Wikipedia:WikiProject Human–Computer Interaction
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome to the Human–Computer Interaction WikiProject! This project is intended to both increase awareness of and improve articles related to Human–Computer Interaction (HCI), and to provide a place for Wikipedians to collaborate on related topics. This project is intended not only to improve the articles most directly related to HCI, but also to explore related disciplines that have led to the emergence of HCI as a principled discipline to inform system and interface design, hardware design, robotics design, social psychology and group formation, and others. The goal of this project will be to better understand, organize, and improve topics related to this discipline to better communicate what HCI is and how it relates to similar fields such as User Experience Design (UX), Interaction Design (IXD), Human-Centered Design, along with many others.

Scope
This project deals with the categorization, creation, and improvement of articles under the purview of Human–Computer Interaction and related topics. Articles within Category:Human–computer interaction are within the scope of this project.
Background
Our understanding of technology and human interaction with that technology has increased as computational technologies proliferate in consumer markets. In the 1980s, much of the academic research in the area was based on cognitive models, wherein a human's relationship to a computer was understood in terms of mental processes. Researchers and practitioners now embrace a broader and more behavioral understanding of how individuals use the technologies at their disposal. Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) is an attempt to acknowledge the richness of each individual's capacity to interact with technology and to better understand that interaction so more effective technologies can be created.

Ongoing Tasks
Open tasks can be broken down into a couple distinct groups. For specific tasks, look at the articles requiring improvement section below.
| What | How |
|---|---|
| Identify articles related to Human–Computer Interaction and tag them appropriately | add Category:Human–computer interaction to the article page |
| add {{WikiProject Human–Computer Interaction}} to the top of the article talk page | |
| Identify articles requiring more citations | research those topics and add references to the sections needing support |
| Determine which articles related to HCI require further editing to effectively communicate their topic | by identifying, tagging, and adding references |
| add the articles to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Human–Computer_Interaction/To_do so other group members can more easily identify and improve them | |
| Suggest new articles to be created | add new article suggestions to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Human–Computer_Interaction/Suggested_Articles |
| Find instructions, guidelines, and archived article assessment details for WikiProject HCI | go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Human–Computer Interaction/Assessment |
| Identify unassessed articles | by browsing the relevant Category page: Category:WikiProject_Human–Computer_Interaction_articles |
