Designing Interactions: Repositioning Design in HCI (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Varey, A., Smyth, M., & Cairncross, S. (2006, March). Designing Interactions: Repositioning Design in HCI. Paper presented at HCIEd 2006 Inventivity: Teaching theory, design and innovation in HCI

This paper describes three case studies which discuss different ways in which HCI and multimedia students in the School of Computing at Napier University are exposed to design in its widest sense. This is achieved through engaging students in activit... Read More about Designing Interactions: Repositioning Design in HCI.
