Today there is an increasing emphasis on technology in the learning process. There may therefore be benefit in considering how lessons from Human Computer Interaction (HCI) can be applied to improve student engagement in learning. HCI provides many relevant theories that are significant in the context of learning and retrieval of knowledge as well as influences that are significant in relation to pedagogies. Research, including work on making training and technology interactive, suggests that when users are properly cognitively involved, engaged, and challenged the outcomes are better. Challenges include creating memorable learning experiences to encourage long lasting mental representations that enhance learning.
