      The centerpieces of the Interaction-Design.org are their online design courses, their local chapters in more than 150 countries, and their peer reviewed Encyclopedia of Human-Computer Interaction, which currently holds 40+ textbooks written by 100+ leading designers and professors as well as commentaries and HD video interviews shot around the world.
      The platform features professional and academic textbooks, online courses, video lectures, local chapters in more than 150 countries, and a comprehensive bibliography of the most authoritative publications within the design of interactive technology.
      In June 2013, the Interaction Design Foundation launched a 4 year 35,000 mile bike tour, named "Share the Knowledge Tour", to raise awareness of the rising cost of education - with weekly events on university campuses.
      Financial sponsors include the German software company SAP. Authors include Harvard professor Clayton Christensen and New York Times bestselling author, Robert Spence who invented the "magnifying glass" visualization that is familiar to anyone with an iPhone or iMac, and Stu Card who performed the research that led to the computer mouse's commercial introduction by Xerox.
