Abstract

HCI education has been an active area in the past two decades. Many researchers have reported on challenges unique to teaching HCI and investigated different pedagogical approaches to improving the students’ learning experience. We add to this body of research by describing our experience in teaching HCI as a mandatory undergraduate course, but with the added complexity of having non-majors and graduate students in it. We describe three pedagogical approaches to teaching this course and summarize the lessons learned. We outline our next steps and hope our discussion can help shape future HCI course developments.
