  • Abstract
    Human-computer interaction is one of the most promising research areas in computer science. In emergent countries like Colombia, this area is just beginning to be further developed. However, there´s a gap between what is being taught in universities and what is needed in practice in software companies. Here, the authors discuss a survey they conducted in Colombia regarding HCI education versus software developer needs.
