Child-Computer Interaction: A Featured Community at the Upcoming CHI 2011 Conference! |
| Child-Computer Interaction: A Featured Community at the Upcoming CHI 2011 Conference! Posted: 01 Oct 2010 08:58 PM PDT Last year, I attended CHI 2010 and participated in a workshop about the next generation of HCI and education. It was a wonderful opportunity to share ideas with people from all over the world who are interested in emerging technologies, kids, and education. I plan to attend CHI 2011 in Vancouver, Canada next May 7-11, and even though the conference is months away, I can barely wait. The good news it that the Child-Computer Interaction community will have an important presence at the 2011 ACM CHI conference. I wanted to share a little bit about this development on this blog. During CHI 2010, I signed up for the "Designing for the iChild" course. In one afternoon, I learned more than I had expected, especially the technique called "Layered Elaboration", a collaborative design strategy that involves inter-generational teams of children and adults. One of the leaders of this course was Allison Druin, Associate Professor and director of the Human-Computer Interaction Lab at the University of Maryland. Dr. Druin's focus is in the area of child-computer interaction and how children can be meaningfully involved as partners in the design process. The quote below, found on the HCIL Children as Design Partners website, explains why this is so important: "We have a chance to change technology, but more importantly we have a chance to change the life of a child. Every time a new technology enables a child to do something they never dreamed of, there are new possibilities for the future." -Allison Druin In my work as a school psychologist, I use technology with students quite often, especially when I'm at Wolfe, a program for students who have more complex disabilities, including severe autism. I have been fortunate to have a new SMARTBoard at my fingertips, and access to the school's SMARTtable. I learn from my students every day. I believe that we are only at the "tip of the iceberg" with this sort of technology- and related applications such as the iPad and similar devices. In my experience, well designed technologies and applications can open up a meaningful window to the world for children, teens, and others with disabilities. Most of the information below was taking from the CHI 2011 conference website: About the Child-Computer Interaction (CCI) community: "At CHI, the CCI community will want to attract papers and contributions that represent real advances in the understanding of, or development and refinement of methods for, child computer interaction. It will also seek to unearth groundbreaking innovations addressing the needs, capabilities and preferences of children that have the potential to become reference works for developments in this field." "By its very nature, The CCI community will have to be divergent in its thinking at CHI; it must also be about two of the mainstream CHI communities – engineering and design, but will potentially also be concerned with many of the communities of technologies (Smart devices, surfaces, mobile), of experiences (Play, Learning, Communication) and of methods (participatory design, evaluation)." .... "Child Computer Interaction is a new community for CHI. It is a place for contributions where a method or a design is proposed that is especially suited to children and that could not sensibly be easily adapted for adults. We are keen to have contributions to all the usual CHI tracks but are also offering four special tracks for our own extra special community. These are: • Child Partnership Projects (CPP): A design competition for teams that include children. • Participatory Papers: Scholarly publications that are disseminated for children readers. (i.e. written in a different way) • Lessons from the Trenches: Targeting industrial cases and experiences. A lively venue where experiences can be exchanged, and researchers can be exposed to the realities of industrial practice in this domain. • Theatre pieces: High quality video contributions, available in a library after the conference, of methods that can be re used and learned from."

| UPDATE: Getting beyond "Ad-Hoc" Ubiquity: Content Centered Networking at PARC Posted: 27 Sep 2010 03:47 PM PDT I recently blogged about some interesting work going on at PARC, "Get what you want, faster, through content-centered networks: Video - Jim Thornton, PARC" After I published the post, I received a comment from someone from PARC with links to additional technical presentations about innovations in networking. Van Jacobson Explains It All If you are interested in ubiquitous & pervasive computing - and creating seamless user experiences across locations and devices, it is well worth the 90-minute watch. 2006 PRESENTATION In the video below, Van Jacobson talks about ubiquitous computing, wireless, networking, research, and the challenges of making everything synced and seamlessly inter-operative in the future. In this video, Van Jacobson provides a good overview of the history of the communications/networking industry, and much, much more. Although the presentation was given in 2006, it is well worth the time. A NEW WAY TO LOOK AT NETWORKING Here's info about Van Johnson and abstract of the talk from the Google Tech Talks website: "Google Tech Talks August 30, 2006 Van Jacobson is a Research Fellow at PARC. Prior to that he was Chief Scientist and co-founder of Packet Design. Prior to that he was Chief Scientist at Cisco. Prior to that he was head of the Network Research group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He's been studying networking since 1969. He still hopes that someday something will start to make sense." ABSTRACT "Today's research community congratulates itself for the success of the internet and passionately argues whether circuits or datagrams are the One True Way. Meanwhile the list of unsolved problems grows. Security, mobility, ubiquitous computing, wireless, autonomous sensors, content distribution, digital divide, third world infrastructure, etc., are all poorly served by what's available from either the research community or the marketplace. I'll use various strained analogies and contrived examples to argue that network research is moribund because the only thing it knows how to do is fill in the details of a conversation between two applications. Today as in the 60s problems go unsolved due to our tunnel vision and not because of their intrinsic difficulty. And now, like then, simply changing our point of view may make many hard things easy."
