Theory base scale (based on authors' judgment):
1: No theory
2: Empirical work as justification but no theoretical justification
3: Empirical work as justification and some theoretical justification
4: Both empirical and theoretical justification
If a research article contains multiple studies, each study is identified by “(1)” for study 1,
“(2)” for study 2, and so on.

The list of courses identified is not meant to be a completely comprehensive listing, but should
provide the reader with some insight into the general distribution and location of current undergrad-
uate HCI courses being offered in English. In order to identify these courses, a key word search with
the Google search engine was conducted using combinations of the HCI terms listed above. The first
one hundred Web sites returned for each search were investigated. In addition, if a Web site sug-
gested additional Web sites, these were also searched and all relevant courses from these sites were
captured. Finally, HCI courses known to the authors, but that did not show up in the Web search,
were also included. 4
Although this method of collecting course information was meant to be without bias, it is
recognized that business courses are occasionally taught within a for-profit environment and
this increasingly competitive marketplace may reduce the frequency with which detailed course
information is offered on the Internet. Therefore, it is recognized that HCI courses taught out of
business schools may be underrepresented within the list of course offerings. However, we choose
to accept this potential bias as the Web search still reflects how people new to HCI may learn
