Teaching HCI: A Living Curriculum?

Authors Info & Claims
Published:21 November 2016Publication History

ABSTRACT

The results of a study on HCI education in 2014 prompted the proposal to create a living curriculum that responds to the needs of multiple stakeholders. A workshop held during CHI 2014 signaled coalescence in the requirements for the establishment of said curriculum. This workshop seeks to further explore among multiple diverse HCI educators on how to proceed with the establishment of an HCI living curriculum that integrates different cultural contexts and requirements. The workshop will also focus particularly on the African context of HCI education. The envisaged outcome is a plan to proceed with the creation of such a culturally sensitive living curriculum/a and its implementation.
