LNCS - 5298: HCI and Usability for Education and Work

4th Symposium of the Workgroup Human-Computer Interaction and Usability Engineering of the Austrian Computer Society, USAB 2008, Graz, Austria, November 20-21, 2008, Proceedings

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The Workgroup Human–Computer Interaction & Usability Engineering (HCI&UE) of the Austrian Computer Society (OCG) serves as a platform for interdisciplinary research and development. While HCI traditionally connects psychologists and computer scientists, usability engineering (UE) focuses on the effective implementation of applications within software engineering. In 2008, the theme was Human–Computer Interaction for Education and Work (HCI4EDU), culminating in the 4th annual Usability Symposium USAB 2008 in Graz, Austria. Similar to the previous year's focus on HCI in Medicine and Health Care (HCI4MED), technological advancements in education and work are rapidly increasing. Learners, teachers, and knowledge workers are constantly exposed to new, cost-effective technologies. However, the knowledge gained in educational institutions may not be sufficient for a lifetime. Learning and working are parallel processes, making lifelong learning (LLL) essential in today’s society. The surge in educational technologies is significant, but it is crucial to remember that learning is fundamentally a cognitive and social process that cannot be wholly replaced by technology.
