Overview
This is the archival web for CSEP 510, "Human Computer Interaction", Winter Quarter 2006. During the course we used a wiki for everything (class schedule, assignments, informal collaboration on the course project, and other things), and both staff and students edited it. The wiki was viewable and editable only by people with a CSENetID.
After the course was over, we used a utility to convert the wiki to a static, publicly visible web page. The conversion wasn't perfect -- there are some broken links -- but it should be quite usable. (Student contact information, editing history, and discussion pages have been omitted; students were also given an opportunity to delete anything else they didn't want in the archival version.)
The course was similar to previous offerings of CSE P 510 -- please see the main CSE P 510 course web page for links to past offerings. Also see the web page for CSE 510 course web page (this is the department's PhD course in HCI).
