Wikipedia:WikiProject Human–Computer Interaction

Welcome to the Human Computer Interaction WikiProject. This project is intended to both increase awareness of and improve articles related to Human Computer Interaction (HCI), and to provide a place for Wikipedians to collaborate on related topics. For more detailed information on the specifics of HCI, refer to the Human-Computer Interaction article. This project is intended to not only improve articles most directly related to HCI, but to explore the related disciplines that have lead to the emergence of HCI as a principled discipline to inform system and interface design, hardware design, robotics design, social psychology and group formation, to start with. The goal of this project will be to better understand, organize, and improve topics related to this discipline to better communicate what HCI is and how it relates to similar fields such as User Experience Design (UX), Interaction Design (IXD), Human-Centered Design, along with many others.

Scope

Welcome to the Human Computer Interaction WikiProject.

This project deals with the categorization, creation, and improvement of articles under the purview of Human Computer Interaction and related topics. Most articles within Category:Human–computer_interaction will be within the scope of this project.

Background

In recent years, our understanding of technology and human's interaction with that technology has expanded beyond a cognitive model. Most people no longer assume that there is one ideal path to technology use. People now generally embrace a more nuanced and behavioral understanding of how individuals identify with and utilize the technologies at their disposal. Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is an attempt to acknowledge the richness of each individual's capacity to interact with technology and to better understand that interaction so more effective technologies can be created.

Ongoing Tasks

Open tasks can be broken down into a couple distinct groups. For specific tasks, look at the articles requiring improvement section below.

Organization and meta-data

• Identify articles related to Human Computer Interaction and tag them appropriately

Article Support

• Identify articles requiring more citations. Research those topics and add references to the sections needing support.

Article Improvement

• Through the course of identifying, tagging, and adding references, determine which articles related to HCI require further editing to effectively communicate their topic. This will include stub articles, unstructured articles, or potentially new topics for which an article does not yet exist. Once these articles requiring further work are identified, add them to the list below so other group members can more easily identify and improve them.

Members

Articles requiring improvement

If you identify an article related to the HCI WikiProject requiring improvement, please add a link to it in the list below along with a brief note describing what work needs to be done on the article. For example, copy the format from #1 below (#1 is itself not in need of assistance, it's included just to clarify format):

1. Non-HCI-Article - Example TODO: Needs citations to support claims.
2. Online_community - The section under "Classifying online communities" could be improved by adding more recent efforts in community classification, including original citations for Communities of Practice, Networks of Practice, the distinction between small groups and communities, etc.
