In line with IHC 2022 and the theme “Paths of Interaction”, the WEIHC this year will be dedicated to discussing HCI teaching in all its ways, starting from research centers, but reaching all institutions, at different levels, who teach HCI. Thus, the theme of the 2022 WEIHC is “Walking and teaching and welcoming knowledge in HCI teaching”.

The event will have space for the presentation and discussion of articles on experiences in teaching HCI and also a panel that aims to promote an overview of 3 essential aspects in teaching HCI: (1) organization of disciplines and their contents, (2) teaching practices and (3) research possibilities at the undergraduate level. To do so, we will count on the participation of three big names in our community:

  • Simone Barbosa (PUC-RJ): Fundamental content of HCI. How to organize a discipline?
  • Milene Silveira (PUC-RS): New techniques for teaching HCI
  • Luciana Zaina (UFSCar): Learning through research – conducting scientific initiation and TCC’s at HCI

Given the diversity that we have in HCI teaching practices, which can be shared, fostering quality teaching throughout Brazil, we seek to involve everyone in the joint construction of a shared space for the exchange of knowledge. This space aims to transpose the WEIHC experience exchange beyond the event, as a strategy to bring together all HCI professors in Brazil.
