Description: Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) is an increasingly used methodology in HCI which captures an individual's experiences, typically digitally. The benefits of EMA include: reducing recall bias with ‘in-the-moment’ measurement; improving ecological validity with ‘in-the-context’ measurement and enabling exploration of the dynamic interplay of variables from repeated measurement. This course will teach participants about EMA by providing hands-on practical skill development in how to use off-the-shelf software to develop their own EMA system. At the end of the course, participants will be able to rapidly prototype and run custom EMA studies securely and at scale without the usual associated costs.

Description: Structural equation models (SEMs) are statistical techniques that help to identify models of latent variables in survey data. This allows
researchers to test both the quality of the measurement instrument—the survey—as well as the hypothesized relationships using a single model. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) is a subset of SEM that works well with small sample sizes and non-parametric data, which frequently occur in HCI research. In this course, we will provide a short introduction into SEMinR, an open-source library for the R language. SEMinR is an easy-to-use domain-specific language for defining, estimating, visualizing, and validating SEMs using the PLS method. SEMinR provides means for scientific reporting and can be used by academics and practitioners alike.

Description: In a time of rapidly-changing global digital immersion, what can the past tell us? More than you might think. Not everything remains relevant, but technology still collides with unchanging human nature, challenges still arise in collaborating across disciplines, we still must integrate UX, Design, and AI. We should understand how unanticipated consequences emerged. We often see positive potential but not negative consequences. HCI draws on computer science, human factors, information systems, and information science. Design is integral. We interact with AI. You are on a trajectory into the future. I identify significant elements that you can consider and address.

Description: There is evidence that nearly half of the children born in industrialized economies will live beyond 100 years old. While aging populations are not occurring at the same pace in every nation, nearly all nations are experiencing longer lifespans. There will be one in five people in Africa, Asia, and South America over the age of 60 by 2050. Globally, there may be more adults over 60 than children under 15 by 2047. [1] Among the most marginalized groups, older adults are the fastest growing. Each of us will be a member of this group someday. Participants will be provided with objects that simulate visual impairments and arthritis. These aim to generate empathy to understand how older adults may experience the same websites and interactions differently due to their physical limitations, and will also explore ways in which the current interactions can be made better keeping this population in mind.
Do we believe that when we are over the age of 70, we will be able to book a cab and buy groceries online with the same ease as we do today? Do we think older adults are comfortable using technology they are expected to use to perform tasks necessary to function in today's world? Have you ever wondered why older adults need to click on a touchscreen multiple times in order to successfully complete a task? This course will equip you with the tools you need to empathize with the pain points older adults have while navigating the web as well as brainstorm and apply techniques that can make their experience better.

Description: As we design and build increasingly sophisticated systems, they’re going to have large pieces that will be AI/ML powered. This course is about how we can take on the challenge of building systems that are AI-based, yet work in ways that are understandable by humans. We’ll take on issues of capabilities, fairness, interpretability, and accountability. We’ll come to learn about what AI systems can (and cannot) do, about what kinds of mental models people have about such systems, and what we can do to design a user experience to make these systems comprehensible. Ultimately, this is a class about the intersection of human intelligence with artificial intelligence—the two don’t necessarily fit well together, and each makes unexpected demands on the other. As we design and build out AI-based systems, we will need to have our own deep understanding of the materials of AI, and understand what’s possible.

Description: This course takes both a practical and theoretical approach to introduce the principles, methods and tools for including “non-standards” properties to interactive systems and interaction technologies. The course will focus on safety, dependability and security but will encompass other contributing factors such as privacy, availability and trustworthiness and relate them to HCI-centric properties such as User Experience and Usability. The course will cover design, implementation and evaluation activities to assess these properties. A special attention will be made on how the properties are competing with one another in terms of knowledge of designers and resources required at development time. To paraphrase Susan Dray: “if it is not usable, it does not work” this course will argue that “if it does not work (i.e. not dependable) it is not usable” or “if it is not safe, it is not usable”. The concepts in this course will be supported by multiple concrete examples taken from industries including autonomous cars, aircraft cockpits, large command and control systems but also research labs prototypes targeting at deploying technologies in real-life settings.
