CHI 2003... April 5-10 in Ft. Lauderdale
Come to CHI 2003 to learn from and exchange ideas with some of the premier thinkers and researchers of interaction design. You can acquire critical information about how to create future interactive environments. This year's conference offers 36 full and half-day tutorials, referred sessions and invited presentations. A small sample of this year's presentations include:
Successful e-learning requires understanding learner needs, paying attention to research- based learner-centered design principles, and building an electronic environment that provides timely feedback, rich information, meaningful conversations, and learning-by- doing." Carolyn Gale of Stanford University and Sherry Hsi of Metacourse will present their tutorial Enhanced E-Learning Through Learner-centric Design. Discover what capabilities and activities are needed to support rich, engaging, "lasting" learning. Advancements in technology have enhanced our potential to create and deliver eLearning, but instructional developments and research in this area have yet to effectively exploit or direct these opportunities. Lisa Neal, eLearn Magazine's Editor-in-Chief and EDS consultant; and Gavan Litner of Aptima will moderate a special panel: eLearning Comes of Age: Developing Rich and Vibrant Learner Experiences This session, we take inspiration from the usability movement in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) to reflect on how we can attend to the needs of the learner in the development of eLearning. Lisa Neal, eLearn magazine Editor-in-Chief and Ken Korman, ACM Execitive Editor of Magazines will host a discussion on eLearning. This discussion, scheduled for Wednesday 9 April from 2:30 - 4 PM, will examine important issues in eLearning as they relate to the field of human-computer interaction. Don Norman will present Emotion & Design for the closing plenary on April 10th.
Norman says,"Usable products don't have to be ugly. In fact, the brain works differently when happy rather than anxious, so products can actually be easier to use if they give fun and pleasure, along with beauty." Norman is an eLearn Magazine's Advisory Board Member, Principal of Nielsen Norman Group and Professor at Northwestern University. BJ Fogg of Stanford University will teach how computing products (from web sites to mobile applications) can be designed to influence people--to change what they think and do in How To Motivate & Persuade Users: Influence in Everyday Human-Computer Interaction. Jared Spool, founder of User Interface Engineering, and Christine Perfetti will present factors that affect user experience with Web sites Web Sites that Work: Designing with Your Eyes Open. Jared and Christine will also provide ground-breaking new updates concerning usable Web sites in Web-Site Usability: The Big Picture 2003.
For a complete list of Tutorial offerings consult the Tutorials Schedule.
