Searching for the Non-Consequential: Dialectical Activities in HCI and the Limits of Computers

This paper examines the pervasiveness of consequentialist thinking in human-computer interaction (HCI), and forefronts the value of non-consequential, dialectical activities in human life. Dialectical activities are human endeavors in which the value of the activity is intrinsic to itself, including being a good frien…

Orchestration Scripts: A System for Encoding an Organization’s Ways of Working to Support Situated Work

Ill-structured problems demand that people adopt sophisticated strategies for planning, seeking support, and using available resources along their work process. These practices involve a challenging monitoring and strategizing process that existing tools cannot support since they largely lack an understanding of an or…

Understanding the Practices and Challenges of Networked Orchestration in Research Communities of Practice

Work and learning communities have become increasingly networked to support their members in developing the skills to solve complex, real-world problems. Though disciplinary knowledge remains important to tackle these problems, working effectively in these modern-day communities of practice demands the ability for one…

Affinder: Expressing Concepts of Situations that Afford Activities using Context-Detectors

Context-aware applications have the potential to act opportunistically to facilitate human experiences and activities, from reminding us of places to perform personal activities, to identifying coincidental moments to engage in digitally-mediated shared experiences. However, despite the availability of context-detecto…

Opportunistic Collective Experiences: Identifying Shared Situations and Structuring Shared Activities at Distance

Despite many available social technologies for connecting at a distance, we don’t always find opportunities to actively engage with friends and loved ones, even though this kind of interaction is associated with reduced loneliness and increased social closeness. To meet our need for active engagement and to fit desire…

4X: A Hybrid Approach for Scaffolding Data Collection and Interest in Low-Effort Participatory Sensing

Participatory sensing systems in which people actively participate in the data collection process must account for both the needs of data contributors and the data collection goals. Existing approaches tend to emphasize one or the other, with opportunistic and directed approaches making opposing tradeoffs between prov…

Ply: A Visual Web Inspector for Learning from Professional Webpages

While many online resources teach basic web development, few are designed to help novices learn the CSS concepts and design patterns experts use to implement complex visual features. Professional webpages embed these design patterns and could serve as rich learning materials, but their stylesheets are complex and diff…

Hit-or-Wait: Coordinating Opportunistic Low-effort Contributions to Achieve Global Outcomes in On-the-go Crowdsourcing

We consider the challenge of motivating and coordinating large numbers of people to contribute to solving local, communal problems through their existing routines. In order to design such "on-the-go crowdsourcing" systems, there is a need for mechanisms that can effectively coordinate contributions to address problem…
