Natural programming & Human Subjects Experiments
I teach a course called “Introduction to Human-Computer Interaction for Technology Executives” which is an introduction for non-majors. All of the lectures are video recorded, so the lectures and slides and readings are all available. It would be a nice introduction to HCI. Here is the overall schedule for last fall, which includes links to the videos of the lectures and the slides: (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~bam/uicourse/08763fall16/schedule.html)
Particularly relevant to what y’all are doing are lectures 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 13 (especially 2 and 6) but the others might be of interest as well. Each lecture is about 80 minutes.
The readings listed with those chapters are the most relevant, especially chapters 3 and 12-16 of the UX Textbook (“Hartson-Pyla text”). I have all the other readings as well, if you want to borrow a different book.
