The Tutorials program at CHI 98 provides conference
participants with the
opportunity to gain new insights, knowledge and skills in a broad range of
areas in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI). Tutorial topics
cover a wide range, from practical guidelines and standards to academic issu
es and theory. Tutorial participants include user interface designers and
users, software developers, managers of human-computer interface projects,
human factors practitioners, interface evaluators and testers, industrial
designers, teachers of HCI, researchers in human-computer interaction and
professionals in other areas seeking to gain an understanding of how HCI
relates to their specialties.
Types of TutorialsPlease indicate the duration and audience experience level of your proposed tutorial on Cover Page Two.
DurationEach tutorial is designed to be a half-day or a full-day in duration. Half-day tutorials are 3 hours long (not including breaks). Full-day tutorials are 6 hours long (not including breaks).Audience Experience LevelsEach tutorial is designed for one of three audience experience levels:
TopicsTutorials cover a wide range of topics. In the past they have covered introductions and overviews of human-computer interaction, usability assessment, use of different types of user interface development software, theories of HCI, graphical design, requirements analysis techniques, design methodologies, behavioral data analysis and modeling techniques, use of multimedia, computer supported cooperative work and groupware, participatory design, teaching HCI, cost/benefit analysis, legal issues and standards. Tutorials on these and other topics broadly related to human-computer interaction are solicited.Of particular interest are Tutorials in the areas of education, entertainment and health care. Individuals interested in submitting tutorials in these areas are encouraged to contact the appropriate application domain Chair. Review ProcessTutorial proposals will be evaluated on the basis of their estimated benefit for prospective participants and on their fit within the tutorials program as a whole. Factors to be considered include relevance, timeliness, importance and audience appeal; suitability for presentation in a half-day or full-day tutorial format; use of presentation methods that offer participants direct experience with the material being taught; and past experience and qualifications of the instructors. Selection is also based on the overall distribution of topics, approaches (overview, theory, methodology, how-to), audience experience levels and specialties of the intended audiences. Thus, not all tutorials of technical merit can be accommodated within the tutorials program.FormatSubmissions for CHI 98 tutorials must include four documents: proposal, extended abstract, description and requirements list.ProposalPrepare a proposal, no longer than 10 pages, for review purposes. The proposal should be a clearly written specification of the tutorial. It should:
If the proposed tutorial has been given previously, the proposal should include a brief history of where the tutorial has been given and how it will be modified for CHI 98. In addition, if the tutorial has been given at a previous CHI conference, the proposal should tell how changes to the tutorial will address comments from previous attendees. Extended AbstractPrepare a two-page summary suitable for publication in the CHI 98 Summary. It should provide a descriptive statement of the content of the tutorial. It must be in the Conference Publications Format, and must contain the title, authors, contact information, keywords, abstract, body and references.DescriptionPrepare a description of the tutorial suitable for inclusion in the CHI 98 Advance Program. It should guide potential participants in deciding whether to take the tutorial. For examples, see the CHI 97 Advance Program. The description should consist of four paragraphs, approximately 1550 characters or 270 words, as follows:
Requirements ListPrepare a list of requirements for running the tutorial. Include any supplies required for each participant, restrictions or conditions on offering the tutorial and other information that the review committee should know in considering the proposal. Please note that you should list your audio-visual and computing equipment requirements on Cover Page Three.Electronic VersionElectronic versions of accepted tutorial extended abstracts will be published in the CHI 98 Electronic Publication.Upon AcceptanceInstructors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by mid-October 1997. Acceptance is conditional upon the instructors' compliance with deadlines and requirements. Summaries of accepted tutorials will be published in the CHI 98 Summary and the CHI 98 Electronic Publication. The primary instructor of each accepted tutorial will receive an Author Kit with detailed instructions on how to submit camera-ready and electronic materials for publication. These materials are due by 2 January 1998. Instructors of accepted tutorials will also receive detailed format requirements for preparation of camera-ready versions of their tutorial notes. The notes are also due by 2 January 1998. Instructors should prepare course material specifically for the CHI 98 tutorial session. Presentation materials used by the instructor for other courses or projects must be reworked within the guidelines described in the Author Kit.Tutorial NotesAttendees at previous CHI conferences have indicated that the tutorial notes are a valuable benefit of taking a tutorial. Consequently, proposed tutorials are accepted contingent upon receipt of high-quality tutorial notes. The notes should serve as reference materials for attendees and should support the presentation of material during the tutorial. The tutorial notes should include:
CompensationAn honorarium of $1,000 will be awarded for each half-day tutorial that is taught, $2,000 for each full-day. If a tutorial has two or more instructors, the honorarium will be shared among them. Instructors must pay for their own travel expenses and conference registration.Submissions
