Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in Spanish university is a recent discipline. Moreover, its interdisciplinary nature and underdevelopment of teaching resources makes assimilation by students difficult. In this paper we present an educational experience based on a constructivist learning model of problem solving methodology it is put into practice in the subject of Introduction to HCI (INHCI), a compulsory course that currently forms part of the HCI curricula at the University of Lleida (Spain…
