News
- 18.05.2017: There's an (unofficial) channel on Slack for this course: #ath-ss17.
- 08.03.2017: Applications for the lecture are possible until 13th April via UniWorX. Note that the number of participants in this course will be limited.
Course Overview
The course "Advanced Topics in HCI" introduces foundations and current trends from different research areas in Human-Computer Interaction. Topics covered in the course include, but are not limited to, interactive surfaces, usable privacy and security, e-learning, brain-computer interfaces, eye tracking, and interaction with mobile devices (see below for the complete agenda).
The course consists of two parts:
- Lextures: All lectures will be held by the scientific staff of the LFE Medieninformatik. During these lectures, participants will receive an introduction to active research areas in HCI as well as to ongoing research projects in the department. The lectures also serve as a basis for the adjoint research project.
- Research Project: In parallel to the lecture, participants will work on scientific projects in groups of two (appr. 2 weeks full time commitment). The scientific staff will provide topics and supervise participants during the project work. All projects include a concept phase as well as an implementation and/or evaluation phase. Projects may also include data analysis. The outcome of each project will be documented in the form of a scientific paper. There will be no regular sessions for the project work - rather participants are expected to meet with their supervisors on a regular basis. All participants are expected to present their projects during a seminar at the end of the term. Presentations will be in the form of posters.
Final Presentation
The final presentation will be held in the form of a poster presentation. There will be two sessions, lasting 60 minutes each. In each session, half of the teams will present their work while the other course participants will take the role of the audience and engage in discussion with the presenting teams about their projects.
Each session will start with a 1-minute madness, where each group will pitch their project in 60 seconds (hard time limit!). Groups are expected to design one slide that needs to be submitted via Uniworx until 01.08.2017 and that will be shown during the madness slot. You can use the template below or use your own design. As for the presentation: be creative! The goal is to make as many people be interested in your work as possible.
Following the madness session, there will be approximately 45 minutes of poster presentations. Posters are expected to be in DIN A1 portrait format (examples in the slides and under "Course Material") and need to be setup prior to the madness session (poster walls will be provided). The poster should support the discussion of the project and outcomes with other course members and the invited staff of the LFE Medieninformatik. Posters are expected to be uploaded through Uniworx on or before 01.08.2017. We will take care of printing your posters.
Submission
Reports on your research projects need to be submitted using either of two templates - the SIGCHI Proceedings format (4 pages excl. references) or the SIGCHI Extended Abstract format (6 pages excl. references). Please check back with your supervisor, which format to use! Templates in LaTeX or Word can be downloaded below.
Course Material
Templates
The following templates are to be used for the project.- Template for scientific paper (SIGCHI Proceedings Format): Word, LaTeX
- Template for scientific paper (SIGCHI Extended Abstract Format): Word, LaTeX
- Template for madness poster: Powerpoint / Keynote
- Example for a poster: poster_sample1.pdf, poster_sample2.pdf
Readings
Participation in the course requires a basic understanding of scientific working. Optimally, students attended the course "Scientific Working and Teaching (SWAL)" .- "How to present scientific work"
- "How to write a scientific paper" (slides from SWAL)
- "How to give a scientific presentation" (slides from SWAL)
- "How to review a scientific paper" (slides from SWAL)
