When the first edition of Human-Computer Interaction was launched in 1993, extensive teacher's materials were made available free to adopters of the text book through Prentice Hall agents world-wide. A 100 page bound teacher's book included answers to all exercises and also project suggestions. In addition, a complete set of OHP masters was available to those who adopted the book as course text.
These materials have also been available electronically by FTP in US letter and A4 format.
We are in the process of updating and reformatting these materials, which will also be available as HTML. PDF versions of all OHP masters are now available and the OHP masters will continue to be available in PostScript or rtf for FTP download from UK and US mirrors.
The exercises are available now on the web. They can also be accessed from the table of contents.
The additional design projects can be used as end of term projects or assessments. Further tutorial suggestions will be available shortly.
Access notes for teachers for further information about using these materials, together with the text, for HCI courses. (Also available to download (260K) in PDF format.)
See also teaching materials from our own HCI courses and chapter-by-chapter links to web resources.
FTP sites for OHP masters
OHP masters for use with the book are available at ftp mirror sites in the US and UK (PDF currently only available at UK mirror). Choose the site which gives best response from your location.
US mirror:
ftp://ftp.sei.cmu.edu/pub/gda/HCI-book/
UK mirror:
ftp://ftp.hiraeth.textilearts.net/books/hci/
At each site the resources are available in both US-letter and A4 format. There is no difference between the materials offered, except that they have been formatted slightly differently to print on different sized paper.
Each site has a README file containing copyright and general information and two subdirectories US-letter and a4 containing the corresponding versions of the materials.
In each subdirectory there are overhead transparencies for each chapter, and cover sheets. Most of the contents are in PostScript (slides.##.ps.Z), but some of the overhead slide masters are in RTF format from Microsoft Word (slides.##.rtf.Z). All files are compressed using UNIX compress.

These materials are made available solely for use in conjunction with Human-Computer Interaction. They are NOT public domain and copyright remains with the authors.
We are building a set of links to HCI resources on the Web, including more teaching resources of our own and links to other sites arranged on a chapter by chapter basis. This is very much an ongoing project, so please feel free to suggest additions.
Also there are powerpoint slides for a lot of the book at Gregory's site.
