Workshop on HCI Education

The Workshop on HCI Education (WEIHC), which will take place during IHC 2024, is the main Brazilian forum where professors, scientists, and students of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), among other individuals interested in the subject, have a space to (re)think and share experiences, methods, and didactic tools for teaching and learning HCI.

Continuing the proposal from its previous edition, the workshop will be dedicated to hands-on activities primarily focused on disseminating HCI teaching practices. Aligned to the theme of IHC 2024 – “HCI in convergence at the heart of Brazil” – practices that value meetings, dialogue, and exchange of experiences among stakeholders in the design and evaluation of interactive computing systems for human use will be prioritized.

It is desirable that these practices have already been experimented within extension activities. However, practices that have been adopted in HCI teaching with potential for application in University Extension will be accepted. Thus, the aim is to contribute to the process of integrating University Extension into the curriculum with practices that can be adopted in extension activities, emphasizing collaborative activities.

We consider that more in-depth papers regarding experiences in HCI Education will be submitted to the Experience Reports Track. This year, we will continue to accept submissions of HCI teaching practices with the aim of creating a digital book to be made available to the community. During the event, these practices will be discussed and experimented with by participants, with curricularization as a central element.

To contribute to reflections on the Curricularization of Extension in Computing courses, we recommend reading the article “Curricularization of University Extension: what does the Brazilian Computing community have to do with it?“, available in the SBC Horizontes magazine.
