- 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.
