Prof Peter Wright Art and Design Research Centre Sheffield Hallam University, UK Title "Experience-centred design: Progress and prospects? Abstract The concept of user experience and experience design has been with us in HCI research since the late nineties. But how much of a difference has it made to HCI theory and practice? In 2003, John McCarthy and I published Technology as Experience in which we tried to lay some foundations for developing an approach to experience-centred design. In 2004, I received EPSRC funding to explore research at the intersection of the arts, humanities and interaction design and to develop theory and method for experience-centred design. In this talk I will report on progress towards these goals and critically reflect on experience-centred design in HCI research more generally. Further enquiries to: Assoc.

Abstract Desktop (fish tank) virtual reality systems use a traditional display screen to provide a window (portal) into a computer simulated world. The sense of reality conveyed by such systems can be improved by tracking the position of the viewer's head and adjusting the view of the simulated world to match. We are currently developing a variety of techniques for head tracking and exploring the extent to which the resulting information can be used to strengthen the viewer's impression that they are actually looking through a window into a 3D world. This talk will describe two approaches that use cheap and commonly available hardware: the webcam that is built into many current desktop systems, and the Wii Remote that is part of the Nintendo Wii games console. The work is part of a larger scale project that is using VR techniques to aid in the rehabilitation of patients recovering from brain trauma. Bio Paul Calder is Associate Professor in the School of Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics at Flinders University. His research interests are in the area of computer human interaction (particularly information visualisation and virtual reality) and software engineering (particular design patterns).

(pro rata) plus employer superannuation contributions of 9% A two-year (0.5FTE) or a one year (1 FTE) position is available for a Senior Research Associate to work on an Australian-Research-Council-funded project ?Cross-Community Information Systems: Understanding Technology-Practice Fit in Healthcare?. The Senior Research Associate will work in collaboration with the investigators A/Prof Rens Scheepers, A/Prof Steve Howard, Prof. Liz Sonenberg (The University of Melbourne), and partner investigators Prof. Robert Johnston (University College Dublin), and Prof. Sioban Nelson (University of Toronto). Australia is investing hundreds of millions of dollars in e-health initiatives. Much of that money is spent on the technical side of 'connecting things up'. However, success in e-health delivery also depends crucially on meeting the diverse human needs of the stakeholder groups that will interact through these interconnected systems. This project studies these systems' use and usability issues in two very different practice communities within the health system. Discoveries made from the specific healthcare setting will have broader application to other areas where large scale, decentralized, information systems are transforming social institutions, such as emergency services, education, and multinational business. The position will require a wide range of skills and experience, including understanding the theoretical framework that drives the study, interviewing participants (e.g. health practitioners, caregivers, and patients and their families), and qualitative data analysis. Maturity, sophisticated interviewing skills, and the capacity to relate to the health care context are essential. These abilities are likely to be possessed by someone with significant prior research experience. Position Description & Selection Criteria Date advertised: 15 Jul 2008 Aus.

Please join us for some nibbles and drinks before the seminar at 3pm*** PRESENTER: Daryl Ku TITLE: Learner-Computer Interaction: An Investigation of Computer-Supported Self-Regulated Learning in an Australian PhD Context VENUE: University of Melbourne, IDEA LAB, level 4, 111 Barry Street, Carlton DATE and TIME: Friday 1st August 2008, 3.15-4 pm (Nibbles and drinks from 3 to 3.15 pm) ABSTRACT: My proposed research is broadly aimed at advancing an understanding of learning in a computer-based context. The term learning here is used without the connotations of teaching. As computer-based education is predominantly underpinned by teaching priorities and concerns, this is an important distinction to make as the resulting implications necessitate a different approach to understanding the interaction issues that ensue. The proposed research seeks to investigate how self-regulated learners use computers to support the enhancement of their learning performance. For pragmatic reasons, this research will be situated in the context of an Australian PhD degree. This approach is distinct from how computers can induce learning. The self-regulated learning literature in the learning sciences sees the learner as a proactive individual capable of strategically directing his/her efforts towards the acquisition of knowledge. In particular, it does not see learning as something that happens to a person. This perspective of learning is especially relevant to learning in non-curriculum-based contexts, such as that of an Australian PhD degree. This context signifies PhD candidates must self-regulate their learning and do so strategically in order to complete in a timely fashion. As very little is presently known about PhD candidates? learning endeavours and how they use the computer to support the enhancement of their learning performance, my proposed research will be an exploration of these issues. My investigation will be theoretically informed by the literature on self-regulated learning and this investigation will be in terms of learning intent, use of self-regulated learning strategies and the computer-based support of such strategies. BIO: Daryl Ku is a PhD candidate in the Interaction Design Group at the Department of Information Systems. His research interest is in the area of Human-Computer Interaction in an educational context. Please forward to others if interested.
