Tutorials Introduction

Tutorials are full-day and half-day courses that let you learn new skills and knowledge through extended interactions with expert instructors. The 32 tutorials available at CHI 99 represent the leading edge of current practice and research in human-computer interaction. Not only do the tutorials provide you with a solid grounding in where the field of HCI is today, they also point the way to where our field will be in the future.

Reaching Around the World and Into the Future

CHI 99 combines 14 new tutorials with 18 highly successful tutorials from past years. Many of these "classic" tutorials have been updated in response to participant feedback. Over a third have been submitted from outside North America. We offer a collection of tutorials that covers emerging technologies and markets, along with tutorials covering important usability methods and techniques. We also provide in-depth training in specialized areas by offering related tutorials on Sunday and Monday. Whether you are new to CHI or not, the tutorial program has been designed to provide both diversity and depth, and to appeal to researchers and practitioners.

EARN Continuing education units (CEUs) FOR CHI TUTORIALS

SIGCHI has been approved as an Authorized CEU Sponsor by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET). This approval is a recognition of the outstanding professional training available through CHI tutorials. The CEU is a recognized unit of measure for continuing education and professional training programs. Each CEU requires the successful completion of 10 hours of instruction. Successful completion of a CHI tutorial requires that you attend the entire session and participate fully in the learning activities.

You can earn 0.6 CEUs for each full-day tutorial (6 hours of instruction), and 0.3 CEUs for each half-day tutorial (3 hours).

To obtain CEU credit, you must register for CEUs at the same time you register for your tutorials. There is an administrative charge. The IACET registry (ACE) will send you a letter confirming registration of your CEUs. In most cases, this letter is adequate proof that you have completed CEUs. In the rare case that it is not, ACE can issue an official transcript for a small fee. Please note that the conference does not issue certificates of completion. For further inquiries about obtaining CEU transcripts, call ACE at +1 202 939 9433.
