skills training in the workplace. This workshop aims to provide a
meeting place for educators mapping out a research and activity agenda
for common concerns.
Topics of interest include - the value of HCI to students, industry
and society; measuring, assessing and recording professionalism in
HCI; the existence or otherwise of a core curriculum for HCI; the
relationship between HCI, multimedia and Interaction Design and a
consideration of how HCI has changed in the last 20 years and how it
might look 20 years from now
The workshop will be supported by a dedicated website (hosted by the
HE Academy) and will result in the production of a number of posters
for the conference attendees.
