NordiCHI’14 Tutorials
The NordiCHI 2014 conference would like to offer a wide variety of tutorials for researchers, practitioners, designers, developers, managers and students. We invite proposals for tutorials focusing on all themes of the Human Computer Interaction field. In particular, we encourage you to give tutorials connected to the themes of the conference which are: fun, fast and foundational. Therefore, we encourage instructors to propose a tutorial on new and emerging areas, methods and technologies, or on experimenting with new forms of instruction and innovative perspectives in an HCI context. Additionally, we encourage instructors to propose tutorials on the foundational themes of HCI and on the fast evolving techniques used in the field.
The duration of tutorials may be 1 – 4 sessions (4 sessions being a full day).
Tutorial venue (added on April 14)
All the tutorials will be held together with the workshops and the doctoral consortium, on the premises of Aalto University’s ARTS school. The venue is located at Arabia, Helsinki, in an old factory building which was refurbished in 1986 and has since then been the home for university-level art and design education. We plan to arrange bus transportation from the conference hotel to the workshops venue.

– Min 10 paid participants: Free conference registration for the 1st instructor.
– Min 20 paid participants: Free conference registration for the 2nd instructor, or 500€ compensation.
– For every additional 10 participants, up to 60: Free conference registration or 500€ compensation.
