Bringing design dialog to HCI education

Published:31 March 2001Publication History

ABSTRACT

This research examines design dialog as a technique for helping HCI students learn through design activities. An undergraduate class using this technique with an experienced professor is studied. The students and the professor differ in the techniques they use in asking questions about other students' design projects. Results suggest that students will need help focussing on what they are learning from their design projects.
