Recently I posted information about the curriculum module on user
interface development I wrote for the Software Engineering
Institute (SEI) at Carnegie-Mellon University. I have just
completed an update of the module. Most of the update consisted
of citing additions to the bibliography, which now has close to
200 entries with tables of contents, abstracts, and annotations.
I also added some material (a few exercises) to the section on
teaching considerations. As mentioned in the previous posting,
the module is available free of charge from the SEI. The update
will not be available for several months as it goes through
review.
Coincidentally, I am working on an ACM committee: the SIGCHI
(computer-human interaction) curriculum development group (CDG)
We are working on a recommended curriculum for CHI, a field
somewhat broader than user interface development. Part of my
activities there include gathering teaching materials. You can
read about the CDG activities in most recent issues of the SIGCHI
Bulletin.
If you teach CHI, HCI, user interface development, or whatever, I
would like to receive from you materials that you are willing to
share with others. You will receive acknowledgment for any
materials that are used in either the supplementary materials for
the SEI module or in the CDG report. Also, I will let donators
have copies of the materials I gather, in advance of their
publication or general dissemination. Some materials, because
of the expense of reproduction, may not be available from me.
I am particularly interested in getting the following sorts of
materials, especially in an online form (plain text), but also
high quality printed copies.
Course Syllabi - including readings
Exams - with answers if available
Exercises - including solutions if available
Class/Term Projects -
Lecture Notes - printed master copies, ones with annotations
I am willing to consider all sorts of materials, including video
tapes and software, but any materials should be distributable.
That is, you should be the copyright owner and you must be willing
to allow the materials to be copied freely, with the possible
restriction that it be for non-profit and/or educational use only.
Send me (e)mail or phone me before you send a huge package.
I don't want to have you send me materials that would not be
useful to these projects. The SEI motto: "If you have found some
materials useful, then others will too." My motto: "No teaching
materials too small." Small is often better.
