Tutorials

Tutorials offer practitioners, students and researchers the opportunity to extend their knowledge into new areas of expertise and to learn about specific concepts, methods and techniques from recognised experts.

Tutorials are held on Monday 24 (and possibly Sunday 23) October 2016, before the conference starts. A tutorial may be full day or half day in length (morning or afternoon session). There is a lunch break and a mid-morning/afternoon break as well, making a full day of six working hours.

The NordiCHI 2016 conference would like to offer a wide variety of tutorials for researchers, practitioners, designers, developers, managers and students. We invite proposals for tutorials focusing on all themes of the Human Computer Interaction field, and in particular we invite tutorials focusing on the theme of the conference: game-changing design. We encourage instructors to propose tutorials on new and emerging areas, methods and technologies or experimenting with new forms of instruction and innovative perspectives in an HCI context. We also welcome proposals for tutorials on foundational themes of HCI.
