This special issue of the IxD&A journal intends to expand the discussion?that took place during the workshop HCI@Large
(http://www.architettura.uniss.it/chitaly2011/index.php/eng/Workshops/HCI-at
-Large)
HCI@Large was workshop promoted by the IFIP WG 13.1 and is part of?CHItaly 2011.

SPECIAL ISSUE BACKGROUND
------------------------
The design of services/artefacts/environments for the mediated
communication has traditionally required the integration of cognitive
science, computer science and engineering; with the time more and more
relevance has also been given to sociology, anthropology, industrial
design and, more recently, also to the design for the experience and to
the architecture. This is due to the embodiment of the machine within
spaces that are becoming increasingly sensitive and co-evolutionary,
because of the miniaturization of the machine that allows us to dispose
at any time of powerful mobile devices and, finally, it is because of
the growing awareness of the experiential nature of any complex
communication process.
From an educational point of view all this provokes effects of various
kinds: it requires the development of new visions, paradigms and
educational processes; it requires a modification, or rather an
enlargement, of contents and focus of the educational processes;
requires the development of new didactic methods. Unavoidably the
educational contexts involved with the interaction between human and
machine is more and more enlarged and now involve almost any kind of
design courses, and even those on architecture. Technological
progresses, in addition, had another effect, perhaps not so immediately
obvious to those who are not 'Digital Native': the educational processes
should no any longer take place within a physical space but can be
delocalized/virtualized and develop within mixed environments; this, as
well, requires a redefinition of educational paradigms and the
development of new processes and methods.
It is quite evident that we are experiencing a period of increasingly
convergence and complexity, and that we urge to favor a debate on
visions, processes and methods that should involve not only the areas
traditionally interested in the study of human-machine interaction but
also design, architecture, technology enhanced education, etc..
*** We are looking for top level contributions that could serve to
compose a reference book for those (teachers, students, etc.) that in
the future will be involved in education to the new frontiers of the
Human-Machine Interaction***
