So far, this website features the beginnings of a free, open-content, peer-reviewed Encyclopedia covering terms from the disciplines of Interaction Design, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Design, Human Factors, Usability, Information Architecture, and related fields. By using the Creative Commons Copyright Licence, the Encyclopedia is in effect the property of the Interaction Design community, not of this specific website.
If qualified, you may help contribute to the encyclopedia or other ways to help.
This website was made because there are very few high-quality online resources providing introductory materials to the disciplines mentioned above. Few resources go beyond very practical observations, for example within web usability, and none introduce the underlying terms and research in a systematic fashion.
"No matter how beautiful, no matter how cool your interface, it would be better if there were less of it."
