HCI in the classroom

Human-Computer Interaction is a recognized field in the CS curriculum, as of Computing Curricula 2001. But what is it? Can you teach it without a formal background in the subject? This workshop addresses both questions, through a combination of lecture/demonstrations, group exercises, and discussion of how to fit HCI into an already-crowded CS curriculum. Each participant may request a copy of User-Centered Website Development: A Human-Computer Interaction Approach, by Dan McCracken and Rosalee Wolfe (DePaul University). All will receive a CD containing instructor supplements, including a complete set of PowerPoint slides. NSF support is gratefully acknowledged.
