Call for HCI Teaching Material
for new WWW Resource
____________________________________________________
In addition to the very useful pages of general HCI resources on the
World-Wide Web, there is a need to focus access to teaching
materials for HCI educators, and other researchers and
practitioners who wish to gain expertise in particular methods and
tools.
The BCS HCI Education and Training Work Group is setting up what we
hope will become a major resource site on the World-Wide Web for
HCI education materials. All resources will be freely available via
the Web.
We solicit teaching materials of two types:
TRAINING IN A PARTICULAR HCI METHOD OR TOOL
Researchers in academia and industry who have developed new
methods, tools or techiques in HCI may wish to provide teaching
material to enable and encourage educators to include appropriate
coverage of the particular method in their course, or allow
individuals to gain sufficient understanding to begin using the
technique themselves. Suitable material on specific topics could
include notes, overheads, case study material, papers and links to
other WWW sites which the educator would benefit from.
BROADER HCI TEACHING MATERIALS
The Web is being used more and more for course management and
information dissemination. Teaching material is being made
available to students over the Web by their host institution.
Sharing teaching materials between institutions will provide
valuable support, particularly for those new to teaching the
subject.
The question of protecting authorship of teaching materials was
raised at the HCI education panel at HCI'95 at Huddersfield last
month. There was a strong feeling that teaching material should be
viewed in the same way as research material and it is better to
disseminate it and let others benefit from it rather than protect
it from the sight of other colleagues. In general, educators do not
take other people's material wholesale but rather let the material
inspire their own efforts instead of replacing them. Materials from
educators may be complete courses which span a range of topics, or
may be focussed on specific topics.
CURRENT STATUS
The pages to contain the information are under development, and are
being maintained by the BCS HCI Education and Training Work Group
(ETWG), WWW site: http://www.cms.dmu.ac.uk/bcshci/index.html
STRUCTURING THE TEACHING RESOURCES
The default model that we intend to use is that teaching materials
will be maintained by and stored at the author's host site.
However, if this is difficult, materials can be transferred to the
ETWG web site. The primary role of the ETWG web site is to
index and structure teaching materials, using a standard form which
provides overview information which should help readers decide on
the relevance of the material for their needs.
The site's contents will be organised according to a framework
proposed by the ETWG for HCI curriculum development. It is broadly
divided into topics relating to HCI, to computer science and to
human factors. The framework is discussed in the Spring 1995
edition of Interfaces, the British HCI Group Magazine. The article
is available from Howell Istance (details below), or can be browsed
at: http://www.cms.dmu.ac.uk/bcshci/documents/interfaces.html
SUBMITTING TEACHING RESOURCES
If you wish to contribute to this new website, please complete
the submission form below.
We look forward to hearing from you, and welcome your suggestions
for increasing the value of this resource.
