%T Digital Touch Experiences: Educating the Designers
%U https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10177918/
%X This paper provides the emerging EDUCHI community with a case study example of innovation  within HCI education, in the context of Industrial Design, at a moment in time where both  disciplines are experiencing radical transformation in terms of their identity and scope. Here, we  present a novel pedagogy for designing digital touch communications, developed by an  interdisciplinary collaboration of HCI, design, and social science academics, and advanced through  a coursework assignment for around eighty undergraduate design students undertaking a User  Experience Design module. We discuss the role of low-fidelity experience prototyping of  interactions beyond screens, and the need for new educational ‘tools’ to support the design of  digital touch experiences. We conclude the paper with reflections on the collaboration so far and  ongoing work.
