HCI and education in a changing world: from school to public engagement

Abstract

This workshop follows the educational workshops held at the latest editions of the ACM CHItaly [1] and AVI [3] Conferences, for a further elaboration on the issues related to the relationships between HCI and education. The goal of the workshop is twofold: on one side, the purpose is investigating the methods of HCI in educational contexts where the discipline is the primary subject; on the other side, the purpose is investigating the role that the discipline can have for supporting education in a variety of contexts, starting from schools and moving to other traditional contexts such as museums and exhibitions, but also in novel situations where the focus is on public engagement.
