the group activities during the workshop:* Educational resources – One goal is to create a repository of educational resources for HCI-E including cases studies, projects and exercises. These educational resources need to be described in a common structure. The definition of this structure was started at a previous workshop. A goal of the workshop will be to extend and consolidate this structure as well as to describe these resources according to this structure.* HCI-E Education Roadmap – Edited volume: Depending on the quality of the submissions and the workshop results, revised versions of the contributions will be published on an edited volume. Alternatively, we will produce a journal paper summarizing and consolidating the contributions, in the form of an HCI Engineering Education roadmap.
Submission Guidelines
We aim to bring together expertise both on HCI Engineering and on Education. Hence, we solicit contributions from the HCI-E related communities, and we will be very interested to welcome members of the educational community, for a fruitful discussion.
Position papers (4-8 pages in ACM single column format) must report experiences related to HCI Engineering education. Submissions could report software engineering units including some aspects of HCI-E, curricula or teaching units dedicated to HCI-E, case studies/projects demonstrating aspects of HCI-E, evaluation of students’ skills related to HCI-E, training non-technical and mixed students in HCI-E, training appropriate aspects of HCI-E to professionals/practitioners, a new teaching modality promising for teaching HCI-E, introducing HCI-E into existing curricula, etc. Authors could also provide in their submission a short summary of their experience in the field and their motivation to participate in this workshop.
