Message from the Tutorials Co-Chairs
Tutorials offer Mobile HCI participants opportunities to learn about mobile HCI concepts, methods and techniques from recognised experts. Introductory tutorials help newcomers to get acquainted in the mobile HCI area whereas advanced tutorials provide in-depth knowledge to professionals already familiar with the basics.
The tutorials can introduce new human-centred design practices, such as design guidelines, design methodologies, or evaluation approaches and methodologies. The tutorials can also give overviews of current state-of-art in different mobile technologies, applications and services or user interface paradigms. Participatory approaches are recommended, so that tutorial participants can learn by doing themselves.

About Tutorials
Tutorials will be held parallel to the workshops on 12th of September 2006. Both one-day and half-day tutorials can be organised, and the tutorials can be introductory, intermediate or advanced, depending on the targeted audience. Tutorials will be selected on the basis of the relevance, timeliness and audience appeal of the subject. Other evaluation criteria include the quality of the proposal, the expected benefits to the participants and fit within the overall programme. Also the suitability for presentation in a half-day or full-day format, use of appropriate presentation methods and exercises and past experience and qualifications of the instructors will be taken into account. Tutorials that advocate a single avenue of research or promote a product will NOT be considered.
