Facilitators:
Sally Fincher, University of Kent
Janet Finlay, Leeds Metropolitan University
Throughout the academic year 2007-08, a group of HCI Educators have been
engaging in an HCI Disciplinary Commons, meeting on a monthly basis to
discuss their teaching practice, undertake peer observation and engage
in
peer review. Each participant aimed to produce a portfolio representing
their HCI teaching during this period. These portfolios form a body of
knowledge about HCI teaching in the UK that may be of use to other
practitioners.
This HCI Disciplinary Commons workshop has three aims:
* To inform the wider community about the process, activity and outcomes
of
the Commons;
* To give participants a taste of how the Commons operated;
* To consider how we might progress to develop meaningful
representations
for HCI Educators to share practice.
The workshop will be in two parts. In the morning, the facilitators of
and
the participants in the Commons will give a series of presentations on
the
priniciples, process and experience of the Commons approach to sharing
practice. In the afternoon, workshop participants will take part in
activities focused on sharing and representing practice. These
activities
will be anchored in case studies of HCI teaching practice, submitted
prior
to the workshop.
The workshop will be of interest to anyone teaching HCI who wishes to
share
practice with others and anyone interested in methods for sharing
practice
in general.
PARTICIPATION
To participate in the workshop please submit a brief case study of a
