Narrative Scaffolding: A Narrative-First Framework for Data-Driven Sensemaking

When exploring data, analysts construct narratives about what the data means by asking questions, generating visualizations, reflecting on patterns, and revising their interpretations as new insights emerge. Yet existing analysis tools treat narrative as an afterthought, breaking the link between reasoning, reflection…

Teaching Spell Checkers to Teach: Pedagogical Program Synthesis for Interactive Learning

Spelling taught through memorization often fails many learners, particularly children with language-based learning disorders who struggle with the phonological skills necessary to spell words accurately. Educators such as speech-language pathologists (SLPs) address this instructional gap by using an inquiry-based appr…

Script2Screen: Supporting Dialogue-Centric Scriptwriting with Interactive Audiovisual Generation

Scriptwriting has traditionally been text-centric, a modality that only partially conveys the produced audiovisual experience. A formative study with professional writers informed us that connecting textual and audiovisual modalities can aid ideation and iteration, especially for writing dialogues. In this work, we pr…

AI and My Values: User Perceptions of LLMs’ Ability to Extract, Embody, and Explain Human Values from Casual Conversations

Does AI understand human values? While this remains an open philosophical question, we take a pragmatic stance by introducing VAPT, the Value-Alignment Perception Toolkit, for studying how LLMs reflect people's values and how people judge those reflections. 20 participants texted a chatbot over a month, then completed…

DuoMorph: Synergistic Integration of FDM Printing and Pneumatic Actuation for Shape-Changing Interfaces

We introduce DuoMorph, a design and fabrication method that synergistically integrates Fused Deposition Modeling(FDM) printing and pneumatic actuation to create novel shape-changing interfaces. In DuoMorph, the printed structures and heat-sealed pneumatic elements are mutually designed to actuate and constrain each ot…

Multiplicity in Practice: Glitching the Human In/Through Personal Sensing

The commitment to multiplicity and pluriversality challenges design to move beyond singular, stable conceptions of the human. Personal sensing systems offer a rich site for examining this challenge because in mediating the human experience, they constitute the human, although typically as a bounded, rational subject.…

Starting From Scratch Again and Again: Tracing the Origins of High Schoolers’ Negative Perceptions of Block-Based Programming

As K–12 computer science expands in the United States, students encounter a growing array of programming tools. Many introductory experiences use block-based environments, where programs are assembled by snapping together visual blocks instead of typing code. While these tools can support learning, high school student…

Exploring the Future of AI in Clinical Collaboration: A Study on Tumor Board Case Preparation

Multidisciplinary tumor boards (MTBs) bring specialists together to identify therapies for complex cancer cases, but preparing for them is time-intensive. Clinicians must extract key details from extensive records and evaluate treatment options. While large language models (LLMs) show promise in medicine for basic tas…

AI in Webtoon Creation: Challenges, Perceptions, and Design Implications

While generative AI is rapidly advancing in creative industries, its adoption in webtoons---a mobile-first digital comics format---remains contentious. In this exploratory study, we conducted interviews with nine readers, four creators, and six platform stakeholders to examine the sociotechnical dynamics of AI integra…

From Symptoms to Systems: An Expert-Guided Approach to Understanding Risks of Generative AI for Eating Disorders

Generative AI systems may pose serious risks to individuals vulnerable to eating disorders. Existing safeguards tend to overlook subtle but clinically significant cues, leaving many risks unaddressed. To better understand the nature of these risks, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 15 clinicians, researcher…
