HCIEd8
the 8th BHCIG Workshop on Human-Computer Interaction Education and
Practice
Monday, 25 April 2005
BCS London, First Floor, The Davidson Building, 5 Southampton Street,
Covent Garden, London WC2E 7HA ==================================================================
** Please note the change in date. The Workshop is now a one-day
rather than a two-day event. **
While discussions at the workshop will be based around already
submitted position papers, attendance at the workshop is also open to
both university and industry educators and trainers who have not
submitted a position paper, but interested in helping the group
formulate a better understanding of whether universities and industry
training organisations are producing HCI graduates in the way needed by
industry, as prescribed by schemes such as the SFIA (Skills Framework
for the Information Age) framework, HCI accreditation, and the use of
Standards.
Due to space constraints, places are limited, so please register early
to avoid disappointment.
Programme for the Day.
===============
09:30 Opening and Welcome
09:40 Paper Session Course Content, Structure and Pedagogy
In this session, authors of accepted position papers will describe
various aspects of what we teach HCI at universities and in industry.
We hope to develop an understanding of the current state of academic
and industry teaching and training programmes and in particular to
identify the differences between them, both in terms of content and
delivery.
11:00 Coffee / Tea
11:20 Paper Session (continues)
12:30 Lunchtime discussion
13:30 Report back summary
14:00 Panel Session
This panel will discuss the SFIA Industry model on Systems Ergonomics,
as well as issues of standards and accreditation for HCI professionals.
This should be a very informative session, and we hope that discussion
amongst the panel members and the audience will highlight important
issues regarding the provision of HCI training in both industry and
academia. The panel includes industry specialists from IBM, Human
Factors International, and Serco Usability Services.
15:30 Afternoon tea
16:00 Final round up
In this session, we hope to identify key issues raised from the morning
and afternoon sessions.
17:00 End
