HCI Reading Group

The first meeting of the HCI Reading Group I started is this Friday. I’m looking forward to digging into some meaty HCI topics. Though I’m enjoying (for the most part) the foundation classes, not being in an HCI focused class has made me feel a bit detached from my future discipline. I’m not sure how many people will actually show up on Friday but the email list is about 30 members strong. We have a wiki so SI alum and other interested parties (like you) who can’t attend meetings can keep up with readings and post their 2 cents. Our first reading will be:

E.L. Hutchins, J.D. Hollan, and D.A. Norman, “Direct manipulation Interfaces”, in User centered system design, D. A. Norman and S. W. Draper Eds., Lawrence Erlbaum Associates Inc, Hillsdale, NJ, pp. 87-124, 1985.
