about Eli Blevis is an Associate Professor of Informatics in the Human-Computer Interaction Design (HCI/d) program of the School of Informatics and Computing at Indiana University, Bloomington. His primary area of scholarship, and the one for which he is best known, is sustainable interaction design. This area of scholarship and his core expertise are situated within the confluence of human computer interaction as it owes to the computing and cognitive and ethnographic sciences, and design as it owes to the reflection of design criticism and the practice of critical design. His scholarship also engages design theory, digital imagery and visual thinking, and design learning. Blevis serves as Director of the HCI/d program at Indiana, which offers undergraduate courses, a two-year MS program, and doctoral studies. Blevis is also affiliated from time to time as Visiting Professor of Interaction Design for the Interaction Design Program of the MDes scheme at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University School of Design, most recently Sep-Dec 2012. |

Course Description for Spring 2013: I400/H400 Digital Imagery as Meaning & Form in Human-Computer Interaction Design We will look at the notion and use of still digital imagery as a material of interaction design, as information, social mechanisms, and technology, as well as techniques of digital image making and use. The class will be primarily studio-based--that is, participants will be asked to complete assigned projects and show their work in class for discussion and critique. Reading assignments will be selected from online sources. Photography experience is neither prerequisite nor exclusionary, as the course will primarily reflect on the nature and transformations of the artifacts of externalized visual memories that digital technologies have created and predict. A cell phone camera will do at minimum for the class assignments, but other options will be discussed in class and understanding the range of technologies associated with digital imagery will be within the scope of this class.

Course Description for Spring 2013: I561 Digital Imagery as Meaning & Form in Human-Computer Interaction Design This is the course formerly known as HCI/d Design II. It was a required course for first year HCI/d MS students. This year, it is an elective. The course covers the same material as the Digital Imagery course described above as I400/H400, with added expectations for the graduate students. Registration information is here.

Course Description for Fall 2011: I590/I400/H400 Visual Literacy in Human-Computer Interaction/Design This is a new course that is required for first year HCI/d MS students. The course will be a Design Challenge Based Learning (DCBL) skills oriented class targeted at acquiring specific competencies with Illustrator, InDesign, direct coding in HTML, CSS and the relationship of CSS to typesetting, secondarily Lightroom, Photoshop, and presentation preparation, but not Flash nor PHP nor Java etc. It is open also to undergraduates who have done well in I300, or are similarly qualified. The class is in three parts, namely PART 1 - Structuring Design Explanations for Slide-sets, Web, and Print PART II - Technical Illustration, Diagrammatic Reasoning & Sequencing PART III - Integrating Visual Literacy into Design Please note that this class is primarily about acquiring visual literacy skills as well as learning these specific tool applications. Students are evaluated on the clarity of visual expression and meaning making in the context of HCI, interaction design, and strategic design planning, as well as on their mastery of the tools. Registration information is here (I590). Registration information is here (I400). Registration information is here (H400).
