Title: Towards responsible interaction design education
Abstract: This paper addresses the need and opportunities to align courses in interaction design with ideas behind responsible research, design, and innovation by focusing on values, responsibility, and longer-term and more sustainable perspectives. Rather than discussing the design of new courses leveraging a specific perspective, e.g., sustainable interaction design, we suggest ongoing iterative transformations of an existing course aiming to include multiple relevant perspectives toward responsible education in interaction design. The course re-design utilizes research through design approach exploring how to position responsibility, values, and ontological perspectives when teaching interaction design, using educational components that we identified as a design material. The paper contributes by 1) leveraging the importance of responsible education and 2) a method to 'steer' interaction design courses toward more responsible education in interaction and related design fields concerned with digital artefacts and interactions with technology.
