Year: 2026

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Many educators and practitioners within HCI have their secret ‘diamond’ teaching process, game, or strategy in their metaphorical ‘back pockets’ to be deployed strategically with a cohort of students or collaborators as necessary. Often these strategies or techniques are aimed at revealing complex conceptual or critical issues that underpin HCI thinking. This engaging pedagogic practice of using oblique approaches engages student with concepts, ideas, and principles in HCI and creative practice that often exist ’beneath the surface’. Exposing them to ideas and insights that form the central critical energy within interaction design and human computer interaction.
