Call for Participation
If you are a HCI educator - in industry or in academia - this is the workshop for you! Share your expertise, learn new ideas, see what others are doing across the divide.
HCIEd-8 is the 8th Workshop on Human-Computer Interaction Education and Practice. It is organised by the BCS HCI Group, and will be held in the BCS London premises in Covent Gardens, in Central London. The HCIEd series of workshops is usually held twice a year, once at or around Easter, and the second at the BHCI Group's annual conference in September.
The workshop will comprise a lively mixture of presentations, examples, and workshop breakout sessions. The aim is to encourage participation and dialogue around the core themes of each day.
The purpose of HCIEd-8 is
(i) to identify best practice in HCI education and training in university and industry, and
(ii) to understand the definition of the systems ergonomics component of the Skills Framework for the Information Age, SFIA, used to define industry-based achievement levels, and how that might inform our education and training practices, and in turn how we might influence the re-development of the SFIA,
which will impact the criteria for HCI accreditation.
We look forward to you joining us at our London Workshop!
Co-Chairs Russell Beale and William Wong
