In several workshops that have taken place at other conferences, and in a recent IFIP Workshop on "Teaching Design of Interactive Systems", the aim has been to explore issues and enhance the integration of HCI education in the curricula of different disciplines, such as Computer Science, Psychology, Graphics Design and - because of the growing use of embedded computer systems in all kinds of devices - Industrial Design. The workshop we will discuss and compare present approaches in various countries and in different subject areas. We expect this will result in outlines for recommendations, which will be the basis for further development work after the workshop. If you are interested in participating in the workshop, send a position paper to the email address below. This should detail your present institution, your background and present activities in teaching HCI design or design in general; the courses you and/or your institution offer in HCI or HCI related design (e.g., degree, level, brief content education); and a position paper indicating your ideas for further development of HCI related education. Intended Workshop Participants Educators in Human Computer Interaction, in User Interface Design. Interaction Design, Multimedia and Web Design, Industrial Design etc., Educators in Software Engineering, Psychology.
