Computer-Human Interation 2008

As we know, you can't separate a learning experience from the "user experience" if it's taking place online. Since usability, interaction design, and all elements within the study of Computer-Human Interaction are so foundational to design for elearning, why not check out the ACM Special Interest Group in Computer-Human Interaction (SIG-CHI). SIG-CHI will sponsor a variety of excellent conferences this year, including one together with SIG-GRAPH, and one that focuses on Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW). Here are the highlights...
