When a child is admitted to the hospital with a critical illness, their family must adapt and manage care and stress. HCI and Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) technologies have shown the potential for collaborative technologies to support and ...

Various tools and approaches are available to support undergraduate students learning to program. Most of them concentrate on the code and aim to ease the visualization of data structures or guide the debugging. However, in undergraduate introductory ...

In this paper, we explore how computing device use by people with upper extremity impairment (UEI) was affected by COVID-19. Someone with UEI has reduced use of their shoulders, upper arms, forearms, hands, and/or fingers. We conducted six (6) semi-...

To provide accessible but also usable web interfaces to people with low vision (PLV), academics and regulators provide guidelines in the form of adaptation techniques, as well as adaptable interfaces. Following these recommendations, practitioners ...

This panel reflects on the conditions of collaboration as well as the possibilities of solidarity between academic and tech workers by drawing on the experiences of panelists who have pondered questions of ethics, responsibility and values in ...

As increasingly powerful natural language generation, representation, and understanding models are developed, made available and deployed across numerous downstream applications, many researchers and practitioners have warned about possible adverse ...

An ongoing challenge within the HCI community is coming to a shared understanding of research ethics in the face of our diverse disciplinary traditions, evolving technologies and methods, and multiple geographic and cultural settings. Building upon ...

As concerns around climate change escalate, the need to address the environmental impacts of computing becomes more dire. While urgent action is needed, there is also opportunity to rectify longstanding inequities and injustices present in the ...

Care work is often moralized as essential to the functioning of society, but has long been undervalued economically and politically, contributing to a global care crisis and prompting increased control and extraction of care work to stabilize ...

The majority of online video content remains inaccessible for blind people due to the lack of audio descriptions. Content creators have traditionally relied on professionals to author audio descriptions, but their service is costly and not readily ...

Specialized software tools have become essential to many forms of content creation, yet poor accessibility of these tools has led to unequitable opportunities for disabled content creators. My doctoral research contributes to our knowledge of ...

Personas has evolved since Alan Cooper coined the term in 1999, moving into new domains, new ways of collecting data, and with novel ways of presenting the persona profiles. From the beginning, personas was linked to software design, expressing the need ...

The challenge of writing good research papers is to communicate a significant and original contribution that benefits human-computer interaction, specifically the CHI community. Researchers have to communicate the validity of their work adequately and ...

Research methods are a foundational part of an education in human-computer interaction. This education is not always provided, and what training is available may not always be focused on the most relevant topics for this diverse field. This course aims ...

Transparent research practices enable the research design, materials, analytic methods, and data to be thoroughly evaluated and potentially reproduced. The HCI community has recognized research transparency as one quality aspect of paper submission and ...

During meetings, one person is often the owner of the whiteboard or PowerPoint to sketch the problem or idea. This person commonly “owns” the meeting leading to passive meeting moments for others. In this course, we will bring the whiteboard to the ...

Human-computer interaction has entered a third, globally-connected era. The initial focus on making computers usable was followed by efforts to realize visions of the potential, with CHI a key player. Those visions are realized, yielding new ...

In tech, women and people of color consistently report being ignored, devalued, and perceived as less competent than men. But if all members of diverse teams do not feel valued and connected, team performance and innovation are undermined. This course ...

The course proposed here will focus on design and accessibility considerations for wearable technology. In this course we will explore how to develop a robust set of design and accessibility considerations (guidelines) for wearable technology. The ...

Sketching is a universal activity that first appears when we play as children, but later, it is often overlooked as a useful skill in adult work – yet it can bring multiple benefits to research and practice. Specifically, our field of Human-Computer ...
