Abstract:
Do you teach HCI and want to spend less time preparing while still delivering engaging content? Would you like access to a network of experts to help you design and deliver lectures and assignments? Would an exam question bank, assignment bank, or lecture bank be helpful for you? Have you created course content that other HCI instructors would benefit from?

At this HCI curriculum workshop, we will develop a depot for collectively sharing modules within HCI courses that can benefit instructors regardless of the level (e.g., 3rd year, 4th year, graduate) or department (e.g., CS, iSchool, Engineering) of their HCI course. Given that we have all been working at creating flipped classes and video lectures over the last years, and given how HCI instruction has evolved since the last offering of the Canadian HCI Curriculum Workshop, it is time to refresh our collective shared resources and work together to efficiently and effectively deliver HCI course content, developed and shared by domain experts.
