Please file it away as a reference. In addition to this list, please follow the Education Column, edited by Jean Gasen, in the ACM SIGCHI Bulletin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PLEASE DO NOT SEND ADD/REMOVE REQUESTS TO: educators.chi@xerox.com. Irrelevant mail of this sort makes people lose interest in the list. Please DO send requests for additions to or deletions from the list to: educators-request.chi@xerox.com and not to educators.chi (the "-request" scheme works for many lists). It is unlikely that more than 100 people want to know you are leaving. Please do not send your requests to someone at Xerox; they support the ACM SIGCHI mailing lists, but do not maintain the lists. The list is maintained by hand, so to make processing easier, please format all requests in a form like: add: joeshmo@basketweave.podunk.edu remove: janedoe@pricey.ivy-league.edu (Users from the UK, please reverse your JANET addresses for us.) ============================================================================== Check out the following ACM interactions column on HCI Education: http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/~perlman/22-edu.html ============================================================================== The rest of this message describes several resources for HCI education.
