Tutorial Recommended Groupings

For the first time, the CHI Conference suggests tutorial groupings that form useful educational sequences. For example, the two-day "HCI and the Internet" grouping is highly interactive, and all participants will gain hands-on experience using the Internet, using Internet tools, and developing World Wide Web documents. The "HCI Software Development" grouping focuses on converting traditional interfaces to graphical user interfaces, including an introduction to programming in MS Windows for HCI professionals.

Registering for a grouping or any 4 or more tutorial units before the early registration deadline guarantees space in your selected tutorials. Individuals completing a grouping or any 4 or more tutorial units will receive a Certificate of Completion for 16 hours of professional training in human-computer interaction.
