Teaching End-User Development in the Time of IoT and AI

The combination of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made it possible to introduce numerous automations in our daily environments. Many new interesting possibilities and opportunities have been enabled, but there are also risks and problems. Often these problems originated from approaches that have not been able to consider the users' viewpoint sufficiently. We need to empower people in order to actually understand the automations in their surroundings environments, modify them, and create new ones, even if they have no programming knowledge. It is thus important that the curricula of programs in several disciplines (artificial intelligence, computer science, human-computer interaction, psychology, design,.) discuss these problems and some possible solutions able to provide people with the possibility to control and create their daily automations. In this paper I propose a possible way to organise and structure teaching of the concepts, methods and tools for this purpose, and which can be adopted in the relevant curricula.
