It all depends on what you want your students to learn in the end I guess... If you use the lists of work suggested earlier, there is the risk that you end up in a course that is more about systems design rather than interaction design. But there are so many perspectives you can apply to the phenomenon of interaction. And it all boils down to what you want your students to learn. These articles represent theories that over the years have influence me in my own work as interaction design researcher: David Benyon and Manuel Imaz. 1999. Metaphors and models: conceptual foundations of representations in interactive systems development. Hum.-Comput. Interact. 14, 1 (March 1999), 159-189. DOI=10.1207/s15327051hci1401\&2_5 http://dx.doi.org/10.1207/s15327051hci1401\&2_5 Susanne Bødker and Peter Bøgh Andersen. 2005. Complex mediation. Hum.-Comput.

DOI=10.1145/1460355.1460360 http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1460355.1460360 An aspect that I miss in this list is some theoretical work on design for online communities, and something on action cycles a la ecological psychology. Hmm, perhaps I should use this list for our course in Advanced interaction design, but I probably would want so add some methods to that... My list is rather much connected to interaction design theory, rather than interaction theory. For interaction more generally: Paul Dourish (2001?).

James Wertsch (1998). Mind as Action. Oxford University Press. Etienne Wenger (1998). Communities of Practice: Learning, Meaning, and Identity. Cambridge University Press.
