At almost every Interaction conference there have met a group of individuals at some sort of lunch break or other off time to discuss interaction design education. During Interaction 13, we formalized this gathering and crafting a full day workshop about the various issues facing interaction education in all relevant contexts.
At the workshop, topic sessions were held on the following topics: curriculum, research, portfolios, apprenticing, continuing education, industry-academia relationship. The outcome of those workshops were captured in design artifacts and a great discussion among workshop attendees were had.
This panel consisted of the workshop co-organizers, Dave Malouf and Haig Armen, as well as the topic session facilitators. They presented their session topics as well as communicated the next steps this group of people have planned in relation to interaction design education.
After the panellists presented, a facilitated conversation for the general conference took place. It was a time for criticism, feedback, and alternative suggestions to be considered by the larger group in relation to interaction design education.
