Wednesday
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM
I have several goals with this talk. One is to briefly trace the evolution of HCI education from the 1970s to the present, including the development of a broader emphasis on Human-Centered Computing. The second goal is to describe my current research in re-designing how to teach HCI - by taking the lecture out of the classroom onto the web, so that class can be more about doing and discussing and less about listening. Our classroom experiments show that students learn more and better enjoy this approach as opposed to a more lecture-oriented style. Also, our lab studies show that students learn more from watching web lectures that include video versus only audio, PowerPoint, table of contents and viewing controls. Third, I describe our evolving HCC Educational Digital Library (EDL) - a resource for teachers and learners - and the ResultMap visualization used in the library.
