Background & Goals
At CHI 2018, a workshop was held on developing a community of practice to support global HCI education. Many themes emerged from the workshop activities and discussions. Two particularly stood out: creating channels for discussion aboutHCI education and providing a platform for sharing HCI curricula and teaching experiences. To that end, we are organizing a CHI 2019 symposium dedicated exclusively to HCI education: EduCHI 2019: Global Perspectives on HCI Education.
The symposium will focus on the canons of HCI education in 2019 and beyond. We seek to bring together HCI and human-centered educators to:
- support the on-going development of the HCI education community of practice;
- provide a platform for discussing current and emerging trends in HCI education;
- showcase innovative pedagogies and teaching practices; and
- promote a global, diverse, and inclusive vision forHCI education.
For Authors
Interested participants should apply by sending the following to EduCHI2019@hcilivingcurriculum.org by 12 February 2019 (extended): a 4-8-page paper (for full paper presentation) or a 2-4-page paper (for short paper presentation), in CHI Extended Abstracts format, describing their perspectives and contributions to global HCI education.
All aspects and topics related to HCI education will be welcomed, including, but not limited to:
- innovative teaching HCI pedagogies
- examples of HCI pedagogy and teaching practices (e.g., assignments/assessments, labs, studios, active learning activities, resources, readings, case study, lecture materials, etc.)
- presentations of a curriculum and its deployment
- international HCI teaching practices
- examples of diverse and inclusive HCI pedagogies.
Applicants will be selected based on their experience, perspective, and potential contribution to achieving the symposium goals. Following a successful acceptance, selected participants will be asked to prepare the final camera-ready version of their paper as well as a presentation to be delivered at the symposium. All accepted papers and presentations will be posted on the symposium website.
At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the symposium and at least one day of the conference.
