The HCI Domain
This session will focus on the scope and boundaries of HCI, in the context of what appears to be an ever-expanding body of relevant theory and diversity of application domains, ranging from usability engineering to interaction design, from interacting with computers to interacting through computers, and from work-based to home and leisure-based applications.
Invited speaker: Professor David Benyon, Chair HCI Research Group, Napier University
Accessibility
How can we best design applications and devices that meet the needs of all users? How can we help make our learners and trainees aware of these issues? What assistive technologies can we use to help users with special needs? How can we make our curriculum more accessible?
Invited speakers
Lorna Gibson, David Sloan, Dr Anna Dickinson and Professor Alan Newell, (all from Applied Computing, University of Dundee) "Including Accessiblity within undergraduate computing courses"
Dr Alison Crerar, Chair, Edinburgh Branch BCS, Organiser for Scotland of IT-CAN-HELP a network of IT professionals helping disabled people with technology, School of Computing, Napier University
Graphic Design and Interface Design
Interface design: an engineering discipline or an art? How can graphic design influence interface design? Do learners need graphic design principles?
Invited speaker: Professor Brent MacGregor, Head, School of Visual Communication, Edinburgh School of Art.
Current Issues in Teaching, Learning and Training for HCI
What should we be teaching and why? How should we be teaching it and why? What learning pedagogies are appropriate for HCI? How can new learning technologies best be used to support our teaching and learning? What is industry looking for in our graduates? What is industry teaching our graduates?
Invited Speaker: Dr Janet Finlay, Chair Education and Practice Working Group, British HCI Group, Reader, School of Computing, Leeds Metroploitan University.
In addition to presentations by the invited speakers we are also looking for contributions to allow us to explore and discuss these themes further. We are keen to encourage contributions from trainers and other practioners from industry.
