Workshop Theme and Goals:

The workshop will focus on the problem of teaching HCI when technology

is in rapid development, starting from questions such as:

- Where should the focus in education be, on technology or on principles?

- How should educators handle the advent of new interaction paradigms?

- Is it possible to teach only principles, without looking to the

technological development?

- What are the cultural and international HCI issues in connection with

new technology?

The goal of the workshop is to find out possible strategies to teach HCI

in a rapidly developing technology. One of the outcomes is a published

report on various possibilities to include or exclude new technology in

the HCI education. The workshop addresses the education of HCI

specialists, and should attract educators from many countries.
