Consortium Sessions All-at-Once
Doctoral Consortium
Saturday 18:00 - 21:00.
Sunday 08:30 - 21:00.
Monday 08:30 - 17:00.
The CHI 98 Doctoral Consortium is a closed session that provides an opportunity
for Ph.D. students to explore their research interests in an interdisciplinary
workshop with established researchers in a group setting. The participants
receive feedback on current research and guidance for future research directions.
The consortium also aims toward the development of a supportive community of
scholars while contributing to the conference goals through interaction with
other researchers and participation in conference events. Consortium participants
have been invited based on their dissertation proposals, and reflect the wide
range of disciplines within HCI research.

Development Consortium
Sunday 09:00 - 17:00.
As we look to the future of HCI, one of our goals must be to continue to develop
HCI as a field by reaching out to professionals within HCI or related disciplines
who are not yet regular participants in the CHI conferences. To extend the reach
of the CHI conference, ACM SIGCHI has created the HCI Development Consortium to
encourage the interaction between the existing CHI community and focused groups
of professionals who have not yet established close links to the CHI conference.
The 1998 Development Consortium will be bringing together teachers who are
attempting to utilize computers as an educational tool within their classrooms.
These teachers will be from varied grade levels and represent many countries.
This event will provide an opportunity for teachers to shape how computers are
being used in educational settings and how HCI research and development might
improve the use of computers in the classroom.
The Consortium will meet in a workshop-style environment on the Sunday prior to
the conference and again at the end of the conference. Participants will also
have an opportunity to experience the CHIkids program.
