The 1986 collection of papers "User Centred Systems Design", edited by Norman and Draper, outlined a new perspective on human-computer interaction; several of the chapters have become classics. Issues set out in the book are architectural design as analogy, direct engagement, bi-manual input, computer-mediated communication, social ergonomics, and many others. The course
takes the form of seminars where students prepare presentations of chapters of the book and investigations into the later development of concepts and issues set by the chapters. The seminar is both a tour into a series of interesting issues in human-computer interaction, and an exercise in dealing with the
theory-historical dimension of computing.
