Within undergraduate Computer Science, Human Computer Interaction is often considered a blend of user-centered requirements analysis, design, implementation and evaluation. While most are teachable within the constraints of a conventional undergraduate lecture course, design is much more difficult to pass on. We know that design-oriented programs (e.g., arts, industrial design, and architecture...

Tangible computing incorporates gesture, grasping, and the use of physical objects as integral parts of interaction design. This paper describes a theory-driven design studio course in which students were asked to develop a new tangible application grounded in the psychology of gesture and thought and informed by protocol studies and critiques of the role of gesture in existing tangible applica...

This paper explains the theoretical and practical objectives of infosense, a studio for designing interactive experiences in sensate space. Spaces embedded with sensing capabilities for gathering information about users form a new design phenomenon that requires strategies for developing responsive, interactive visual and sonic displays. The infosense studio exposed students to a range of intel...

Previous studies have shown that many students have misconceptions about basic concepts in physics which persist after instruction. It has been concluded that one of the challenges lies in the teaching methodology. To address this, Georgia State University (GSU) has begun teaching studio algebra-based physics. Although many institutions have implemented studio physics, most have done so in calc...
