Sage Journals: Discover world-class research

Abstract

I describe four electronic educational resources available via computer networks and electronic mail: (1) a curriculum module on user interface development; (2) a bibliography on human-computer interaction; (3) a description of courses and curricula in human-computer interaction, and (4) a survey of educational opportunities in human-computer interaction. For each of these, I discuss: (1) why the resource was created, (2) how the information was gathered, (3) what information has been gathered, (4) how to access the information, (5) how it has been used in HCI education, and (6) how the information (or information like it) can be applied to Human Factors and Ergonomics (HF/E) education. I conclude with recommendations for the modernization of HF/E information infrastructure.
