Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
The iSchool is home to a world-renowned faculty that investigates, innovates, designs, and builds technologies and digital experiences from the perspectives of human values, access, learning, health, wellness, and life. We lead the field in ability-based design, co-design, data-driven design, patient-centered design, and value sensitive design. Our work engages children and families, patients and clinicians, young people and educators, survivors and international justice organizations, among others. In so doing, we seek to improve human well-being and ensure equitable access to information and digital experiences.
