Abstract

We present the experience in designing and teaching a graduate level ubiquitous computing (Ubicomp) course at Arizona State University. It identifies some of the challenges in teaching an Ubicomp course and presents some solutions. This course was designed for students with no prior exposure to Ubicomp or experience in human computer interaction; and to have minimal overlap with a mobile computing course. Both anonymous end-of-semester and openly solicited feedback indicate that the class was successful in conveying the vision, challenges, and techniques of Ubicomp to a majority of students.
