Redesigning Educational Videos for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Learners

Educational videos are widely used, but accessibility guidelines beyond captions for d/Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) learners remain limited. Mayer's multimedia learning theory assumes visual-auditory dual-channel processing, yet DHH learners with limited access to the auditory channel have distinct visual abilities…

Inclusive Emotion Technologies: Addressing the Needs of d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing Learners in Video-Based Learning

Accessibility efforts for d/Deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) learners in video-based learning have mainly focused on captions and interpreters, with limited attention to learners' emotional awareness--an important yet challenging skill for effective learning. Current emotion technologies are designed to support learners…

From Scores to Careers: Understanding AI’s Role in Supporting Collaborative Family Decision-Making in Chinese College Applications

This study investigates how 18-year-old students, parents, and experts in China utilize artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support decision-making in college applications during college entrance exam- a highly competitive, score-driven, annual national exam. Through 32 interviews, we examine the use of Quark GaoKao…

How AI Processing Delays Foster Creativity: Exploring Research Question Co-Creation with an LLM-based Agent

Developing novel research questions (RQs) often requires extensive literature reviews, especially in interdisciplinary fields. To support RQ development through human-AI co-creation, we leveraged Large Language Models (LLMs) to build an LLM-based agent system named CoQuest. We conducted an experiment with 20 HCI resea…

Towards Inclusive Video Commenting: Introducing Signmaku for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing

Previous research underscored the potential of danmaku: a text-based commenting feature on videos for engaging hearing audiences. However, many Deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) users prioritize American Sign Language (ASL) over English. To improve inclusivity, we introduce Signmaku, a commenting mechanism that uses ASL…

MirrorUs: Mirroring Peers' Affective Cues to Promote Learner's Meta-Cognition in Video-based Learning

Learners' awareness of their own affective states (affects) can improve their meta-cognition, which is a critical skill of being aware of and controlling one's cognitive, motivational, and affect, and adjusting their learning strategies and behaviors accordingly. To investigate the effect of AI-generated peers' affec…

CrowdIDEA: Blending Crowd Intelligence and Data Analytics to Empower Causal Reasoning

Causal reasoning is crucial for people to understand data, make decisions, or take action. However, individuals often have blind spots and overlook alternative hypotheses, and using only data is insufficient for causal reasoning. We designed and implemented CrowdIDEA, a novel tool consisting of a three-panel integrati…

Examining Interactions Between Community Members and University Safety Organizations through Community-Sourced Risk Systems

An increasing number of safety departments in organizations across the U.S. are offering mobile apps that allow their local community members to report potential risks, such as hazards, suspicious events, ongoing incidents, and crimes. These ``community-sourced risk'' systems are designed for the safety departments to…

Narratives + Diagrams: An Integrated Approach for Externalizing and Sharing People’s Causal Beliefs

Causal knowledge is of interest in many areas, such as statistics and machine learning, as it allows people and algorithms to predict outcomes and make data-driven decisions. Researchers in CSCW have proposed tools and workflows to externalize causal knowledge or beliefs from a group of people; however, most of the ge…
