Abstract

Human-computer interaction (HCI) design principles are often difficult to describe and teach. Not only do many students believe the design of interfaces to be common sense, but they often come from disparate fields to study HCI. In an effort to assist faculty in developing successful HCI curricula, five (5) sample pairings of design concepts and popular media are presented. Key HCI design principles and concepts are demonstrated using relevant, current media examples that the students may have had previous exposure to. Initial use of these tools has proven to be promising in terms of engaging students and increasing understanding.
