Data-I - Interactive Experience of IoT Data: A Practical Tool for IoT Sensor Data in Interdisciplinary Human-Computer Interaction Education.

In this teachable moment we present our approach and tools for an ongoing teaching-learning project that brings the focus of human-data interaction in classical human-computer education, namely a human-centered design process. We explain our motivation, coming from an HCI course open not only for computer science students but for multiple disciplines aiming at integrating an interdisciplinary perspective. We motivate why we chose to focus on simple IoT sensor data and why a hands-on approach is useful for students. We discuss our Sensorkit, which is designed to support students in all relevant stages of the HCD process, from initial exploration, gaining insights and understanding, to prototyping, to evaluating a prototype that collects and visualizes sensor data in a small study with participants.
