Using a System of Tutorials and Groups to Teach User Interface Design

Wright, T., Noble, J. and Marshall, S.

Offering a new course on user-interface design presents several problems for a Computer Science department. As well as building student competency in user interface design and user interface evaluation, the course must give timely feedback to students while ensuring that staff and student workload remains manageable. We developed a course that uses a novel system of tutorials and group work to increase feedback about design to students and control both staff and student workload. We plan to extend this approach to other courses where design and group work are important components.
