&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The HCIL has an open, semi-organized weekly &amp;quot;brown bag lunch (BBL)&amp;quot; every &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;Thursdays from 12:30-1:30pm in HCIL (2105 Hornbake, South Wing)&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.  The topics range from someone&#039;s work, current interests in the HCIL, software demos/reviews, study design, proposed research topics, introductions to new people, etc.   The BBL is the one hour a week where we all come together--thus, it’s a unique time for HCIL members with unique opportunities to help build collaborations, increase awareness of each other’s activities, and generally just have a bit of fun together with &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;free food every week&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;. There is no RSVP; simply show up! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you would like to give or suggest a talk, presentation, workshop, etc., send an email to BBL student co-coordinators &#039;&#039;&#039;Austin Beck  (austinbb@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Leyla Norooz (leylan@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039;. In the email, briefly describe the topic and preferred dates.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Abstract&#039;&#039;&#039;: The Tactile Picture Book Project (TPBP) is a research endeavor that utilizes 3D printing as a new media platform for designing, developing, and distributing information in a tangible format. The mission of TPBP is to give children with visual impairments access to a lot more pictures they can &amp;quot;see&amp;quot; by touch and feel. To date, the TPBP team has made 3D adaptations for several children&#039;s book classics such as Goodnight Moon, Harold and the Purple Crayon, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Dear Zoo, and Noah&#039;s Ark. In this talk, Yeh will demonstrate examples of 3D pictures, discuss the technical challenges encountered in creating these pictures, and share the many valuable lessons learned through the process. In addition, Yeh will present CraftML, a new 3D modeling markup language designed to mimic common web technologies including HTML5, CSS, and Javascript. CraftML allows web designers without prior 3D modeling experience to easily bring their creative talents and design skills to the domain of 3D modeling. The TPBP is supported by a research grant from the National Science Foundation and has appeared in several news outlets such as 9News, Newsweek, DailyCamera, DailyMail, New Scientist, Science Daily, and NPR.

Working on ENIAC: The Lost Labors of the Information Age&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Abstract&#039;&#039;&#039;: Books and shows about the history of information technology have usually focused on great inventors and technical breakthroughs, from Charles Babbage and Alan Turing to Steve Jobs and the World Wide Web. Computer operations work has been written out of the story, but without it no computer would be useful. Information historians Thomas Haigh and Mark Priestley are writing it back in. This talk focused on ENIAC, the first general purpose electronic computer, based on research for their book ENIAC in Action: Making and Remaking the Modern Computer, published by MIT Press in January, 2016. They explains that the women now celebrated as the “first computer programmers” were actually hired as computer operators and worked hands-on with the machine around the clock. They then look at business data processing work from the 1950s onward, exploring the grown of operations and facilities work during the mainframe era. Concluding comments relate this historical material to the human work and physical infrastructure today vanishing from public view into the “cloud.”&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Bio&#039;&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
Thomas Haigh received his Ph.D. in History and Sociology of Science from the University of Pennsylvania after earning two degrees in Computer Science from the University of Manchester. Haigh has published on many aspects of the history of computing including the evolution of data base management systems, word processing, the software package concept, corporate computer departments, Internet software, computing in science fiction, computer architecture, and the gendered division of work in data processing. As well as ENIAC in Action (MIT, 2016) he edited Histories of Computing (Harvard, 2011), a collection of the work of Michael S. Mahoney. He write the “Historical Reflections” column for Communications of the ACM. His new projects are an reexamination of the wartime Colossus codebreaking machine and a book, Acolytes of Information, on the history of information systems work in the American corporation.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The HCIL has an open, semi-organized weekly &amp;quot;brown bag lunch (BBL)&amp;quot; every &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;Thursdays from 12:30-1:30pm in HCIL (2105 Hornbake, South Wing)&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.  The topics range from someone&#039;s work, current interests in the HCIL, software demos/reviews, study design, proposed research topics, introductions to new people, etc.   The BBL is the one hour a week where we all come together--thus, it’s a unique time for HCIL members with unique opportunities to help build collaborations, increase awareness of each other’s activities, and generally just have a bit of fun together with &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;free food every week&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;. There is no RSVP; simply show up! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you would like to give or suggest a talk, presentation, workshop, etc., send an email to BBL student co-coordinators &#039;&#039;&#039;Austin Beck  (austinbb@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Leyla Norooz (leylan@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039;. In the email, briefly describe the topic and preferred dates.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Abstract&#039;&#039;&#039;: Books and shows about the history of information technology have usually focused on great inventors and technical breakthroughs, from Charles Babbage and Alan Turing to Steve Jobs and the World Wide Web. Computer operations work has been written out of the story, but without it no computer would be useful. Information historians Thomas Haigh and Mark Priestley are writing it back in. This talk focused on ENIAC, the first general purpose electronic computer, based on research for their book ENIAC in Action: Making and Remaking the Modern Computer, published by MIT Press in January, 2016. They explains that the women now celebrated as the “first computer programmers” were actually hired as computer operators and worked hands-on with the machine around the clock. They then look at business data processing work from the 1950s onward, exploring the grown of operations and facilities work during the mainframe era. Concluding comments relate this historical material to the human work and physical infrastructure today vanishing from public view into the “cloud.”&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Bio&#039;&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
Thomas Haigh received his Ph.D. in History and Sociology of Science from the University of Pennsylvania after earning two degrees in Computer Science from the University of Manchester. Haigh has published on many aspects of the history of computing including the evolution of data base management systems, word processing, the software package concept, corporate computer departments, Internet software, computing in science fiction, computer architecture, and the gendered division of work in data processing. As well as ENIAC in Action (MIT, 2016) he edited Histories of Computing (Harvard, 2011), a collection of the work of Michael S. Mahoney. He write the “Historical Reflections” column for Communications of the ACM. His new projects are an reexamination of the wartime Colossus codebreaking machine and a book, Acolytes of Information, on the history of information systems work in the American corporation.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The HCIL has an open, semi-organized weekly &amp;quot;brown bag lunch (BBL)&amp;quot; every &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;Thursdays from 12:30-1:30pm in HCIL (2105 Hornbake, South Wing)&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.  The topics range from someone&#039;s work, current interests in the HCIL, software demos/reviews, study design, proposed research topics, introductions to new people, etc.   The BBL is the one hour a week where we all come together--thus, it’s a unique time for HCIL members with unique opportunities to help build collaborations, increase awareness of each other’s activities, and generally just have a bit of fun together with &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;free food every week&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;. There is no RSVP; simply show up! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you would like to give or suggest a talk, presentation, workshop, etc., send an email to BBL student co-coordinators &#039;&#039;&#039;Austin Beck  (austinbb@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Leyla Norooz (leylan@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039;. In the email, briefly describe the topic and preferred dates.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The HCIL has an open, semi-organized weekly &amp;quot;brown bag lunch (BBL)&amp;quot; every &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;Thursdays from 12:30-1:30pm in HCIL (2105 Hornbake, South Wing)&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.  The topics range from someone&#039;s work, current interests in the HCIL, software demos/reviews, study design, proposed research topics, introductions to new people, etc.   The BBL is the one hour a week where we all come together--thus, it’s a unique time for HCIL members with unique opportunities to help build collaborations, increase awareness of each other’s activities, and generally just have a bit of fun together with &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;free food every week&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;. There is no RSVP; simply show up! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you would like to give or suggest a talk, presentation, workshop, etc., send an email to BBL student co-coordinators &#039;&#039;&#039;Austin Beck  (austinbb@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Leyla Norooz (leylan@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039;. In the email, briefly describe the topic and preferred dates.&lt;br /&gt;

Working on ENIAC: The Lost Labors of the Information Age&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Abstract&#039;&#039;&#039;: Books and shows about the history of information technology have usually focused on great inventors and technical breakthroughs, from Charles Babbage and Alan Turing to Steve Jobs and the World Wide Web. Computer operations work has been written out of the story, but without it no computer would be useful. Information historians Thomas Haigh and Mark Priestley are writing it back in. This talk focused on ENIAC, the first general purpose electronic computer, based on research for their book ENIAC in Action: Making and Remaking the Modern Computer, published by MIT Press in January, 2016. They explains that the women now celebrated as the “first computer programmers” were actually hired as computer operators and worked hands-on with the machine around the clock. They then look at business data processing work from the 1950s onward, exploring the grown of operations and facilities work during the mainframe era. Concluding comments relate this historical material to the human work and physical infrastructure today vanishing from public view into the “cloud.”&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Bio&#039;&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
Thomas Haigh received his Ph.D. in History and Sociology of Science from the University of Pennsylvania after earning two degrees in Computer Science from the University of Manchester. Haigh has published on many aspects of the history of computing including the evolution of data base management systems, word processing, the software package concept, corporate computer departments, Internet software, computing in science fiction, computer architecture, and the gendered division of work in data processing. As well as ENIAC in Action (MIT, 2016) he edited Histories of Computing (Harvard, 2011), a collection of the work of Michael S. Mahoney. He write the “Historical Reflections” column for Communications of the ACM. His new projects are an reexamination of the wartime Colossus codebreaking machine and a book, Acolytes of Information, on the history of information systems work in the American corporation.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;The HCIL has an open semi-organized weekly &amp;quot;brown bag lunch (BBL)&amp;quot; on every &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;Thursdays from 12:30-1:30pm in HCIL (2105 Hornbake, South Wing)&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.  The topics range from someone&#039;s work, current interest to the HCIL, a software demo/review, a study design, a proposed research topic, an introduction to a new person, etc.   The BBL is the one hour a week where we all come together--thus, it’s a unique time for HCIL members with unique opportunities to help build collaborations, increase awareness of each other’s activities, and generally just have a bit of fun together with &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;free food every week&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To sign up for a session, send an email to BBL student co-coordinator &#039;&#039;&#039;Arunesh Mathur  (amathur@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Daniel Pauw (dpauw@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039;. In the email, briefly describe the topic and preferred dates.&lt;br /&gt;

Two kids, one iPad&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Abstract: Multi-touch devices are starting to replace PCs as the dominant form of computing, particularly for children. As a result, serious efforts are underway to investigate and integrate tablets into the classroom. Most of these research efforts are software agnostic, assuming that the current software ecology is sufficient to realize and study the potential of the hardware. In such a research mode, it is natural to think of tablets as personal devices since the vast majority of software is built around that premise (e.g., tablets as ebooks). Can they be more? Can tablets support collaborative learning?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In this talk, I present a vision of tablets as tiny tabletops to support at-device collaboration. We developed the Proportion iPad app to realize and study this vision. In Proportion, two children work at one tablet to complete a series of increasingly difficult ratio / proportion problems. In our studies at German primary schools (grade 4, age 9-11), we used Proportion to study the role of collaboration and multi-touch. I will present both early empirical findings across conditions and a case study of a particularly successful group.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bio: Jochen &amp;quot;Jeff&amp;quot; Rick designs innovative and effective applications for the newest technologies to research the potential of these technologies to support collaborative, social, and exploratory forms of learning. With an M.S. Electrical Engineering (1999, Georgia Tech) and a Ph.D. Computer Science (2007, Georgia Tech), he feels comfortable developing for emerging platforms. He developed CoWeb, the first wiki designed to support learning, well before Wikipedia existed. He developed DigiTile, a tabletop application for two children to collaboratively learn about fractions through constructing colorful mosaic tiles, before there was a commercial touch tabletop. As an experienced designer (two major server technologies, six applications for interactive tabletops, two applications for tablets, two applications for multiple devices, etc.), he seeks to realize the future of learning technologies. He is the lead developer on UMCP&#039;s Science Everywhere project.&lt;br /&gt;

CHI Practice Talk: Personalized, Wearable Control of a Head-mounted Display for Users with Upper Body Motor Impairments&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Abstract: Head-mounted displays provide relatively hands-free interaction that could improve mobile computing access for users with motor impairments. To investigate this largely unexplored area, we present two user studies. The first, smaller study evaluated the accessibility of Google Glass, a head-mounted display, with 6 participants. Findings revealed potential benefits of a head-mounted display yet demonstrated the need for alternative means of controlling Glass—3 of the 6 participants could not use it at all. We then conducted a second study with 12 participants to evaluate a potential alternative input mechanism that could allow for accessible control of a head-mounted display: switch-based wearable touchpads that can be affixed to the body or wheelchair. The study assessed input performance with three sizes of touchpad, investigated personalization patterns when participants were asked to place the touchpads on their body or wheelchair, and elicited subjective responses. All 12 participants were able to use the touchpads to control the display, and patterns of touchpad placement point to the value of personalization in providing support for each user’s motor abilities.&lt;br /&gt;

CHI Practice Talk: Trajectory Bundling for Animated Transitions&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Abstract: Animated transition has been a popular design choice for smoothly switching between different visualization views or layouts, in which movement trajectories are created as cues for tracking objects during location shifting. Tracking moving objects, however, becomes difficult when their movement paths overlap or the number of tracking targets increases. We propose a novel design to facilitate tracking moving objects in animated transitions. Instead of simply animating an object along a straight line, we create &amp;quot;bundled&amp;quot; movement trajectories for a group of objects that have spatial proximity and share similar moving directions. To study the effect of bundled trajectories, we untangle variations due to different aspects of tracking complexity in a comprehensive controlled user study. The results indicate that using bundled trajectories is particularly effective when tracking more targets (six vs. three targets) or when the object movement involves a high degree of occlusion or deformation. Based on the study, we discuss the advantages and limitations of the new technique, as well as provide design implications.&lt;br /&gt;

Ubiquitous Analytics: Interacting with Big Data Anywhere, Anytime&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Abstract: Computing is becoming increasingly embedded in our everyday lives: mobile devices are growing smaller yet more powerful, large displays are getting cheaper, and our physical environments are turning intelligent and are integrating an increasing number of digital processors. Meanwhile, data is everywhere, and people need to leverage all of this digital infrastructure to turn it into actionable information about their hobbies, health, and personal interest. In this talk, I will present the concept of ubiquitous analytics that is staking out a new digital future of ever-present, always-on computing; one that can support manipulating, thinking about, and interacting with data anytime, anywhere.&lt;br /&gt;

UIST2014 Practice Talk: Tohme: Detecting Curb Ramps in Google Street View Using Crowdsourcing, Computer Vision, and Machine Learning&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Building on recent prior work that combines Google Street View (GSV) and crowdsourcing to remotely collect information on physical world accessibility, we present the first “smart” system, Tohme, that combines machine learning, computer vision (CV), and custom crowd interfaces to find curb ramps remotely in GSV scenes. Tohme consists of two workflows, a human labeling pipeline and a CV pipeline with human verification, which are scheduled dynamically based on predicted performance. Using 1,086 GSV scenes (street intersections) from four North American cities and data from 403 crowd workers, we show that Tohme performs similarly in detecting curb ramps compared to a manual labeling approach alone (F-measure: 84% vs. 86% baseline) but at a 13% reduction in time cost. Our work contributes the first CV-based curb ramp detection system, a custom machine-learning based workflow controller, a validation of GSV as a viable curb ramp data source, and a detailed examination of why curb ramp detection is a hard problem along with steps forward.&lt;br /&gt;

Measuring Password Guessability for an Entire University&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Despite considerable research on passwords, empirical studies of password strength have been limited by lack of access to plaintext passwords, small data sets, and password sets specifically collected for a research study or from low-value accounts. Properties of passwords used for high-value accounts thus remain poorly understood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We fill this gap by studying the single-sign-on passwords used by over 25,000 faculty, staff, and students at a research university with a complex password policy. Key aspects of our contributions rest on our (indirect) access to plaintext passwords. We describe our data collection methodology, particularly the many precautions we took to minimize risks to users. We then analyze how guessable the collected passwords would be during an offline attack by subjecting them to a state-of-the-art password cracking algorithm. We discover significant correlations between a number of demographic and behavioral factors and password strength. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We also compare the guessability and other characteristics of the passwords we analyzed to sets previously collected in controlled experiments or leaked from low-value accounts. We find more consistent similarities between the university passwords and passwords collected for research studies under similar composition policies than we do between the university passwords and subsets of passwords leaked from low-value accounts that happen to comply with the same policies.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Exploring the role of HCI as an agent of cultural change: from health as a medical condition to health as shared, social aspiration.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Abstract: What is the role of HCI in supporting a better normal for our health, creativity, quality of life - especially if we think about health outside a medical context. I have been thinking about the concept of “make better normal” and Ben Shneiderman has challenged me to ask isn’t that the role of design in general? And most of us would agree, so what’s different when we talk about health, not as a medical condition, but as a paradigm shift, where health is a shared and supported social aspiration? In such a discussion, HCI becomes an agent not necessarily for change, but for cultural shift - assuming we might agree on what proactive health looks like in practice - so we can design to support it. As part of this discussion i’ll offer in5 as a design model for proactive health and look forward to your feedback.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Also, we might consider how the role of HCI would change in this dynamic over time. Initially, proactive health design is likely design against the status quo. For example, if the status quo is sedentary knowledge work, and the research shows that more movement during the day is better for us cognitively, physiologically, socially, then what does HCI do to help support this transition individually and culturally? What is the role and perhaps responsibility of our collaborative work with, for instance, visualisation and big data? Likewise, what is the map of this territory for us? where are the important research questions? how would we know them? Do we ourselves need to evolve a new disciplinary expertise from nutrition to neurology for proactive health tech design? I have some thoughts/experiences in this space i’d like to share to hear your insights. Also, in particular, I would also like to present the related outcomes from a Dagstuhl Workshop that happened in June to consider Grand Challenges for Interactive Technology Design for Proactive Health, and to invite you to participate in and contribute to shaping these Challenges. This exchange, i hope, will act as both this invitation and a call to action - to say that if we see the opportunities to make a real and credible difference for proactive health, do we not need to find, fundamentally, ways to better support each others’ work to have effects at scale, to model a path for others to trust and to follow?&lt;br /&gt;

ASSETS 2014 Practice Talk: Design of and Subjective Response to On-body Input for People With Visual Impairments &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For users with visual impairments, who do not necessarily need the visual display of a mobile device, non-visual on-body interaction (e.g., Imaginary Interfaces) could provide accessible input in a mobile context. Such interaction provides the potential advantages of an always-available input surface, and increased tactile and proprioceptive feedback compared to a smooth touchscreen. To investigate preferences for and design of accessible on-body interaction, we conducted a study with 12 visually impaired participants. Participants evaluated five locations for on-body input and compared on-phone to on-hand interaction with one versus two hands. Our findings show that the least preferred areas were the face/neck and the forearm, while locations on the hands were considered to be more discreet and natural. The findings also suggest that participants may prioritize social acceptability over ease of use and physical comfort when assessing the feasibility of input at different locations of the body. Finally, tradeoffs were seen in preferences for touchscreen versus on-body input, with on-body input considered useful for contexts where one hand is busy (e.g., holding a cane or dog leash). We provide implications for the design of accessible on-body input. &lt;br /&gt;

Citizen Science at Scale: Human Computation for Science, Education, and Sustainability&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Citizen science is gaining recognition as an innovative mode of scientific collaboration that engages the public in real-world research. Increased coordination and communication capacities attributed to technological advances have lead to dramatic growth in the scale, scope, and impact of public participation in science, while also enabling novel research that would not otherwise be feasible. In addition, citizen science is full interesting challenges for HCI, with notable needs and opportunities for innovation in such areas as sensors, DIY technologies, mobile applications, painless data entry, usability for &amp;quot;K through gray&amp;quot;, STEM learning technologies, and data visualization and exploration tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This talk will introduce two projects focused on supporting large-scale participation in citizen science from a data-centric perspective. In the eBird &amp;quot;human-computer learning network&amp;quot;, 40% annual growth in data submissions to one of the world&#039;s largest biodiversity data sets creates a challenge for data validation by a limited pool of experts. Our team has applied AI and machine learning to refine the system&#039;s dynamically-generated data entry interfaces, reducing the incidence of &amp;quot;false positives&amp;quot; for outlier records that require expert review. In addition, we have developed a method to estimate contributors&#039; expertise based entirely on their data submissions, and examining time series of these expertise estimates also suggests a learning effect through ongoing participation. The expertise estimates are currently being incorporated into spatio-temporal models of bird migration to reduce noise introduced by the natural variability in diverse human observers.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The second project, recently funded by the NSF CyberSEES program, will develop proof-of-concept infrastructure to deliver biodiversity data from science classrooms across the US to researchers that need data for ongoing research. Through partnerships with several sustainability science projects and the Smithsonian BioCubes program, student-generated data will be integrated with data collected by professional scientists to support ecological studies monitoring the spread and impact of invasive species, the biogeographic and evolutionary effects of climate change, and community changes in species-rich but vulnerable coastal marine ecosystems. The UMD team will investigate the factors that enable and prevent participation by both data producers (learners) and data consumers (scientists), in order to inform the design and development of current and future cyberinfrastructure.&lt;br /&gt;

Computational Journalism: From Tools to Algorithmic Accountability&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Abstract: Computational Journalism was initially conceived of as an application of computing technologies to enable journalism across information tasks such as information gathering, organization and sensemaking, storytelling, and dissemination. But computing and algorithms can also become the object of journalism. Algorithms adjudicate a large array of decisions in our lives: not just search engines and personalized online news systems, but educational evaluations, markets and political campaigns, and the management of social services like welfare and public safety. A new form of computational journalism that I call “Algorithmic Accountability Reporting” is emerging to apply the core journalistic functions of watchdogging and accountability reporting to algorithms. In this talk I will provide some perspective on the tool-oriented roots of computational journalism, and then discuss how algorithmic accountability reporting is emerging as a mechanism for elucidating and articulating the power structures, biases, and influences that computational artifacts play in society.&lt;br /&gt;

Top-Down and Bottom-Up:  Building Information Science for an Active Middle&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Abstract: Our increasingly digital society has spurred interest in information science, with a belief that it can improve health, safety, the environment, education, economic growth and more.  However, capturing these benefits will require skilled information professionals who understand and create digital solutions that improve lives in a variety of fields.   Guided by its focus on information, technology and people, the iSchool at the University of Maryland is developing an innovative BS in Information Science (BSIS) that will address the demand for such professionals.  High-level frameworks lend structure to the disparate information science activities and disciplinary domains, but lack the detail necessary to guide research and educational programs.  At this session, we will co-design the emergent BSIS curriculum that prepares students for success in a wide variety of information science careers.&lt;br /&gt;

Tracking the Body in Healthcare&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; New gesture and movement tracking technologies are offering rich possibilities for our everyday computing experiences. More than simply intuitive and non-intrusive forms of interaction these technologies can provide ways to transform behavioral practices in particular contexts. Within these contexts, there are important challenges in how we take the opportunities provided by body/movement sensing systems and design them in ways that are attuned to the demands and circumstances of a particular setting. In this talk I will explore these issues in the context of the particular setting of healthcare. I will present prior work on a Kinect-based system that uses gesture and voice recognition capabilities to enable clinicians to interact with images during surgery without compromising sterility as well as new work on sensing a Parkinson&#039;s patient&#039;s movement ability for clinical decision-making and patient empowerment.&lt;br /&gt;

Accessible Social Technology &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For better and worse, technology has changed how we connect with one another, potentially excluding those who have not kept up with changing social norms. To provide one common example: grandparents who have not adopted Facebook often find themselves excluded from family photo sharing practices. In this talk, Karyn will informally discuss recent projects targeted at drawing marginalized individuals into online social forums, with a focus on bridging diverse preferences and accommodating competing needs.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Karyn Moffatt is an assistant professor in the School of Information Studies at McGill University. Currently, her work focuses on designing tools that are sensitive to the social context in which they will be used and that seek to leverage and support those relationships. Prior to joining McGill University, Karyn was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Toronto supported by awards from NSERC and CIHR’s Health Care, Technology, and Place strategic initiative. She received her doctorate in computer science from the University of British Columbia in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;

The Talk Talk&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;So you have to give a talk, now what? Well, it&#039;s probably too late to run, and nobody likes a hider, so your best bet is to just suck it up, and start prepping your talk. But how? What should you do first? What are you even trying to accomplish here? Prepping a talk is not only a daunting prospect, but it&#039;s really easy to get lost in the details and lose sight of the big picture. In this brown bag, I&#039;ll be laying out that big picture, and providing a step-by-step roadmap of how to get there. The goal is to give rookie talk-givers a better sense of direction as they navigate the shadowy abyss of prepping a talk. I&#039;m also hoping that some of the more experienced talk-givers can chime in with some of their best tips and tricks for building a slammin&#039; talk.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Megan Monroe is a fifth year PhD student in the Computer Science Department who feels super awkward writing about herself in the third person. That being said, she has given a lot of talks, and is loosely presumed to proficient in this area.&lt;br /&gt;

Privacy Management in the Digital Age&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While regularly used for interpersonal communication, relationship maintenance, and information sharing, newer communication technologies such as Facebook and Twitter have also created significant tension between individuals’ desire to maintain privacy and to be engaged participants in online communities. Problems arise due to the increasing diversity of users on these sites, a lack of privacy management knowledge and/or skills, and the often-changing privacy standards of the sites themselves. Rather than proactively engaging this complexity, many users employ reactive privacy management strategies—until something bad happens to me, I won’t worry about the information I’m sharing.&lt;br /&gt;
Understanding how people conceptualize privacy and how that conceptualization influences behavior is increasingly important in today’s networked world, as individuals—and information—are now connected in more ways than ever before. The affordances of social media distinguish them from other communication channels, both on- and offline, with content being easier to search and archive, while people and content are more highly linked within systems. Thus, the consequences of employing more reactive strategies are far-reaching, with potential impacts on personal relationships, financials, work, and beyond. In this talk, I’ll highlight some of my recent findings on this topic as well as overview my expected research trajectory for the next few years in this very active space. &lt;br /&gt;

In this talk, Chris (and others) will lead a talk and discussion about GitHub. Generally, Chris will give an overview of GitHub and facilitate a discussion about why the HCIL might want to adopt GitHub in some way, perhaps by making an &amp;quot;Organization&amp;quot; entity under which projects can be created and students, faculty, and others in the HCIL can check in their code.&lt;br /&gt;

From Digital Footprints to Social Insights&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The pervasiveness of cell phones, mobile applications and social media is generating vast amounts of information that can reveal a wide range of human behavior. From mobility patterns to social connections, these signals expose insights about how humans behave and interact with their environment. While a lot of work has focused on analyzing behaviors, relatively little effort has been dedicated to understanding ways in which such findings could be useful to decision makers in areas like smart cities or public health. In this talk I will discuss two projects: (1) AlertImpact, an agent-based framework that uses geo-referenced cell phone data to model the impact of the preventive actions implemented by the Mexican government during the H1N1 flu outbreak and (2) TweetLand, a method to automatically identify urban land uses and landmarks (point of interest) using tweeting patterns.&lt;br /&gt;

Bridging ICT4D lessons from the NGO sector towards academia ([https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2618031/Alex%20Pompe%20UMD%20Presentation.pptx Slides])&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract: ICT4D professionals in both the academic and NGO areas stand to benefit from greater collaboration, awareness, and transparency of experiences. However, often at conferences both groups are frustrated due to a lack of common understanding and misconceptions. This talk will present a number of case studies from IREX&#039;s ICT work in a variety of regions focused on providing open discussion and discourse so that lessons from all development practitioners can be lent towards improving processes on both sides of the table. The talk will also include discussion of internships and job skills in the ICT4D sector from an NGO employer&#039;s perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; As a Senior Technical Advisor at IREX, Alex Pompe is a lead member of the Center for Collaborative Technology managing the NGO&#039;s ICT4D consulting portfolio. Clients come for a range of countries such as Sri Lanka, Malaysia, India, Nepal, Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, and Bhutan. This work focuses on public access to information barriers and community assessment methodologies. He oversees the Libraries for Development program in Namibia, the Tech Age Teachers program in Tunisia, and the New Education Technology program in Kazakhstan.

The goal of this session is to provide several students at various points in their academic programs&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
, but especially new students, with a chance to talk about (1) their interests, (2) the projects to which they&#039;ve contributed, and (3) those they&#039;d like to do. Our hope is that this will allow new students to introduce themselves and convey their interests in a way that helps them find others with shared interests and form working relationships on projects with professors and other students. Students will have 5–8 minutes to introduce themselves and their interests, their previous and current projects, skills and expertise, and their future interests in HCI and the HCIL. Hopefully, this will help new students connect with professors and other students with whom they share interests and can work together on research projects. Following talks will be about 10 minutes for discussion with the presenting students (perhaps for asking them to join a project team).&lt;br /&gt;

Everybody’s internet? :Designing for mobile-centric internet users in the developing world &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Within 5 years, wireless broadband services will cover 85% of the world’s population, &lt;br /&gt;
and data-enabled mobile (cellular) devices will outnumber personal computers and &lt;br /&gt;
tablets. This talk, taken from a book in preparation, details the growing importance &lt;br /&gt;
of ‘mobile-centric internet use’ in the developing world, raising questions and &lt;br /&gt;
challenges for design.&lt;br /&gt;
A breathlessly optimistic narrative has proclaimed the mobile phone the device &lt;br /&gt;
which will finally close the ‘digital divide’, but the digital world does not run &lt;br /&gt;
exclusively on mobile handsets. To guide policy and technical investments in &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development— I argue that it is better to reframe and view the &lt;br /&gt;
mobile handset as one piece of a person’s digital repertoire, which also might include &lt;br /&gt;
PCs, telecentres, TVs, tablets, and other devices. &lt;br /&gt;
In the talk and in the book I revisit some of my previous studies in three domains of &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development: microenterprises and livelihoods, citizen journalism, &lt;br /&gt;
and secondary education. Across each, I celebrate the transformational potential of &lt;br /&gt;
the mobile phone. Yet, in each case, I use the “digital repertoires” lens to raise &lt;br /&gt;
concerns, identifying how the capacity to generate, produce, and curate information &lt;br /&gt;
may remain concentrated among those with better resources to secure digital tools,&lt;br /&gt;
and the skills and incentives to use them. The person with $30 basic data-enabled &lt;br /&gt;
phone and the person with a smartphone and a state-of-the-art $1000 desktop &lt;br /&gt;
computer both can connect to the internet; however, it is not the same internet.&lt;br /&gt;
Yet these persistent digital stratifications can be reduced if technologists, &lt;br /&gt;
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers work to ensure that constrained digital &lt;br /&gt;
repertoires enable not only coordination and consumption (which phones already do &lt;br /&gt;
well), but also contribution (which they do less well). From natural user interfaces to &lt;br /&gt;
language support to bandwidth pricing, there are concrete ways in which more &lt;br /&gt;
empathetic design and policy can help a greater proportion of the world’s &lt;br /&gt;
inhabitants be more productive with their ICTs. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research India seeks to address the needs and aspirations of people in the world&#039;s developing communities. Our research targets people who are just beginning to use computing technologies and services as well as those for whom access to computing still remains largely out of reach. Most of our work falls under the rubric of the relatively young field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD or ICT4D). By combining a variety of backgrounds and training, we are able to engage deeply with some of the complex problems associated with poverty and scarce resources. Our goal is to study, design, build, and evaluate technologies and systems that are useful for people living in underserved rural and urban communities around the world. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the recent work in the group, focusing on projects that explore modalities and interactions specifically designed for the unique contexts and users we’re working with:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1) VideoKheti: A prototype multimodal system to help low-literate farmers search for agricultural extension videos on smart phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2) IVR Junction: A platform for building scalable and distributed voice forums for users with low-end phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3) Massively Empowered Classrooms (MEC): A project to explore how innovations in MOOCs and blended learning can be applied to second-tier, large-scale engineering education in India.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4) Maybe something else, depending on the interests of the audience&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As we become more dependent on high speed Internet, we increasingly have to deal with making sure our devices are connected properly, that we&#039;re getting the speeds we need, and that we&#039;re making efficient use of our data. Yet often, Internet connections break or do not work as planned, causing us endless headaches. We also have to juggle constraints such as slow speeds, limited bandwidth, and high data costs depending on our location and use. My research focuses on helping users manage Internet connectivity in their homes, the workplace, and on the go, particularly under constraints of low resources and high costs. In this talk, I&#039;ll go over how I use HCI and networking to reach the goal of taming the Internet for everyday users and talk about future directions.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The HCIL has an open semi-organized weekly &amp;quot;brown bag lunch (BBL)&amp;quot; on every &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;Thursdays from 12:30-1:30pm in HCIL (2105 Hornbake, South Wing)&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.  The topics range from someone&#039;s work, current interest to the HCIL, a software demo/review, a study design, a proposed research topic, an introduction to a new person, etc.   The BBL is the one hour a week where we all come together--thus, it’s a unique time for HCIL members with unique opportunities to help build collaborations, increase awareness of each other’s activities, and generally just have a bit of fun together with &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;free food every week&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To sign up for a session, send an email to BBL student co-coordinator &#039;&#039;&#039;Arunesh Mathur  (amathur@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Daniel Pauw (dpauw@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039;. In the email, briefly describe the topic and preferred dates.&lt;br /&gt;

Two kids, one iPad&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Abstract: Multi-touch devices are starting to replace PCs as the dominant form of computing, particularly for children. As a result, serious efforts are underway to investigate and integrate tablets into the classroom. Most of these research efforts are software agnostic, assuming that the current software ecology is sufficient to realize and study the potential of the hardware. In such a research mode, it is natural to think of tablets as personal devices since the vast majority of software is built around that premise (e.g., tablets as ebooks). Can they be more? Can tablets support collaborative learning?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In this talk, I present a vision of tablets as tiny tabletops to support at-device collaboration. We developed the Proportion iPad app to realize and study this vision. In Proportion, two children work at one tablet to complete a series of increasingly difficult ratio / proportion problems. In our studies at German primary schools (grade 4, age 9-11), we used Proportion to study the role of collaboration and multi-touch. I will present both early empirical findings across conditions and a case study of a particularly successful group.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bio: Jochen &amp;quot;Jeff&amp;quot; Rick designs innovative and effective applications for the newest technologies to research the potential of these technologies to support collaborative, social, and exploratory forms of learning. With an M.S. Electrical Engineering (1999, Georgia Tech) and a Ph.D. Computer Science (2007, Georgia Tech), he feels comfortable developing for emerging platforms. He developed CoWeb, the first wiki designed to support learning, well before Wikipedia existed. He developed DigiTile, a tabletop application for two children to collaboratively learn about fractions through constructing colorful mosaic tiles, before there was a commercial touch tabletop. As an experienced designer (two major server technologies, six applications for interactive tabletops, two applications for tablets, two applications for multiple devices, etc.), he seeks to realize the future of learning technologies. He is the lead developer on UMCP&#039;s Science Everywhere project.&lt;br /&gt;

CHI Practice Talk: Trajectory Bundling for Animated Transitions&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Abstract: Animated transition has been a popular design choice for smoothly switching between different visualization views or layouts, in which movement trajectories are created as cues for tracking objects during location shifting. Tracking moving objects, however, becomes difficult when their movement paths overlap or the number of tracking targets increases. We propose a novel design to facilitate tracking moving objects in animated transitions. Instead of simply animating an object along a straight line, we create &amp;quot;bundled&amp;quot; movement trajectories for a group of objects that have spatial proximity and share similar moving directions. To study the effect of bundled trajectories, we untangle variations due to different aspects of tracking complexity in a comprehensive controlled user study. The results indicate that using bundled trajectories is particularly effective when tracking more targets (six vs. three targets) or when the object movement involves a high degree of occlusion or deformation. Based on the study, we discuss the advantages and limitations of the new technique, as well as provide design implications.&lt;br /&gt;

Ubiquitous Analytics: Interacting with Big Data Anywhere, Anytime&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Abstract: Computing is becoming increasingly embedded in our everyday lives: mobile devices are growing smaller yet more powerful, large displays are getting cheaper, and our physical environments are turning intelligent and are integrating an increasing number of digital processors. Meanwhile, data is everywhere, and people need to leverage all of this digital infrastructure to turn it into actionable information about their hobbies, health, and personal interest. In this talk, I will present the concept of ubiquitous analytics that is staking out a new digital future of ever-present, always-on computing; one that can support manipulating, thinking about, and interacting with data anytime, anywhere.&lt;br /&gt;

UIST2014 Practice Talk: Tohme: Detecting Curb Ramps in Google Street View Using Crowdsourcing, Computer Vision, and Machine Learning&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Building on recent prior work that combines Google Street View (GSV) and crowdsourcing to remotely collect information on physical world accessibility, we present the first “smart” system, Tohme, that combines machine learning, computer vision (CV), and custom crowd interfaces to find curb ramps remotely in GSV scenes. Tohme consists of two workflows, a human labeling pipeline and a CV pipeline with human verification, which are scheduled dynamically based on predicted performance. Using 1,086 GSV scenes (street intersections) from four North American cities and data from 403 crowd workers, we show that Tohme performs similarly in detecting curb ramps compared to a manual labeling approach alone (F-measure: 84% vs. 86% baseline) but at a 13% reduction in time cost. Our work contributes the first CV-based curb ramp detection system, a custom machine-learning based workflow controller, a validation of GSV as a viable curb ramp data source, and a detailed examination of why curb ramp detection is a hard problem along with steps forward.&lt;br /&gt;

Measuring Password Guessability for an Entire University&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Despite considerable research on passwords, empirical studies of password strength have been limited by lack of access to plaintext passwords, small data sets, and password sets specifically collected for a research study or from low-value accounts. Properties of passwords used for high-value accounts thus remain poorly understood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We fill this gap by studying the single-sign-on passwords used by over 25,000 faculty, staff, and students at a research university with a complex password policy. Key aspects of our contributions rest on our (indirect) access to plaintext passwords. We describe our data collection methodology, particularly the many precautions we took to minimize risks to users. We then analyze how guessable the collected passwords would be during an offline attack by subjecting them to a state-of-the-art password cracking algorithm. We discover significant correlations between a number of demographic and behavioral factors and password strength. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We also compare the guessability and other characteristics of the passwords we analyzed to sets previously collected in controlled experiments or leaked from low-value accounts. We find more consistent similarities between the university passwords and passwords collected for research studies under similar composition policies than we do between the university passwords and subsets of passwords leaked from low-value accounts that happen to comply with the same policies.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Exploring the role of HCI as an agent of cultural change: from health as a medical condition to health as shared, social aspiration.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Abstract: What is the role of HCI in supporting a better normal for our health, creativity, quality of life - especially if we think about health outside a medical context. I have been thinking about the concept of “make better normal” and Ben Shneiderman has challenged me to ask isn’t that the role of design in general? And most of us would agree, so what’s different when we talk about health, not as a medical condition, but as a paradigm shift, where health is a shared and supported social aspiration? In such a discussion, HCI becomes an agent not necessarily for change, but for cultural shift - assuming we might agree on what proactive health looks like in practice - so we can design to support it. As part of this discussion i’ll offer in5 as a design model for proactive health and look forward to your feedback.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Also, we might consider how the role of HCI would change in this dynamic over time. Initially, proactive health design is likely design against the status quo. For example, if the status quo is sedentary knowledge work, and the research shows that more movement during the day is better for us cognitively, physiologically, socially, then what does HCI do to help support this transition individually and culturally? What is the role and perhaps responsibility of our collaborative work with, for instance, visualisation and big data? Likewise, what is the map of this territory for us? where are the important research questions? how would we know them? Do we ourselves need to evolve a new disciplinary expertise from nutrition to neurology for proactive health tech design? I have some thoughts/experiences in this space i’d like to share to hear your insights. Also, in particular, I would also like to present the related outcomes from a Dagstuhl Workshop that happened in June to consider Grand Challenges for Interactive Technology Design for Proactive Health, and to invite you to participate in and contribute to shaping these Challenges. This exchange, i hope, will act as both this invitation and a call to action - to say that if we see the opportunities to make a real and credible difference for proactive health, do we not need to find, fundamentally, ways to better support each others’ work to have effects at scale, to model a path for others to trust and to follow?&lt;br /&gt;

For users with visual impairments, who do not necessarily need the visual display of a mobile device, non-visual on-body interaction (e.g., Imaginary Interfaces) could provide accessible input in a mobile context. Such interaction provides the potential advantages of an always-available input surface, and increased tactile and proprioceptive feedback compared to a smooth touchscreen. To investigate preferences for and design of accessible on-body interaction, we conducted a study with 12 visually impaired participants. Participants evaluated five locations for on-body input and compared on-phone to on-hand interaction with one versus two hands. Our findings show that the least preferred areas were the face/neck and the forearm, while locations on the hands were considered to be more discreet and natural. The findings also suggest that participants may prioritize social acceptability over ease of use and physical comfort when assessing the feasibility of input at different locations of the body. Finally, tradeoffs were seen in preferences for touchscreen versus on-body input, with on-body input considered useful for contexts where one hand is busy (e.g., holding a cane or dog leash). We provide implications for the design of accessible on-body input. &lt;br /&gt;

Citizen Science at Scale: Human Computation for Science, Education, and Sustainability&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Citizen science is gaining recognition as an innovative mode of scientific collaboration that engages the public in real-world research. Increased coordination and communication capacities attributed to technological advances have lead to dramatic growth in the scale, scope, and impact of public participation in science, while also enabling novel research that would not otherwise be feasible. In addition, citizen science is full interesting challenges for HCI, with notable needs and opportunities for innovation in such areas as sensors, DIY technologies, mobile applications, painless data entry, usability for &amp;quot;K through gray&amp;quot;, STEM learning technologies, and data visualization and exploration tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This talk will introduce two projects focused on supporting large-scale participation in citizen science from a data-centric perspective. In the eBird &amp;quot;human-computer learning network&amp;quot;, 40% annual growth in data submissions to one of the world&#039;s largest biodiversity data sets creates a challenge for data validation by a limited pool of experts. Our team has applied AI and machine learning to refine the system&#039;s dynamically-generated data entry interfaces, reducing the incidence of &amp;quot;false positives&amp;quot; for outlier records that require expert review. In addition, we have developed a method to estimate contributors&#039; expertise based entirely on their data submissions, and examining time series of these expertise estimates also suggests a learning effect through ongoing participation. The expertise estimates are currently being incorporated into spatio-temporal models of bird migration to reduce noise introduced by the natural variability in diverse human observers.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The second project, recently funded by the NSF CyberSEES program, will develop proof-of-concept infrastructure to deliver biodiversity data from science classrooms across the US to researchers that need data for ongoing research. Through partnerships with several sustainability science projects and the Smithsonian BioCubes program, student-generated data will be integrated with data collected by professional scientists to support ecological studies monitoring the spread and impact of invasive species, the biogeographic and evolutionary effects of climate change, and community changes in species-rich but vulnerable coastal marine ecosystems. The UMD team will investigate the factors that enable and prevent participation by both data producers (learners) and data consumers (scientists), in order to inform the design and development of current and future cyberinfrastructure.&lt;br /&gt;

Computational Journalism: From Tools to Algorithmic Accountability&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Abstract: Computational Journalism was initially conceived of as an application of computing technologies to enable journalism across information tasks such as information gathering, organization and sensemaking, storytelling, and dissemination. But computing and algorithms can also become the object of journalism. Algorithms adjudicate a large array of decisions in our lives: not just search engines and personalized online news systems, but educational evaluations, markets and political campaigns, and the management of social services like welfare and public safety. A new form of computational journalism that I call “Algorithmic Accountability Reporting” is emerging to apply the core journalistic functions of watchdogging and accountability reporting to algorithms. In this talk I will provide some perspective on the tool-oriented roots of computational journalism, and then discuss how algorithmic accountability reporting is emerging as a mechanism for elucidating and articulating the power structures, biases, and influences that computational artifacts play in society.&lt;br /&gt;

Top-Down and Bottom-Up:  Building Information Science for an Active Middle&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Abstract: Our increasingly digital society has spurred interest in information science, with a belief that it can improve health, safety, the environment, education, economic growth and more.  However, capturing these benefits will require skilled information professionals who understand and create digital solutions that improve lives in a variety of fields.   Guided by its focus on information, technology and people, the iSchool at the University of Maryland is developing an innovative BS in Information Science (BSIS) that will address the demand for such professionals.  High-level frameworks lend structure to the disparate information science activities and disciplinary domains, but lack the detail necessary to guide research and educational programs.  At this session, we will co-design the emergent BSIS curriculum that prepares students for success in a wide variety of information science careers.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Integrating story into design may be an effective way to create more fulfilling interaction experiences. This informal presentation and discussion considers how designing immersive “flow” experiences can contribute to HCI research interests by improving motivation and attention. The talk describes immersive design in the context of performance, through multi-sensory technology and dynamic audience participation, and offers ideas to further explore this area of research.&lt;br /&gt;

Tracking the Body in Healthcare&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; New gesture and movement tracking technologies are offering rich possibilities for our everyday computing experiences. More than simply intuitive and non-intrusive forms of interaction these technologies can provide ways to transform behavioral practices in particular contexts. Within these contexts, there are important challenges in how we take the opportunities provided by body/movement sensing systems and design them in ways that are attuned to the demands and circumstances of a particular setting. In this talk I will explore these issues in the context of the particular setting of healthcare. I will present prior work on a Kinect-based system that uses gesture and voice recognition capabilities to enable clinicians to interact with images during surgery without compromising sterility as well as new work on sensing a Parkinson&#039;s patient&#039;s movement ability for clinical decision-making and patient empowerment.&lt;br /&gt;

Accessible Social Technology &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For better and worse, technology has changed how we connect with one another, potentially excluding those who have not kept up with changing social norms. To provide one common example: grandparents who have not adopted Facebook often find themselves excluded from family photo sharing practices. In this talk, Karyn will informally discuss recent projects targeted at drawing marginalized individuals into online social forums, with a focus on bridging diverse preferences and accommodating competing needs.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Karyn Moffatt is an assistant professor in the School of Information Studies at McGill University. Currently, her work focuses on designing tools that are sensitive to the social context in which they will be used and that seek to leverage and support those relationships. Prior to joining McGill University, Karyn was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Toronto supported by awards from NSERC and CIHR’s Health Care, Technology, and Place strategic initiative.

The Talk Talk&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;So you have to give a talk, now what? Well, it&#039;s probably too late to run, and nobody likes a hider, so your best bet is to just suck it up, and start prepping your talk. But how? What should you do first? What are you even trying to accomplish here? Prepping a talk is not only a daunting prospect, but it&#039;s really easy to get lost in the details and lose sight of the big picture. In this brown bag, I&#039;ll be laying out that big picture, and providing a step-by-step roadmap of how to get there. The goal is to give rookie talk-givers a better sense of direction as they navigate the shadowy abyss of prepping a talk. I&#039;m also hoping that some of the more experienced talk-givers can chime in with some of their best tips and tricks for building a slammin&#039; talk.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Megan Monroe is a fifth year PhD student in the Computer Science Department who feels super awkward writing about herself in the third person. That being said, she has given a lot of talks, and is loosely presumed to proficient in this area.&lt;br /&gt;

Privacy Management in the Digital Age&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While regularly used for interpersonal communication, relationship maintenance, and information sharing, newer communication technologies such as Facebook and Twitter have also created significant tension between individuals’ desire to maintain privacy and to be engaged participants in online communities. Problems arise due to the increasing diversity of users on these sites, a lack of privacy management knowledge and/or skills, and the often-changing privacy standards of the sites themselves. Rather than proactively engaging this complexity, many users employ reactive privacy management strategies—until something bad happens to me, I won’t worry about the information I’m sharing.&lt;br /&gt;
Understanding how people conceptualize privacy and how that conceptualization influences behavior is increasingly important in today’s networked world, as individuals—and information—are now connected in more ways than ever before. The affordances of social media distinguish them from other communication channels, both on- and offline, with content being easier to search and archive, while people and content are more highly linked within systems. Thus, the consequences of employing more reactive strategies are far-reaching, with potential impacts on personal relationships, financials, work, and beyond. In this talk, I’ll highlight some of my recent findings on this topic as well as overview my expected research trajectory for the next few years in this very active space. &lt;br /&gt;

From Digital Footprints to Social Insights&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The pervasiveness of cell phones, mobile applications and social media is generating vast amounts of information that can reveal a wide range of human behavior. From mobility patterns to social connections, these signals expose insights about how humans behave and interact with their environment. While a lot of work has focused on analyzing behaviors, relatively little effort has been dedicated to understanding ways in which such findings could be useful to decision makers in areas like smart cities or public health. In this talk I will discuss two projects: (1) AlertImpact, an agent-based framework that uses geo-referenced cell phone data to model the impact of the preventive actions implemented by the Mexican government during the H1N1 flu outbreak and (2) TweetLand, a method to automatically identify urban land uses and landmarks (point of interest) using tweeting patterns.&lt;br /&gt;

Bridging ICT4D lessons from the NGO sector towards academia ([https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2618031/Alex%20Pompe%20UMD%20Presentation.pptx Slides])&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract: ICT4D professionals in both the academic and NGO areas stand to benefit from greater collaboration, awareness, and transparency of experiences. However, often at conferences both groups are frustrated due to a lack of common understanding and misconceptions. This talk will present a number of case studies from IREX&#039;s ICT work in a variety of regions focused on providing open discussion and discourse so that lessons from all development practitioners can be lent towards improving processes on both sides of the table. The talk will also include discussion of internships and job skills in the ICT4D sector from an NGO employer&#039;s perspective.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The goal of this session is to provide several students at various points in their academic programs&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
, but especially new students, with a chance to talk about (1) their interests, (2) the projects to which they&#039;ve contributed, and (3) those they&#039;d like to do. Our hope is that this will allow new students to introduce themselves and convey their interests in a way that helps them find others with shared interests and form working relationships on projects with professors and other students. Students will have 5–8 minutes to introduce themselves and their interests, their previous and current projects, skills and expertise, and their future interests in HCI and the HCIL. Hopefully, this will help new students connect with professors and other students with whom they share interests and can work together on research projects. Following talks will be about 10 minutes for discussion with the presenting students (perhaps for asking them to join a project team).&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Everybody’s internet? :Designing for mobile-centric internet users in the developing world &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Within 5 years, wireless broadband services will cover 85% of the world’s population, &lt;br /&gt;
and data-enabled mobile (cellular) devices will outnumber personal computers and &lt;br /&gt;
tablets. This talk, taken from a book in preparation, details the growing importance &lt;br /&gt;
of ‘mobile-centric internet use’ in the developing world, raising questions and &lt;br /&gt;
challenges for design.&lt;br /&gt;
A breathlessly optimistic narrative has proclaimed the mobile phone the device &lt;br /&gt;
which will finally close the ‘digital divide’, but the digital world does not run &lt;br /&gt;
exclusively on mobile handsets. To guide policy and technical investments in &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development— I argue that it is better to reframe and view the &lt;br /&gt;
mobile handset as one piece of a person’s digital repertoire, which also might include &lt;br /&gt;
PCs, telecentres, TVs, tablets, and other devices. &lt;br /&gt;
In the talk and in the book I revisit some of my previous studies in three domains of &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development: microenterprises and livelihoods, citizen journalism, &lt;br /&gt;
and secondary education. Across each, I celebrate the transformational potential of &lt;br /&gt;
the mobile phone. Yet, in each case, I use the “digital repertoires” lens to raise &lt;br /&gt;
concerns, identifying how the capacity to generate, produce, and curate information &lt;br /&gt;
may remain concentrated among those with better resources to secure digital tools,&lt;br /&gt;
and the skills and incentives to use them. The person with $30 basic data-enabled &lt;br /&gt;
phone and the person with a smartphone and a state-of-the-art $1000 desktop &lt;br /&gt;
computer both can connect to the internet; however, it is not the same internet.&lt;br /&gt;
Yet these persistent digital stratifications can be reduced if technologists, &lt;br /&gt;
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers work to ensure that constrained digital &lt;br /&gt;
repertoires enable not only coordination and consumption (which phones already do &lt;br /&gt;
well), but also contribution (which they do less well). From natural user interfaces to &lt;br /&gt;
language support to bandwidth pricing, there are concrete ways in which more &lt;br /&gt;
empathetic design and policy can help a greater proportion of the world’s &lt;br /&gt;
inhabitants be more productive with their ICTs. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research India seeks to address the needs and aspirations of people in the world&#039;s developing communities. Our research targets people who are just beginning to use computing technologies and services as well as those for whom access to computing still remains largely out of reach. Most of our work falls under the rubric of the relatively young field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD or ICT4D). By combining a variety of backgrounds and training, we are able to engage deeply with some of the complex problems associated with poverty and scarce resources. Our goal is to study, design, build, and evaluate technologies and systems that are useful for people living in underserved rural and urban communities around the world. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the recent work in the group, focusing on projects that explore modalities and interactions specifically designed for the unique contexts and users we’re working with:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1) VideoKheti: A prototype multimodal system to help low-literate farmers search for agricultural extension videos on smart phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2) IVR Junction: A platform for building scalable and distributed voice forums for users with low-end phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3) Massively Empowered Classrooms (MEC): A project to explore how innovations in MOOCs and blended learning can be applied to second-tier, large-scale engineering education in India.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4) Maybe something else, depending on the interests of the audience&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed&amp;quot;&amp;gt; HCI and Networking - Taming the Internet One Bit at a Time&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As we become more dependent on high speed Internet, we increasingly have to deal with making sure our devices are connected properly, that we&#039;re getting the speeds we need, and that we&#039;re making efficient use of our data. Yet often, Internet connections break or do not work as planned, causing us endless headaches. We also have to juggle constraints such as slow speeds, limited bandwidth, and high data costs depending on our location and use. My research focuses on helping users manage Internet connectivity in their homes, the workplace, and on the go, particularly under constraints of low resources and high costs. In this talk, I&#039;ll go over how I use HCI and networking to reach the goal of taming the Internet for everyday users and talk about future directions.&lt;br /&gt;

Ubiquitous Analytics: Interacting with Big Data Anywhere, Anytime&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Abstract: Computing is becoming increasingly embedded in our everyday lives: mobile devices are growing smaller yet more powerful, large displays are getting cheaper, and our physical environments are turning intelligent and are integrating an increasing number of digital processors. Meanwhile, data is everywhere, and people need to leverage all of this digital infrastructure to turn it into actionable information about their hobbies, health, and personal interest. In this talk, I will present the concept of ubiquitous analytics that is staking out a new digital future of ever-present, always-on computing; one that can support manipulating, thinking about, and interacting with data anytime, anywhere.&lt;br /&gt;

New student introductions!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Much like last year, this BBL is for new students to introduce themselves, talk briefly about their projects and interests and bounce their ideas off the HCIL members. The purpose of these informal and participatory talks is to help connect new students with professors and other students sharing the same interests. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The students presenting are: Chris Musialek, Deok Gun Park, Seokbin Kang, Jonggi Hong, Sriram Karthik Badam and Majeed Kazemitabaar.&lt;br /&gt;

UIST2014 Practice Talk: Tohme: Detecting Curb Ramps in Google Street View Using Crowdsourcing, Computer Vision, and Machine Learning&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Building on recent prior work that combines Google Street View (GSV) and crowdsourcing to remotely collect information on physical world accessibility, we present the first “smart” system, Tohme, that combines machine learning, computer vision (CV), and custom crowd interfaces to find curb ramps remotely in GSV scenes. Tohme consists of two workflows, a human labeling pipeline and a CV pipeline with human verification, which are scheduled dynamically based on predicted performance. Using 1,086 GSV scenes (street intersections) from four North American cities and data from 403 crowd workers, we show that Tohme performs similarly in detecting curb ramps compared to a manual labeling approach alone (F-measure: 84% vs. 86% baseline) but at a 13% reduction in time cost. Our work contributes the first CV-based curb ramp detection system, a custom machine-learning based workflow controller, a validation of GSV as a viable curb ramp data source, and a detailed examination of why curb ramp detection is a hard problem along with steps forward.&lt;br /&gt;

Measuring Password Guessability for an Entire University&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Despite considerable research on passwords, empirical studies of password strength have been limited by lack of access to plaintext passwords, small data sets, and password sets specifically collected for a research study or from low-value accounts. Properties of passwords used for high-value accounts thus remain poorly understood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We fill this gap by studying the single-sign-on passwords used by over 25,000 faculty, staff, and students at a research university with a complex password policy. Key aspects of our contributions rest on our (indirect) access to plaintext passwords. We describe our data collection methodology, particularly the many precautions we took to minimize risks to users. We then analyze how guessable the collected passwords would be during an offline attack by subjecting them to a state-of-the-art password cracking algorithm. We discover significant correlations between a number of demographic and behavioral factors and password strength. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We also compare the guessability and other characteristics of the passwords we analyzed to sets previously collected in controlled experiments or leaked from low-value accounts. We find more consistent similarities between the university passwords and passwords collected for research studies under similar composition policies than we do between the university passwords and subsets of passwords leaked from low-value accounts that happen to comply with the same policies.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Exploring the role of HCI as an agent of cultural change: from health as a medical condition to health as shared, social aspiration.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Abstract: What is the role of HCI in supporting a better normal for our health, creativity, quality of life - especially if we think about health outside a medical context. I have been thinking about the concept of “make better normal” and Ben Shneiderman has challenged me to ask isn’t that the role of design in general? And most of us would agree, so what’s different when we talk about health, not as a medical condition, but as a paradigm shift, where health is a shared and supported social aspiration? In such a discussion, HCI becomes an agent not necessarily for change, but for cultural shift - assuming we might agree on what proactive health looks like in practice - so we can design to support it. As part of this discussion i’ll offer in5 as a design model for proactive health and look forward to your feedback.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Also, we might consider how the role of HCI would change in this dynamic over time. Initially, proactive health design is likely design against the status quo. For example, if the status quo is sedentary knowledge work, and the research shows that more movement during the day is better for us cognitively, physiologically, socially, then what does HCI do to help support this transition individually and culturally? What is the role and perhaps responsibility of our collaborative work with, for instance, visualisation and big data? Likewise, what is the map of this territory for us? where are the important research questions? how would we know them? Do we ourselves need to evolve a new disciplinary expertise from nutrition to neurology for proactive health tech design? I have some thoughts/experiences in this space i’d like to share to hear your insights. Also, in particular, I would also like to present the related outcomes from a Dagstuhl Workshop that happened in June to consider Grand Challenges for Interactive Technology Design for Proactive Health, and to invite you to participate in and contribute to shaping these Challenges. This exchange, i hope, will act as both this invitation and a call to action - to say that if we see the opportunities to make a real and credible difference for proactive health, do we not need to find, fundamentally, ways to better support each others’ work to have effects at scale, to model a path for others to trust and to follow?&lt;br /&gt;

ASSETS 2014 Practice Talk: Design of and Subjective Response to On-body Input for People With Visual Impairments &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For users with visual impairments, who do not necessarily need the visual display of a mobile device, non-visual on-body interaction (e.g., Imaginary Interfaces) could provide accessible input in a mobile context. Such interaction provides the potential advantages of an always-available input surface, and increased tactile and proprioceptive feedback compared to a smooth touchscreen. To investigate preferences for and design of accessible on-body interaction, we conducted a study with 12 visually impaired participants. Participants evaluated five locations for on-body input and compared on-phone to on-hand interaction with one versus two hands. Our findings show that the least preferred areas were the face/neck and the forearm, while locations on the hands were considered to be more discreet and natural. The findings also suggest that participants may prioritize social acceptability over ease of use and physical comfort when assessing the feasibility of input at different locations of the body. Finally, tradeoffs were seen in preferences for touchscreen versus on-body input, with on-body input considered useful for contexts where one hand is busy (e.g., holding a cane or dog leash). We provide implications for the design of accessible on-body input. &lt;br /&gt;

Citizen Science at Scale: Human Computation for Science, Education, and Sustainability&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Citizen science is gaining recognition as an innovative mode of scientific collaboration that engages the public in real-world research. Increased coordination and communication capacities attributed to technological advances have lead to dramatic growth in the scale, scope, and impact of public participation in science, while also enabling novel research that would not otherwise be feasible. In addition, citizen science is full interesting challenges for HCI, with notable needs and opportunities for innovation in such areas as sensors, DIY technologies, mobile applications, painless data entry, usability for &amp;quot;K through gray&amp;quot;, STEM learning technologies, and data visualization and exploration tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This talk will introduce two projects focused on supporting large-scale participation in citizen science from a data-centric perspective. In the eBird &amp;quot;human-computer learning network&amp;quot;, 40% annual growth in data submissions to one of the world&#039;s largest biodiversity data sets creates a challenge for data validation by a limited pool of experts. Our team has applied AI and machine learning to refine the system&#039;s dynamically-generated data entry interfaces, reducing the incidence of &amp;quot;false positives&amp;quot; for outlier records that require expert review. In addition, we have developed a method to estimate contributors&#039; expertise based entirely on their data submissions, and examining time series of these expertise estimates also suggests a learning effect through ongoing participation. The expertise estimates are currently being incorporated into spatio-temporal models of bird migration to reduce noise introduced by the natural variability in diverse human observers.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The second project, recently funded by the NSF CyberSEES program, will develop proof-of-concept infrastructure to deliver biodiversity data from science classrooms across the US to researchers that need data for ongoing research. Through partnerships with several sustainability science projects and the Smithsonian BioCubes program, student-generated data will be integrated with data collected by professional scientists to support ecological studies monitoring the spread and impact of invasive species, the biogeographic and evolutionary effects of climate change, and community changes in species-rich but vulnerable coastal marine ecosystems. The UMD team will investigate the factors that enable and prevent participation by both data producers (learners) and data consumers (scientists), in order to inform the design and development of current and future cyberinfrastructure.&lt;br /&gt;

Computational Journalism: From Tools to Algorithmic Accountability&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Abstract: Computational Journalism was initially conceived of as an application of computing technologies to enable journalism across information tasks such as information gathering, organization and sensemaking, storytelling, and dissemination. But computing and algorithms can also become the object of journalism. Algorithms adjudicate a large array of decisions in our lives: not just search engines and personalized online news systems, but educational evaluations, markets and political campaigns, and the management of social services like welfare and public safety. A new form of computational journalism that I call “Algorithmic Accountability Reporting” is emerging to apply the core journalistic functions of watchdogging and accountability reporting to algorithms. In this talk I will provide some perspective on the tool-oriented roots of computational journalism, and then discuss how algorithmic accountability reporting is emerging as a mechanism for elucidating and articulating the power structures, biases, and influences that computational artifacts play in society.&lt;br /&gt;

Top-Down and Bottom-Up:  Building Information Science for an Active Middle&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Abstract: Our increasingly digital society has spurred interest in information science, with a belief that it can improve health, safety, the environment, education, economic growth and more.  However, capturing these benefits will require skilled information professionals who understand and create digital solutions that improve lives in a variety of fields.   Guided by its focus on information, technology and people, the iSchool at the University of Maryland is developing an innovative BS in Information Science (BSIS) that will address the demand for such professionals.  High-level frameworks lend structure to the disparate information science activities and disciplinary domains, but lack the detail necessary to guide research and educational programs.  At this session, we will co-design the emergent BSIS curriculum that prepares students for success in a wide variety of information science careers.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Integrating story into design may be an effective way to create more fulfilling interaction experiences. This informal presentation and discussion considers how designing immersive “flow” experiences can contribute to HCI research interests by improving motivation and attention. The talk describes immersive design in the context of performance, through multi-sensory technology and dynamic audience participation, and offers ideas to further explore this area of research.&lt;br /&gt;

Tracking the Body in Healthcare&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; New gesture and movement tracking technologies are offering rich possibilities for our everyday computing experiences. More than simply intuitive and non-intrusive forms of interaction these technologies can provide ways to transform behavioral practices in particular contexts. Within these contexts, there are important challenges in how we take the opportunities provided by body/movement sensing systems and design them in ways that are attuned to the demands and circumstances of a particular setting. In this talk I will explore these issues in the context of the particular setting of healthcare. I will present prior work on a Kinect-based system that uses gesture and voice recognition capabilities to enable clinicians to interact with images during surgery without compromising sterility as well as new work on sensing a Parkinson&#039;s patient&#039;s movement ability for clinical decision-making and patient empowerment.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For better and worse, technology has changed how we connect with one another, potentially excluding those who have not kept up with changing social norms. To provide one common example: grandparents who have not adopted Facebook often find themselves excluded from family photo sharing practices. In this talk, Karyn will informally discuss recent projects targeted at drawing marginalized individuals into online social forums, with a focus on bridging diverse preferences and accommodating competing needs.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Karyn Moffatt is an assistant professor in the School of Information Studies at McGill University.

The Talk Talk&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;So you have to give a talk, now what? Well, it&#039;s probably too late to run, and nobody likes a hider, so your best bet is to just suck it up, and start prepping your talk. But how? What should you do first? What are you even trying to accomplish here? Prepping a talk is not only a daunting prospect, but it&#039;s really easy to get lost in the details and lose sight of the big picture. In this brown bag, I&#039;ll be laying out that big picture, and providing a step-by-step roadmap of how to get there. The goal is to give rookie talk-givers a better sense of direction as they navigate the shadowy abyss of prepping a talk. I&#039;m also hoping that some of the more experienced talk-givers can chime in with some of their best tips and tricks for building a slammin&#039; talk.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Megan Monroe is a fifth year PhD student in the Computer Science Department who feels super awkward writing about herself in the third person. That being said, she has given a lot of talks, and is loosely presumed to proficient in this area.&lt;br /&gt;

Privacy Management in the Digital Age&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While regularly used for interpersonal communication, relationship maintenance, and information sharing, newer communication technologies such as Facebook and Twitter have also created significant tension between individuals’ desire to maintain privacy and to be engaged participants in online communities. Problems arise due to the increasing diversity of users on these sites, a lack of privacy management knowledge and/or skills, and the often-changing privacy standards of the sites themselves. Rather than proactively engaging this complexity, many users employ reactive privacy management strategies—until something bad happens to me, I won’t worry about the information I’m sharing.&lt;br /&gt;
Understanding how people conceptualize privacy and how that conceptualization influences behavior is increasingly important in today’s networked world, as individuals—and information—are now connected in more ways than ever before. The affordances of social media distinguish them from other communication channels, both on- and offline, with content being easier to search and archive, while people and content are more highly linked within systems. Thus, the consequences of employing more reactive strategies are far-reaching, with potential impacts on personal relationships, financials, work, and beyond. In this talk, I’ll highlight some of my recent findings on this topic as well as overview my expected research trajectory for the next few years in this very active space. &lt;br /&gt;

From Digital Footprints to Social Insights&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The pervasiveness of cell phones, mobile applications and social media is generating vast amounts of information that can reveal a wide range of human behavior. From mobility patterns to social connections, these signals expose insights about how humans behave and interact with their environment. While a lot of work has focused on analyzing behaviors, relatively little effort has been dedicated to understanding ways in which such findings could be useful to decision makers in areas like smart cities or public health. In this talk I will discuss two projects: (1) AlertImpact, an agent-based framework that uses geo-referenced cell phone data to model the impact of the preventive actions implemented by the Mexican government during the H1N1 flu outbreak and (2) TweetLand, a method to automatically identify urban land uses and landmarks (point of interest) using tweeting patterns.&lt;br /&gt;

Bridging ICT4D lessons from the NGO sector towards academia ([https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2618031/Alex%20Pompe%20UMD%20Presentation.pptx Slides])&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract: ICT4D professionals in both the academic and NGO areas stand to benefit from greater collaboration, awareness, and transparency of experiences. However, often at conferences both groups are frustrated due to a lack of common understanding and misconceptions. This talk will present a number of case studies from IREX&#039;s ICT work in a variety of regions focused on providing open discussion and discourse so that lessons from all development practitioners can be lent towards improving processes on both sides of the table. The talk will also include discussion of internships and job skills in the ICT4D sector from an NGO employer&#039;s perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; As a Senior Technical Advisor at IREX, Alex Pompe is a lead member of the Center for Collaborative Technology managing the NGO&#039;s ICT4D consulting portfolio.

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The goal of this session is to provide several students at various points in their academic programs&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
, but especially new students, with a chance to talk about (1) their interests, (2) the projects to which they&#039;ve contributed, and (3) those they&#039;d like to do. Our hope is that this will allow new students to introduce themselves and convey their interests in a way that helps them find others with shared interests and form working relationships on projects with professors and other students. Students will have 5–8 minutes to introduce themselves and their interests, their previous and current projects, skills and expertise, and their future interests in HCI and the HCIL. Hopefully, this will help new students connect with professors and other students with whom they share interests and can work together on research projects. Following talks will be about 10 minutes for discussion with the presenting students (perhaps for asking them to join a project team).&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Everybody’s internet? :Designing for mobile-centric internet users in the developing world &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Within 5 years, wireless broadband services will cover 85% of the world’s population, &lt;br /&gt;
and data-enabled mobile (cellular) devices will outnumber personal computers and &lt;br /&gt;
tablets. This talk, taken from a book in preparation, details the growing importance &lt;br /&gt;
of ‘mobile-centric internet use’ in the developing world, raising questions and &lt;br /&gt;
challenges for design.&lt;br /&gt;
A breathlessly optimistic narrative has proclaimed the mobile phone the device &lt;br /&gt;
which will finally close the ‘digital divide’, but the digital world does not run &lt;br /&gt;
exclusively on mobile handsets. To guide policy and technical investments in &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development— I argue that it is better to reframe and view the &lt;br /&gt;
mobile handset as one piece of a person’s digital repertoire, which also might include &lt;br /&gt;
PCs, telecentres, TVs, tablets, and other devices. &lt;br /&gt;
In the talk and in the book I revisit some of my previous studies in three domains of &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development: microenterprises and livelihoods, citizen journalism, &lt;br /&gt;
and secondary education. Across each, I celebrate the transformational potential of &lt;br /&gt;
the mobile phone. Yet, in each case, I use the “digital repertoires” lens to raise &lt;br /&gt;
concerns, identifying how the capacity to generate, produce, and curate information &lt;br /&gt;
may remain concentrated among those with better resources to secure digital tools,&lt;br /&gt;
and the skills and incentives to use them. The person with $30 basic data-enabled &lt;br /&gt;
phone and the person with a smartphone and a state-of-the-art $1000 desktop &lt;br /&gt;
computer both can connect to the internet; however, it is not the same internet.&lt;br /&gt;
Yet these persistent digital stratifications can be reduced if technologists, &lt;br /&gt;
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers work to ensure that constrained digital &lt;br /&gt;
repertoires enable not only coordination and consumption (which phones already do &lt;br /&gt;
well), but also contribution (which they do less well). From natural user interfaces to &lt;br /&gt;
language support to bandwidth pricing, there are concrete ways in which more &lt;br /&gt;
empathetic design and policy can help a greater proportion of the world’s &lt;br /&gt;
inhabitants be more productive with their ICTs. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research India seeks to address the needs and aspirations of people in the world&#039;s developing communities. Our research targets people who are just beginning to use computing technologies and services as well as those for whom access to computing still remains largely out of reach. Most of our work falls under the rubric of the relatively young field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD or ICT4D). By combining a variety of backgrounds and training, we are able to engage deeply with some of the complex problems associated with poverty and scarce resources. Our goal is to study, design, build, and evaluate technologies and systems that are useful for people living in underserved rural and urban communities around the world. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the recent work in the group, focusing on projects that explore modalities and interactions specifically designed for the unique contexts and users we’re working with:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1) VideoKheti: A prototype multimodal system to help low-literate farmers search for agricultural extension videos on smart phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2) IVR Junction: A platform for building scalable and distributed voice forums for users with low-end phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3) Massively Empowered Classrooms (MEC): A project to explore how innovations in MOOCs and blended learning can be applied to second-tier, large-scale engineering education in India.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4) Maybe something else, depending on the interests of the audience&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed&amp;quot;&amp;gt; HCI and Networking - Taming the Internet One Bit at a Time&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As we become more dependent on high speed Internet, we increasingly have to deal with making sure our devices are connected properly, that we&#039;re getting the speeds we need, and that we&#039;re making efficient use of our data. Yet often, Internet connections break or do not work as planned, causing us endless headaches. We also have to juggle constraints such as slow speeds, limited bandwidth, and high data costs depending on our location and use. My research focuses on helping users manage Internet connectivity in their homes, the workplace, and on the go, particularly under constraints of low resources and high costs. In this talk, I&#039;ll go over how I use HCI and networking to reach the goal of taming the Internet for everyday users and talk about future directions.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;The HCIL has an open semi-organized weekly &amp;quot;brown bag lunch (BBL)&amp;quot; on every &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;Thursdays from 12:30-1:30pm in HCIL (2105 Hornbake, South Wing)&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.  The topics range from someone&#039;s work, current interest to the HCIL, a software demo/review, a study design, a proposed research topic, an introduction to a new person, etc.   The BBL is the one hour a week where we all come together--thus, it’s a unique time for HCIL members with unique opportunities to help build collaborations, increase awareness of each other’s activities, and generally just have a bit of fun together with &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;free food every week&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To sign up for a session, send an email to BBL student co-coordinator &#039;&#039;&#039;Arunesh Mathur  (amathur@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Daniel Pauw (dpauw@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039;. In the email, briefly describe the topic and preferred dates.&lt;br /&gt;

Ubiquitous Analytics: Interacting with Big Data Anywhere, Anytime&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Abstract: Computing is becoming increasingly embedded in our everyday lives: mobile devices are growing smaller yet more powerful, large displays are getting cheaper, and our physical environments are turning intelligent and are integrating an increasing number of digital processors. Meanwhile, data is everywhere, and people need to leverage all of this digital infrastructure to turn it into actionable information about their hobbies, health, and personal interest. In this talk, I will present the concept of ubiquitous analytics that is staking out a new digital future of ever-present, always-on computing; one that can support manipulating, thinking about, and interacting with data anytime, anywhere.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

New student introductions!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Much like last year, this BBL is for new students to introduce themselves, talk briefly about their projects and interests and bounce their ideas off the HCIL members. The purpose of these informal and participatory talks is to help connect new students with professors and other students sharing the same interests. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The students presenting are: Chris Musialek, Deok Gun Park, Seokbin Kang, Jonggi Hong, Sriram Karthik Badam and Majeed Kazemitabaar.&lt;br /&gt;

UIST2014 Practice Talk: Tohme: Detecting Curb Ramps in Google Street View Using Crowdsourcing, Computer Vision, and Machine Learning&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Building on recent prior work that combines Google Street View (GSV) and crowdsourcing to remotely collect information on physical world accessibility, we present the first “smart” system, Tohme, that combines machine learning, computer vision (CV), and custom crowd interfaces to find curb ramps remotely in GSV scenes. Tohme consists of two workflows, a human labeling pipeline and a CV pipeline with human verification, which are scheduled dynamically based on predicted performance. Using 1,086 GSV scenes (street intersections) from four North American cities and data from 403 crowd workers, we show that Tohme performs similarly in detecting curb ramps compared to a manual labeling approach alone (F-measure: 84% vs. 86% baseline) but at a 13% reduction in time cost. Our work contributes the first CV-based curb ramp detection system, a custom machine-learning based workflow controller, a validation of GSV as a viable curb ramp data source, and a detailed examination of why curb ramp detection is a hard problem along with steps forward.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Measuring Password Guessability for an Entire University&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Despite considerable research on passwords, empirical studies of password strength have been limited by lack of access to plaintext passwords, small data sets, and password sets specifically collected for a research study or from low-value accounts. Properties of passwords used for high-value accounts thus remain poorly understood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We fill this gap by studying the single-sign-on passwords used by over 25,000 faculty, staff, and students at a research university with a complex password policy. Key aspects of our contributions rest on our (indirect) access to plaintext passwords. We describe our data collection methodology, particularly the many precautions we took to minimize risks to users. We then analyze how guessable the collected passwords would be during an offline attack by subjecting them to a state-of-the-art password cracking algorithm. We discover significant correlations between a number of demographic and behavioral factors and password strength. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We also compare the guessability and other characteristics of the passwords we analyzed to sets previously collected in controlled experiments or leaked from low-value accounts. We find more consistent similarities between the university passwords and passwords collected for research studies under similar composition policies than we do between the university passwords and subsets of passwords leaked from low-value accounts that happen to comply with the same policies.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Exploring the role of HCI as an agent of cultural change: from health as a medical condition to health as shared, social aspiration.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Abstract: What is the role of HCI in supporting a better normal for our health, creativity, quality of life - especially if we think about health outside a medical context. I have been thinking about the concept of “make better normal” and Ben Shneiderman has challenged me to ask isn’t that the role of design in general? And most of us would agree, so what’s different when we talk about health, not as a medical condition, but as a paradigm shift, where health is a shared and supported social aspiration? In such a discussion, HCI becomes an agent not necessarily for change, but for cultural shift - assuming we might agree on what proactive health looks like in practice - so we can design to support it. As part of this discussion i’ll offer in5 as a design model for proactive health and look forward to your feedback.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Also, we might consider how the role of HCI would change in this dynamic over time. Initially, proactive health design is likely design against the status quo. For example, if the status quo is sedentary knowledge work, and the research shows that more movement during the day is better for us cognitively, physiologically, socially, then what does HCI do to help support this transition individually and culturally? What is the role and perhaps responsibility of our collaborative work with, for instance, visualisation and big data? Likewise, what is the map of this territory for us? where are the important research questions? how would we know them? Do we ourselves need to evolve a new disciplinary expertise from nutrition to neurology for proactive health tech design? I have some thoughts/experiences in this space i’d like to share to hear your insights. Also, in particular, I would also like to present the related outcomes from a Dagstuhl Workshop that happened in June to consider Grand Challenges for Interactive Technology Design for Proactive Health, and to invite you to participate in and contribute to shaping these Challenges. This exchange, i hope, will act as both this invitation and a call to action - to say that if we see the opportunities to make a real and credible difference for proactive health, do we not need to find, fundamentally, ways to better support each others’ work to have effects at scale, to model a path for others to trust and to follow?&lt;br /&gt;

ASSETS 2014 Practice Talk: Design of and Subjective Response to On-body Input for People With Visual Impairments &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For users with visual impairments, who do not necessarily need the visual display of a mobile device, non-visual on-body interaction (e.g., Imaginary Interfaces) could provide accessible input in a mobile context. Such interaction provides the potential advantages of an always-available input surface, and increased tactile and proprioceptive feedback compared to a smooth touchscreen. To investigate preferences for and design of accessible on-body interaction, we conducted a study with 12 visually impaired participants. Participants evaluated five locations for on-body input and compared on-phone to on-hand interaction with one versus two hands. Our findings show that the least preferred areas were the face/neck and the forearm, while locations on the hands were considered to be more discreet and natural. The findings also suggest that participants may prioritize social acceptability over ease of use and physical comfort when assessing the feasibility of input at different locations of the body. Finally, tradeoffs were seen in preferences for touchscreen versus on-body input, with on-body input considered useful for contexts where one hand is busy (e.g., holding a cane or dog leash). We provide implications for the design of accessible on-body input. &lt;br /&gt;

Citizen Science at Scale: Human Computation for Science, Education, and Sustainability&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Citizen science is gaining recognition as an innovative mode of scientific collaboration that engages the public in real-world research. Increased coordination and communication capacities attributed to technological advances have lead to dramatic growth in the scale, scope, and impact of public participation in science, while also enabling novel research that would not otherwise be feasible. In addition, citizen science is full interesting challenges for HCI, with notable needs and opportunities for innovation in such areas as sensors, DIY technologies, mobile applications, painless data entry, usability for &amp;quot;K through gray&amp;quot;, STEM learning technologies, and data visualization and exploration tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This talk will introduce two projects focused on supporting large-scale participation in citizen science from a data-centric perspective. In the eBird &amp;quot;human-computer learning network&amp;quot;, 40% annual growth in data submissions to one of the world&#039;s largest biodiversity data sets creates a challenge for data validation by a limited pool of experts. Our team has applied AI and machine learning to refine the system&#039;s dynamically-generated data entry interfaces, reducing the incidence of &amp;quot;false positives&amp;quot; for outlier records that require expert review. In addition, we have developed a method to estimate contributors&#039; expertise based entirely on their data submissions, and examining time series of these expertise estimates also suggests a learning effect through ongoing participation. The expertise estimates are currently being incorporated into spatio-temporal models of bird migration to reduce noise introduced by the natural variability in diverse human observers.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The second project, recently funded by the NSF CyberSEES program, will develop proof-of-concept infrastructure to deliver biodiversity data from science classrooms across the US to researchers that need data for ongoing research. Through partnerships with several sustainability science projects and the Smithsonian BioCubes program, student-generated data will be integrated with data collected by professional scientists to support ecological studies monitoring the spread and impact of invasive species, the biogeographic and evolutionary effects of climate change, and community changes in species-rich but vulnerable coastal marine ecosystems. The UMD team will investigate the factors that enable and prevent participation by both data producers (learners) and data consumers (scientists), in order to inform the design and development of current and future cyberinfrastructure.&lt;br /&gt;

Computational Journalism: From Tools to Algorithmic Accountability&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Abstract: Computational Journalism was initially conceived of as an application of computing technologies to enable journalism across information tasks such as information gathering, organization and sensemaking, storytelling, and dissemination. But computing and algorithms can also become the object of journalism. Algorithms adjudicate a large array of decisions in our lives: not just search engines and personalized online news systems, but educational evaluations, markets and political campaigns, and the management of social services like welfare and public safety. A new form of computational journalism that I call “Algorithmic Accountability Reporting” is emerging to apply the core journalistic functions of watchdogging and accountability reporting to algorithms. In this talk I will provide some perspective on the tool-oriented roots of computational journalism, and then discuss how algorithmic accountability reporting is emerging as a mechanism for elucidating and articulating the power structures, biases, and influences that computational artifacts play in society.&lt;br /&gt;

Top-Down and Bottom-Up:  Building Information Science for an Active Middle&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Abstract: Our increasingly digital society has spurred interest in information science, with a belief that it can improve health, safety, the environment, education, economic growth and more.  However, capturing these benefits will require skilled information professionals who understand and create digital solutions that improve lives in a variety of fields.   Guided by its focus on information, technology and people, the iSchool at the University of Maryland is developing an innovative BS in Information Science (BSIS) that will address the demand for such professionals.  High-level frameworks lend structure to the disparate information science activities and disciplinary domains, but lack the detail necessary to guide research and educational programs.  At this session, we will co-design the emergent BSIS curriculum that prepares students for success in a wide variety of information science careers.&lt;br /&gt;

Tracking the Body in Healthcare&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; New gesture and movement tracking technologies are offering rich possibilities for our everyday computing experiences. More than simply intuitive and non-intrusive forms of interaction these technologies can provide ways to transform behavioral practices in particular contexts. Within these contexts, there are important challenges in how we take the opportunities provided by body/movement sensing systems and design them in ways that are attuned to the demands and circumstances of a particular setting. In this talk I will explore these issues in the context of the particular setting of healthcare. I will present prior work on a Kinect-based system that uses gesture and voice recognition capabilities to enable clinicians to interact with images during surgery without compromising sterility as well as new work on sensing a Parkinson&#039;s patient&#039;s movement ability for clinical decision-making and patient empowerment.&lt;br /&gt;

Accessible Social Technology &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For better and worse, technology has changed how we connect with one another, potentially excluding those who have not kept up with changing social norms. To provide one common example: grandparents who have not adopted Facebook often find themselves excluded from family photo sharing practices. In this talk, Karyn will informally discuss recent projects targeted at drawing marginalized individuals into online social forums, with a focus on bridging diverse preferences and accommodating competing needs.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Karyn Moffatt is an assistant professor in the School of Information Studies at McGill University. Currently, her work focuses on designing tools that are sensitive to the social context in which they will be used and that seek to leverage and support those relationships.

The Talk Talk&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;So you have to give a talk, now what? Well, it&#039;s probably too late to run, and nobody likes a hider, so your best bet is to just suck it up, and start prepping your talk. But how? What should you do first? What are you even trying to accomplish here? Prepping a talk is not only a daunting prospect, but it&#039;s really easy to get lost in the details and lose sight of the big picture. In this brown bag, I&#039;ll be laying out that big picture, and providing a step-by-step roadmap of how to get there. The goal is to give rookie talk-givers a better sense of direction as they navigate the shadowy abyss of prepping a talk. I&#039;m also hoping that some of the more experienced talk-givers can chime in with some of their best tips and tricks for building a slammin&#039; talk.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Megan Monroe is a fifth year PhD student in the Computer Science Department who feels super awkward writing about herself in the third person. That being said, she has given a lot of talks, and is loosely presumed to proficient in this area.&lt;br /&gt;

Privacy Management in the Digital Age&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While regularly used for interpersonal communication, relationship maintenance, and information sharing, newer communication technologies such as Facebook and Twitter have also created significant tension between individuals’ desire to maintain privacy and to be engaged participants in online communities. Problems arise due to the increasing diversity of users on these sites, a lack of privacy management knowledge and/or skills, and the often-changing privacy standards of the sites themselves. Rather than proactively engaging this complexity, many users employ reactive privacy management strategies—until something bad happens to me, I won’t worry about the information I’m sharing.&lt;br /&gt;
Understanding how people conceptualize privacy and how that conceptualization influences behavior is increasingly important in today’s networked world, as individuals—and information—are now connected in more ways than ever before. The affordances of social media distinguish them from other communication channels, both on- and offline, with content being easier to search and archive, while people and content are more highly linked within systems. Thus, the consequences of employing more reactive strategies are far-reaching, with potential impacts on personal relationships, financials, work, and beyond. In this talk, I’ll highlight some of my recent findings on this topic as well as overview my expected research trajectory for the next few years in this very active space. &lt;br /&gt;

In this talk, Chris (and others) will lead a talk and discussion about GitHub. Generally, Chris will give an overview of GitHub and facilitate a discussion about why the HCIL might want to adopt GitHub in some way, perhaps by making an &amp;quot;Organization&amp;quot; entity under which projects can be created and students, faculty, and others in the HCIL can check in their code.&lt;br /&gt;

From Digital Footprints to Social Insights&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The pervasiveness of cell phones, mobile applications and social media is generating vast amounts of information that can reveal a wide range of human behavior. From mobility patterns to social connections, these signals expose insights about how humans behave and interact with their environment. While a lot of work has focused on analyzing behaviors, relatively little effort has been dedicated to understanding ways in which such findings could be useful to decision makers in areas like smart cities or public health. In this talk I will discuss two projects: (1) AlertImpact, an agent-based framework that uses geo-referenced cell phone data to model the impact of the preventive actions implemented by the Mexican government during the H1N1 flu outbreak and (2) TweetLand, a method to automatically identify urban land uses and landmarks (point of interest) using tweeting patterns.&lt;br /&gt;

Bridging ICT4D lessons from the NGO sector towards academia ([https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2618031/Alex%20Pompe%20UMD%20Presentation.pptx Slides])&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract: ICT4D professionals in both the academic and NGO areas stand to benefit from greater collaboration, awareness, and transparency of experiences. However, often at conferences both groups are frustrated due to a lack of common understanding and misconceptions. This talk will present a number of case studies from IREX&#039;s ICT work in a variety of regions focused on providing open discussion and discourse so that lessons from all development practitioners can be lent towards improving processes on both sides of the table. The talk will also include discussion of internships and job skills in the ICT4D sector from an NGO employer&#039;s perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; As a Senior Technical Advisor at IREX, Alex Pompe is a lead member of the Center for Collaborative Technology managing the NGO&#039;s ICT4D consulting portfolio. Clients come for a range of countries such as Sri Lanka, Malaysia, India, Nepal, Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, and Bhutan. This work focuses on public access to information barriers and community assessment methodologies. He oversees the Libraries for Development program in Namibia, the Tech Age Teachers program in Tunisia, and the New Education Technology program in Kazakhstan.

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The goal of this session is to provide several students at various points in their academic programs&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
, but especially new students, with a chance to talk about (1) their interests, (2) the projects to which they&#039;ve contributed, and (3) those they&#039;d like to do. Our hope is that this will allow new students to introduce themselves and convey their interests in a way that helps them find others with shared interests and form working relationships on projects with professors and other students. Students will have 5–8 minutes to introduce themselves and their interests, their previous and current projects, skills and expertise, and their future interests in HCI and the HCIL. Hopefully, this will help new students connect with professors and other students with whom they share interests and can work together on research projects. Following talks will be about 10 minutes for discussion with the presenting students (perhaps for asking them to join a project team).&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Everybody’s internet? :Designing for mobile-centric internet users in the developing world &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Within 5 years, wireless broadband services will cover 85% of the world’s population, &lt;br /&gt;
and data-enabled mobile (cellular) devices will outnumber personal computers and &lt;br /&gt;
tablets. This talk, taken from a book in preparation, details the growing importance &lt;br /&gt;
of ‘mobile-centric internet use’ in the developing world, raising questions and &lt;br /&gt;
challenges for design.&lt;br /&gt;
A breathlessly optimistic narrative has proclaimed the mobile phone the device &lt;br /&gt;
which will finally close the ‘digital divide’, but the digital world does not run &lt;br /&gt;
exclusively on mobile handsets. To guide policy and technical investments in &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development— I argue that it is better to reframe and view the &lt;br /&gt;
mobile handset as one piece of a person’s digital repertoire, which also might include &lt;br /&gt;
PCs, telecentres, TVs, tablets, and other devices. &lt;br /&gt;
In the talk and in the book I revisit some of my previous studies in three domains of &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development: microenterprises and livelihoods, citizen journalism, &lt;br /&gt;
and secondary education. Across each, I celebrate the transformational potential of &lt;br /&gt;
the mobile phone. Yet, in each case, I use the “digital repertoires” lens to raise &lt;br /&gt;
concerns, identifying how the capacity to generate, produce, and curate information &lt;br /&gt;
may remain concentrated among those with better resources to secure digital tools,&lt;br /&gt;
and the skills and incentives to use them. The person with $30 basic data-enabled &lt;br /&gt;
phone and the person with a smartphone and a state-of-the-art $1000 desktop &lt;br /&gt;
computer both can connect to the internet; however, it is not the same internet.&lt;br /&gt;
Yet these persistent digital stratifications can be reduced if technologists, &lt;br /&gt;
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers work to ensure that constrained digital &lt;br /&gt;
repertoires enable not only coordination and consumption (which phones already do &lt;br /&gt;
well), but also contribution (which they do less well). From natural user interfaces to &lt;br /&gt;
language support to bandwidth pricing, there are concrete ways in which more &lt;br /&gt;
empathetic design and policy can help a greater proportion of the world’s &lt;br /&gt;
inhabitants be more productive with their ICTs. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research India seeks to address the needs and aspirations of people in the world&#039;s developing communities. Our research targets people who are just beginning to use computing technologies and services as well as those for whom access to computing still remains largely out of reach. Most of our work falls under the rubric of the relatively young field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD or ICT4D). By combining a variety of backgrounds and training, we are able to engage deeply with some of the complex problems associated with poverty and scarce resources. Our goal is to study, design, build, and evaluate technologies and systems that are useful for people living in underserved rural and urban communities around the world. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the recent work in the group, focusing on projects that explore modalities and interactions specifically designed for the unique contexts and users we’re working with:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1) VideoKheti: A prototype multimodal system to help low-literate farmers search for agricultural extension videos on smart phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2) IVR Junction: A platform for building scalable and distributed voice forums for users with low-end phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3) Massively Empowered Classrooms (MEC): A project to explore how innovations in MOOCs and blended learning can be applied to second-tier, large-scale engineering education in India.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4) Maybe something else, depending on the interests of the audience&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed&amp;quot;&amp;gt; HCI and Networking - Taming the Internet One Bit at a Time&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As we become more dependent on high speed Internet, we increasingly have to deal with making sure our devices are connected properly, that we&#039;re getting the speeds we need, and that we&#039;re making efficient use of our data. Yet often, Internet connections break or do not work as planned, causing us endless headaches. We also have to juggle constraints such as slow speeds, limited bandwidth, and high data costs depending on our location and use. My research focuses on helping users manage Internet connectivity in their homes, the workplace, and on the go, particularly under constraints of low resources and high costs. In this talk, I&#039;ll go over how I use HCI and networking to reach the goal of taming the Internet for everyday users and talk about future directions.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;=Printing=&lt;br /&gt;
Use Black and White printer whenever possible because its ink is cheaper (even than the black ink on the color printer).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Tips and Tricks ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Use the COLOR PRINTER ONLY WHEN YOU NEED COLOR.  (&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:red&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;The black ink on the color printer is TWICE as expensive as the black ink on the b/w printer&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.)  &lt;br /&gt;
* Always print DOUBLE-SIDED to save paper&lt;br /&gt;
* Ask your adviser if you are not sure where the paper for your needs is supposed to come from &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Need to Print Something Really Big?===&lt;br /&gt;
* Consider printing/copying in your home department which will have better printing capability (e.g. CS or UMIACS)&lt;br /&gt;
* e.g. for CS students see: http://www.cs.umd.edu/faq/faq.html to print in AVW&lt;br /&gt;
* Someone can add info for the iSchool folks here &amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; ??? &amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Printing in Black and White ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The black and white printer is the small black one on the right.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our black and white printer is a Brother HL-5450DN Laser Printer. It has automatic duplexing (just like the color printer). We prefer that you &#039;&#039;&#039;use the black and white printer for a majority of your printing&#039;&#039;&#039; and the color printer for your publication submissions (e.g., to investigate how a chart or figure looks printed in color). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===B/W Printer Setup: IP Address: 128.8.225.52===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you need to install the black and white printer, specify the printer using its ip address: 128.8.225.52 and select the Brother HL-5450DN driver (or a generic postscript driver). If you have problems, see Anne Rose to get the installation CD or download it online.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Printing in Color ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CodyPrinter.png|thumb|Cody with the new printer.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The color printer is the tall white one on the left.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our color printer is a Brother MFC-9970CDW Laser Printer. Here&#039;s a link to the manual (PDF). Please be aware that &#039;&#039;&#039;the color printer (even when using only black ink) is more than twice as expensive as the black and white printer&#039;&#039;&#039; so please use this printer conservatively. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This printer also scans documents, with both a flatbed and a duplex feeder option, so you can scan two sides at once.  It scans up to 1200x2400 dpi.  It can also email you the document, if you give it an @umd.edu address.  (Nothing else, though, like @cs.umd.edu or @terpmail.edu...Those will break it.)  And, of course, you can copy documents by printing from the flatbed.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It can print duplex, up to 2400x600 dpi, from the network or a USB flash drive at 30 pages/minute.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Color Printer Setup===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Windows Printer Setup ====&lt;br /&gt;

* Click &amp;quot;Next&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
* Enter 128.8.225.92 as the hostname or IP address (you don&#039;t have to fill in port name, it will fill automatically) &lt;br /&gt;
:: Wait...a long time... &lt;br /&gt;
* You will get a prompt saying &amp;quot;additional port information required&amp;quot;. Click &amp;quot;Next&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
:: Wait...a long time... &lt;br /&gt;
* Choose &amp;quot;Brother&amp;quot; in the &amp;quot;Manufacturer&amp;quot; column &lt;br /&gt;
* In the &amp;quot;Printers&amp;quot; column, select &amp;quot;Brother MFC-9970CDW&amp;quot; if it is listed. If it is not, click &amp;quot;Windows Update&amp;quot; and wait...a long time... Then select &amp;quot;Brother MFC-9970CDW&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
* Click &amp;quot;Next&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
* Enter a name for the printer then click &amp;quot;Next&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* Click on the IP icon&lt;br /&gt;
* Select Protocol: Internet Printing Protocol -  IPP&lt;br /&gt;
* Enter in &amp;quot;128.8.225.92&amp;quot; for the address&lt;br /&gt;
* In the lower section, for &#039;Name&#039; feel free to use whatever name you&#039;d like but including something like &amp;quot;Brother MFC-9970CDW&amp;quot; might be a good choice.&lt;br /&gt;
* Select Print Using: &amp;quot;Select Print Software&amp;quot; -&amp;gt; &amp;quot;Brother MFC-9970CDW CUPS&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
::&#039;&#039;If this option isn&#039;t available, you may need to download it from the link provided below&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Click Add&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Downloading Drivers ====&lt;br /&gt;

(Please let Charley know when printer ink is running low, so ey can buy more.)  &lt;br /&gt;
Amazon has a selection of high-yield replacement toner cartridges with yields of approximately 3,500 pages rather than 1,500 (it makes sense to purchase the high-yield cartridges because they offer better value): &lt;br /&gt;

= Setting Up Printer =&lt;br /&gt;
Cody and Jon got the MFC-9970CDW Laser Printer on the network in a very hacky way. You don&#039;t need to know these details unless something went very wrong and the printer no longer has network access. Ask Jon for more details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Printer ip: 128.8.225.92&lt;br /&gt;
Internal ip: 192.168.1.2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Brother9970Port.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You must open port 9100 on the Hackerspace router to get network printing to work!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If you are connected to the HAckerspace WiFi, you can connect to the printer directly in your browser by going to 192.168.1.2 and typing in:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
login: user&lt;br /&gt;
password: access&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to Cody Dunne for helping Jon setup and configure the printer (it required some heavy lifting and some clever network hacking to get it to work). We locked down the touchscreen &amp;quot;Menu&amp;quot; icon so that you have to enter a password to change the configuration (we did so mainly because we had to setup a number of things and we didn&#039;t want them accidentally changed). However, if you need to update a configuration setting, use this password: 2117.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;The HCIL has an open semi-organized weekly &amp;quot;brown bag lunch (BBL)&amp;quot; on every &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;Thursdays from 12:30-1:30pm in HCIL (2105 Hornbake, South Wing)&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.  The topics range from someone&#039;s work, current interest to the HCIL, a software demo/review, a study design, a proposed research topic, an introduction to a new person, etc.   The BBL is the one hour a week where we all come together--thus, it’s a unique time for HCIL members with unique opportunities to help build collaborations, increase awareness of each other’s activities, and generally just have a bit of fun together with &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;free food every week&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To sign up for a session, send an email to  [[Brown Bag Lunch Coordinators|BBL student co-coordinator]] &#039;&#039;&#039;Michael Gubbels (mgubbels@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Tak Yeon Lee (tylee@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039;.

Ubiquitous Analytics: Interacting with Big Data Anywhere, Anytime&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; ABSTRACT:&lt;br /&gt;
Computing is becoming increasingly embedded in our everyday lives:&lt;br /&gt;
mobile devices are growing smaller yet more powerful, large displays&lt;br /&gt;
are getting cheaper, and our physical environments are turning&lt;br /&gt;
intelligent and are integrating an increasing number of digital&lt;br /&gt;
processors. Meanwhile, data is everywhere, and people need to&lt;br /&gt;
leverage all of this digital infrastructure to turn it into&lt;br /&gt;
actionable information about their hobbies, health, and personal&lt;br /&gt;
interest. In this talk, I will present the concept of ubiquitous&lt;br /&gt;
analytics that is staking out a new digital future of ever-present,&lt;br /&gt;
always-on computing; one that can support manipulating, thinking&lt;br /&gt;
about, and interacting with data anytime, anywhere.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; We did this last year with great success. All new students create a short talk (e.g., 3-5 minutes depending on the number of students who sign up) about themselves, their backgrounds, their interests, their short term goals for this year, and long term goals as PhD students.&lt;br /&gt;

Tracking the Body in Healthcare&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; New gesture and movement tracking technologies are offering rich possibilities for our everyday computing experiences. More than simply intuitive and non-intrusive forms of interaction these technologies can provide ways to transform behavioral practices in particular contexts. Within these contexts, there are important challenges in how we take the opportunities provided by body/movement sensing systems and design them in ways that are attuned to the demands and circumstances of a particular setting. In this talk I will explore these issues in the context of the particular setting of healthcare. I will present prior work on a Kinect-based system that uses gesture and voice recognition capabilities to enable clinicians to interact with images during surgery without compromising sterility as well as new work on sensing a Parkinson&#039;s patient&#039;s movement ability for clinical decision-making and patient empowerment.&lt;br /&gt;

Accessible Social Technology &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For better and worse, technology has changed how we connect with one another, potentially excluding those who have not kept up with changing social norms. To provide one common example: grandparents who have not adopted Facebook often find themselves excluded from family photo sharing practices. In this talk, Karyn will informally discuss recent projects targeted at drawing marginalized individuals into online social forums, with a focus on bridging diverse preferences and accommodating competing needs.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Karyn Moffatt is an assistant professor in the School of Information Studies at McGill University. Currently, her work focuses on designing tools that are sensitive to the social context in which they will be used and that seek to leverage and support those relationships. Prior to joining McGill University, Karyn was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Toronto supported by awards from NSERC and CIHR’s Health Care, Technology, and Place strategic initiative. She received her doctorate in computer science from the University of British Columbia in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;

The Talk Talk&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;So you have to give a talk, now what? Well, it&#039;s probably too late to run, and nobody likes a hider, so your best bet is to just suck it up, and start prepping your talk. But how? What should you do first? What are you even trying to accomplish here? Prepping a talk is not only a daunting prospect, but it&#039;s really easy to get lost in the details and lose sight of the big picture. In this brown bag, I&#039;ll be laying out that big picture, and providing a step-by-step roadmap of how to get there. The goal is to give rookie talk-givers a better sense of direction as they navigate the shadowy abyss of prepping a talk. I&#039;m also hoping that some of the more experienced talk-givers can chime in with some of their best tips and tricks for building a slammin&#039; talk.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Megan Monroe is a fifth year PhD student in the Computer Science Department who feels super awkward writing about herself in the third person. That being said, she has given a lot of talks, and is loosely presumed to proficient in this area.&lt;br /&gt;

Privacy Management in the Digital Age&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While regularly used for interpersonal communication, relationship maintenance, and information sharing, newer communication technologies such as Facebook and Twitter have also created significant tension between individuals’ desire to maintain privacy and to be engaged participants in online communities. Problems arise due to the increasing diversity of users on these sites, a lack of privacy management knowledge and/or skills, and the often-changing privacy standards of the sites themselves. Rather than proactively engaging this complexity, many users employ reactive privacy management strategies—until something bad happens to me, I won’t worry about the information I’m sharing.&lt;br /&gt;
Understanding how people conceptualize privacy and how that conceptualization influences behavior is increasingly important in today’s networked world, as individuals—and information—are now connected in more ways than ever before. The affordances of social media distinguish them from other communication channels, both on- and offline, with content being easier to search and archive, while people and content are more highly linked within systems. Thus, the consequences of employing more reactive strategies are far-reaching, with potential impacts on personal relationships, financials, work, and beyond. In this talk, I’ll highlight some of my recent findings on this topic as well as overview my expected research trajectory for the next few years in this very active space. &lt;br /&gt;

Talk and discussion about GitHub and why the HCIL may want to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In this talk, Chris (and others) will lead a talk and discussion about GitHub. Generally, Chris will give an overview of GitHub and facilitate a discussion about why the HCIL might want to adopt GitHub in some way, perhaps by making an &amp;quot;Organization&amp;quot; entity under which projects can be created and students, faculty, and others in the HCIL can check in their code.&lt;br /&gt;

From Digital Footprints to Social Insights&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The pervasiveness of cell phones, mobile applications and social media is generating vast amounts of information that can reveal a wide range of human behavior. From mobility patterns to social connections, these signals expose insights about how humans behave and interact with their environment. While a lot of work has focused on analyzing behaviors, relatively little effort has been dedicated to understanding ways in which such findings could be useful to decision makers in areas like smart cities or public health. In this talk I will discuss two projects: (1) AlertImpact, an agent-based framework that uses geo-referenced cell phone data to model the impact of the preventive actions implemented by the Mexican government during the H1N1 flu outbreak and (2) TweetLand, a method to automatically identify urban land uses and landmarks (point of interest) using tweeting patterns.&lt;br /&gt;

Bridging ICT4D lessons from the NGO sector towards academia ([https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2618031/Alex%20Pompe%20UMD%20Presentation.pptx Slides])&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract: ICT4D professionals in both the academic and NGO areas stand to benefit from greater collaboration, awareness, and transparency of experiences. However, often at conferences both groups are frustrated due to a lack of common understanding and misconceptions. This talk will present a number of case studies from IREX&#039;s ICT work in a variety of regions focused on providing open discussion and discourse so that lessons from all development practitioners can be lent towards improving processes on both sides of the table. The talk will also include discussion of internships and job skills in the ICT4D sector from an NGO employer&#039;s perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; As a Senior Technical Advisor at IREX, Alex Pompe is a lead member of the Center for Collaborative Technology managing the NGO&#039;s ICT4D consulting portfolio. Clients come for a range of countries such as Sri Lanka, Malaysia, India, Nepal, Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, and Bhutan. This work focuses on public access to information barriers and community assessment methodologies. He oversees the Libraries for Development program in Namibia, the Tech Age Teachers program in Tunisia, and the New Education Technology program in Kazakhstan. He splits time between the IREX DC and Namibia offices.&lt;br /&gt;
Alex holds a BS in physics from the University of Illinois, and an MSI from the University of Michigan School of Information. He focused on information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D).&lt;br /&gt;

The goal of this session is to provide several students at various points in their academic programs&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
, but especially new students, with a chance to talk about (1) their interests, (2) the projects to which they&#039;ve contributed, and (3) those they&#039;d like to do. Our hope is that this will allow new students to introduce themselves and convey their interests in a way that helps them find others with shared interests and form working relationships on projects with professors and other students. Students will have 5–8 minutes to introduce themselves and their interests, their previous and current projects, skills and expertise, and their future interests in HCI and the HCIL. Hopefully, this will help new students connect with professors and other students with whom they share interests and can work together on research projects. Following talks will be about 10 minutes for discussion with the presenting students (perhaps for asking them to join a project team).&lt;br /&gt;

Everybody’s internet? :Designing for mobile-centric internet users in the developing world &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Within 5 years, wireless broadband services will cover 85% of the world’s population, &lt;br /&gt;
and data-enabled mobile (cellular) devices will outnumber personal computers and &lt;br /&gt;
tablets. This talk, taken from a book in preparation, details the growing importance &lt;br /&gt;
of ‘mobile-centric internet use’ in the developing world, raising questions and &lt;br /&gt;
challenges for design.&lt;br /&gt;
A breathlessly optimistic narrative has proclaimed the mobile phone the device &lt;br /&gt;
which will finally close the ‘digital divide’, but the digital world does not run &lt;br /&gt;
exclusively on mobile handsets. To guide policy and technical investments in &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development— I argue that it is better to reframe and view the &lt;br /&gt;
mobile handset as one piece of a person’s digital repertoire, which also might include &lt;br /&gt;
PCs, telecentres, TVs, tablets, and other devices. &lt;br /&gt;
In the talk and in the book I revisit some of my previous studies in three domains of &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development: microenterprises and livelihoods, citizen journalism, &lt;br /&gt;
and secondary education. Across each, I celebrate the transformational potential of &lt;br /&gt;
the mobile phone. Yet, in each case, I use the “digital repertoires” lens to raise &lt;br /&gt;
concerns, identifying how the capacity to generate, produce, and curate information &lt;br /&gt;
may remain concentrated among those with better resources to secure digital tools,&lt;br /&gt;
and the skills and incentives to use them. The person with $30 basic data-enabled &lt;br /&gt;
phone and the person with a smartphone and a state-of-the-art $1000 desktop &lt;br /&gt;
computer both can connect to the internet; however, it is not the same internet.&lt;br /&gt;
Yet these persistent digital stratifications can be reduced if technologists, &lt;br /&gt;
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers work to ensure that constrained digital &lt;br /&gt;
repertoires enable not only coordination and consumption (which phones already do &lt;br /&gt;
well), but also contribution (which they do less well). From natural user interfaces to &lt;br /&gt;
language support to bandwidth pricing, there are concrete ways in which more &lt;br /&gt;
empathetic design and policy can help a greater proportion of the world’s &lt;br /&gt;
inhabitants be more productive with their ICTs. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research India seeks to address the needs and aspirations of people in the world&#039;s developing communities. Our research targets people who are just beginning to use computing technologies and services as well as those for whom access to computing still remains largely out of reach. Most of our work falls under the rubric of the relatively young field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD or ICT4D). By combining a variety of backgrounds and training, we are able to engage deeply with some of the complex problems associated with poverty and scarce resources. Our goal is to study, design, build, and evaluate technologies and systems that are useful for people living in underserved rural and urban communities around the world. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the recent work in the group, focusing on projects that explore modalities and interactions specifically designed for the unique contexts and users we’re working with:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1) VideoKheti: A prototype multimodal system to help low-literate farmers search for agricultural extension videos on smart phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2) IVR Junction: A platform for building scalable and distributed voice forums for users with low-end phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3) Massively Empowered Classrooms (MEC): A project to explore how innovations in MOOCs and blended learning can be applied to second-tier, large-scale engineering education in India.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4) Maybe something else, depending on the interests of the audience&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As we become more dependent on high speed Internet, we increasingly have to deal with making sure our devices are connected properly, that we&#039;re getting the speeds we need, and that we&#039;re making efficient use of our data. Yet often, Internet connections break or do not work as planned, causing us endless headaches. We also have to juggle constraints such as slow speeds, limited bandwidth, and high data costs depending on our location and use. My research focuses on helping users manage Internet connectivity in their homes, the workplace, and on the go, particularly under constraints of low resources and high costs. In this talk, I&#039;ll go over how I use HCI and networking to reach the goal of taming the Internet for everyday users and talk about future directions.&lt;br /&gt;

Ubiquitous Analytics: Interacting with Big Data Anywhere, Anytime&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; ABSTRACT:&lt;br /&gt;
Computing is becoming increasingly embedded in our everyday lives:&lt;br /&gt;
mobile devices are growing smaller yet more powerful, large displays&lt;br /&gt;
are getting cheaper, and our physical environments are turning&lt;br /&gt;
intelligent and are integrating an increasing number of digital&lt;br /&gt;
processors. Meanwhile, data is everywhere, and people need to&lt;br /&gt;
leverage all of this digital infrastructure to turn it into&lt;br /&gt;
actionable information about their hobbies, health, and personal&lt;br /&gt;
interest. In this talk, I will present the concept of ubiquitous&lt;br /&gt;
analytics that is staking out a new digital future of ever-present,&lt;br /&gt;
always-on computing; one that can support manipulating, thinking&lt;br /&gt;
about, and interacting with data anytime, anywhere.&lt;br /&gt;

Tracking the Body in Healthcare&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; New gesture and movement tracking technologies are offering rich possibilities for our everyday computing experiences. More than simply intuitive and non-intrusive forms of interaction these technologies can provide ways to transform behavioral practices in particular contexts. Within these contexts, there are important challenges in how we take the opportunities provided by body/movement sensing systems and design them in ways that are attuned to the demands and circumstances of a particular setting. In this talk I will explore these issues in the context of the particular setting of healthcare. I will present prior work on a Kinect-based system that uses gesture and voice recognition capabilities to enable clinicians to interact with images during surgery without compromising sterility as well as new work on sensing a Parkinson&#039;s patient&#039;s movement ability for clinical decision-making and patient empowerment.&lt;br /&gt;

Accessible Social Technology &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For better and worse, technology has changed how we connect with one another, potentially excluding those who have not kept up with changing social norms. To provide one common example: grandparents who have not adopted Facebook often find themselves excluded from family photo sharing practices. In this talk, Karyn will informally discuss recent projects targeted at drawing marginalized individuals into online social forums, with a focus on bridging diverse preferences and accommodating competing needs.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Karyn Moffatt is an assistant professor in the School of Information Studies at McGill University. Currently, her work focuses on designing tools that are sensitive to the social context in which they will be used and that seek to leverage and support those relationships. Prior to joining McGill University, Karyn was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Toronto supported by awards from NSERC and CIHR’s Health Care, Technology, and Place strategic initiative. She received her doctorate in computer science from the University of British Columbia in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;So you have to give a talk, now what? Well, it&#039;s probably too late to run, and nobody likes a hider, so your best bet is to just suck it up, and start prepping your talk. But how? What should you do first? What are you even trying to accomplish here? Prepping a talk is not only a daunting prospect, but it&#039;s really easy to get lost in the details and lose sight of the big picture. In this brown bag, I&#039;ll be laying out that big picture, and providing a step-by-step roadmap of how to get there. The goal is to give rookie talk-givers a better sense of direction as they navigate the shadowy abyss of prepping a talk. I&#039;m also hoping that some of the more experienced talk-givers can chime in with some of their best tips and tricks for building a slammin&#039; talk.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Megan Monroe is a fifth year PhD student in the Computer Science Department who feels super awkward writing about herself in the third person. That being said, she has given a lot of talks, and is loosely presumed to proficient in this area.&lt;br /&gt;

Privacy Management in the Digital Age&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While regularly used for interpersonal communication, relationship maintenance, and information sharing, newer communication technologies such as Facebook and Twitter have also created significant tension between individuals’ desire to maintain privacy and to be engaged participants in online communities. Problems arise due to the increasing diversity of users on these sites, a lack of privacy management knowledge and/or skills, and the often-changing privacy standards of the sites themselves. Rather than proactively engaging this complexity, many users employ reactive privacy management strategies—until something bad happens to me, I won’t worry about the information I’m sharing.&lt;br /&gt;
Understanding how people conceptualize privacy and how that conceptualization influences behavior is increasingly important in today’s networked world, as individuals—and information—are now connected in more ways than ever before. The affordances of social media distinguish them from other communication channels, both on- and offline, with content being easier to search and archive, while people and content are more highly linked within systems. Thus, the consequences of employing more reactive strategies are far-reaching, with potential impacts on personal relationships, financials, work, and beyond. In this talk, I’ll highlight some of my recent findings on this topic as well as overview my expected research trajectory for the next few years in this very active space. &lt;br /&gt;

Talk and discussion about GitHub and why the HCIL may want to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In this talk, Chris (and others) will lead a talk and discussion about GitHub. Generally, Chris will give an overview of GitHub and facilitate a discussion about why the HCIL might want to adopt GitHub in some way, perhaps by making an &amp;quot;Organization&amp;quot; entity under which projects can be created and students, faculty, and others in the HCIL can check in their code.&lt;br /&gt;

From Digital Footprints to Social Insights&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The pervasiveness of cell phones, mobile applications and social media is generating vast amounts of information that can reveal a wide range of human behavior. From mobility patterns to social connections, these signals expose insights about how humans behave and interact with their environment. While a lot of work has focused on analyzing behaviors, relatively little effort has been dedicated to understanding ways in which such findings could be useful to decision makers in areas like smart cities or public health. In this talk I will discuss two projects: (1) AlertImpact, an agent-based framework that uses geo-referenced cell phone data to model the impact of the preventive actions implemented by the Mexican government during the H1N1 flu outbreak and (2) TweetLand, a method to automatically identify urban land uses and landmarks (point of interest) using tweeting patterns.&lt;br /&gt;

Bridging ICT4D lessons from the NGO sector towards academia ([https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2618031/Alex%20Pompe%20UMD%20Presentation.pptx Slides])&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract: ICT4D professionals in both the academic and NGO areas stand to benefit from greater collaboration, awareness, and transparency of experiences. However, often at conferences both groups are frustrated due to a lack of common understanding and misconceptions. This talk will present a number of case studies from IREX&#039;s ICT work in a variety of regions focused on providing open discussion and discourse so that lessons from all development practitioners can be lent towards improving processes on both sides of the table. The talk will also include discussion of internships and job skills in the ICT4D sector from an NGO employer&#039;s perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; As a Senior Technical Advisor at IREX, Alex Pompe is a lead member of the Center for Collaborative Technology managing the NGO&#039;s ICT4D consulting portfolio. Clients come for a range of countries such as Sri Lanka, Malaysia, India, Nepal, Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, and Bhutan. This work focuses on public access to information barriers and community assessment methodologies. He oversees the Libraries for Development program in Namibia, the Tech Age Teachers program in Tunisia, and the New Education Technology program in Kazakhstan. He splits time between the IREX DC and Namibia offices.&lt;br /&gt;

The goal of this session is to provide several students at various points in their academic programs&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
, but especially new students, with a chance to talk about (1) their interests, (2) the projects to which they&#039;ve contributed, and (3) those they&#039;d like to do. Our hope is that this will allow new students to introduce themselves and convey their interests in a way that helps them find others with shared interests and form working relationships on projects with professors and other students. Students will have 5–8 minutes to introduce themselves and their interests, their previous and current projects, skills and expertise, and their future interests in HCI and the HCIL. Hopefully, this will help new students connect with professors and other students with whom they share interests and can work together on research projects. Following talks will be about 10 minutes for discussion with the presenting students (perhaps for asking them to join a project team).&lt;br /&gt;

Everybody’s internet? :Designing for mobile-centric internet users in the developing world &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Within 5 years, wireless broadband services will cover 85% of the world’s population, &lt;br /&gt;
and data-enabled mobile (cellular) devices will outnumber personal computers and &lt;br /&gt;
tablets. This talk, taken from a book in preparation, details the growing importance &lt;br /&gt;
of ‘mobile-centric internet use’ in the developing world, raising questions and &lt;br /&gt;
challenges for design.&lt;br /&gt;
A breathlessly optimistic narrative has proclaimed the mobile phone the device &lt;br /&gt;
which will finally close the ‘digital divide’, but the digital world does not run &lt;br /&gt;
exclusively on mobile handsets. To guide policy and technical investments in &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development— I argue that it is better to reframe and view the &lt;br /&gt;
mobile handset as one piece of a person’s digital repertoire, which also might include &lt;br /&gt;
PCs, telecentres, TVs, tablets, and other devices. &lt;br /&gt;
In the talk and in the book I revisit some of my previous studies in three domains of &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development: microenterprises and livelihoods, citizen journalism, &lt;br /&gt;
and secondary education. Across each, I celebrate the transformational potential of &lt;br /&gt;
the mobile phone. Yet, in each case, I use the “digital repertoires” lens to raise &lt;br /&gt;
concerns, identifying how the capacity to generate, produce, and curate information &lt;br /&gt;
may remain concentrated among those with better resources to secure digital tools,&lt;br /&gt;
and the skills and incentives to use them. The person with $30 basic data-enabled &lt;br /&gt;
phone and the person with a smartphone and a state-of-the-art $1000 desktop &lt;br /&gt;
computer both can connect to the internet; however, it is not the same internet.&lt;br /&gt;
Yet these persistent digital stratifications can be reduced if technologists, &lt;br /&gt;
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers work to ensure that constrained digital &lt;br /&gt;
repertoires enable not only coordination and consumption (which phones already do &lt;br /&gt;
well), but also contribution (which they do less well). From natural user interfaces to &lt;br /&gt;
language support to bandwidth pricing, there are concrete ways in which more &lt;br /&gt;
empathetic design and policy can help a greater proportion of the world’s &lt;br /&gt;
inhabitants be more productive with their ICTs. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research India seeks to address the needs and aspirations of people in the world&#039;s developing communities. Our research targets people who are just beginning to use computing technologies and services as well as those for whom access to computing still remains largely out of reach. Most of our work falls under the rubric of the relatively young field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD or ICT4D). By combining a variety of backgrounds and training, we are able to engage deeply with some of the complex problems associated with poverty and scarce resources. Our goal is to study, design, build, and evaluate technologies and systems that are useful for people living in underserved rural and urban communities around the world. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the recent work in the group, focusing on projects that explore modalities and interactions specifically designed for the unique contexts and users we’re working with:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1) VideoKheti: A prototype multimodal system to help low-literate farmers search for agricultural extension videos on smart phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2) IVR Junction: A platform for building scalable and distributed voice forums for users with low-end phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3) Massively Empowered Classrooms (MEC): A project to explore how innovations in MOOCs and blended learning can be applied to second-tier, large-scale engineering education in India.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4) Maybe something else, depending on the interests of the audience&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As we become more dependent on high speed Internet, we increasingly have to deal with making sure our devices are connected properly, that we&#039;re getting the speeds we need, and that we&#039;re making efficient use of our data. Yet often, Internet connections break or do not work as planned, causing us endless headaches. We also have to juggle constraints such as slow speeds, limited bandwidth, and high data costs depending on our location and use. My research focuses on helping users manage Internet connectivity in their homes, the workplace, and on the go, particularly under constraints of low resources and high costs. In this talk, I&#039;ll go over how I use HCI and networking to reach the goal of taming the Internet for everyday users and talk about future directions.&lt;br /&gt;

Ubiquitous Analytics: Interacting with Big Data Anywhere, Anytime&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; ABSTRACT:&lt;br /&gt;
Computing is becoming increasingly embedded in our everyday lives:&lt;br /&gt;
mobile devices are growing smaller yet more powerful, large displays&lt;br /&gt;
are getting cheaper, and our physical environments are turning&lt;br /&gt;
intelligent and are integrating an increasing number of digital&lt;br /&gt;
processors. Meanwhile, data is everywhere, and people need to&lt;br /&gt;
leverage all of this digital infrastructure to turn it into&lt;br /&gt;
actionable information about their hobbies, health, and personal&lt;br /&gt;
interest. In this talk, I will present the concept of ubiquitous&lt;br /&gt;
analytics that is staking out a new digital future of ever-present,&lt;br /&gt;
always-on computing; one that can support manipulating, thinking&lt;br /&gt;
about, and interacting with data anytime, anywhere.&lt;br /&gt;

Tracking the Body in Healthcare&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; New gesture and movement tracking technologies are offering rich possibilities for our everyday computing experiences. More than simply intuitive and non-intrusive forms of interaction these technologies can provide ways to transform behavioral practices in particular contexts. Within these contexts, there are important challenges in how we take the opportunities provided by body/movement sensing systems and design them in ways that are attuned to the demands and circumstances of a particular setting. In this talk I will explore these issues in the context of the particular setting of healthcare. I will present prior work on a Kinect-based system that uses gesture and voice recognition capabilities to enable clinicians to interact with images during surgery without compromising sterility as well as new work on sensing a Parkinson&#039;s patient&#039;s movement ability for clinical decision-making and patient empowerment.&lt;br /&gt;

Accessible Social Technology &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For better and worse, technology has changed how we connect with one another, potentially excluding those who have not kept up with changing social norms. To provide one common example: grandparents who have not adopted Facebook often find themselves excluded from family photo sharing practices. In this talk, Karyn will informally discuss recent projects targeted at drawing marginalized individuals into online social forums, with a focus on bridging diverse preferences and accommodating competing needs.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Karyn Moffatt is an assistant professor in the School of Information Studies at McGill University. Currently, her work focuses on designing tools that are sensitive to the social context in which they will be used and that seek to leverage and support those relationships. Prior to joining McGill University, Karyn was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Toronto supported by awards from NSERC and CIHR’s Health Care, Technology, and Place strategic initiative. She received her doctorate in computer science from the University of British Columbia in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;

The Talk Talk&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;So you have to give a talk, now what? Well, it&#039;s probably too late to run, and nobody likes a hider, so your best bet is to just suck it up, and start prepping your talk. But how? What should you do first? What are you even trying to accomplish here? Prepping a talk is not only a daunting prospect, but it&#039;s really easy to get lost in the details and lose sight of the big picture. In this brown bag, I&#039;ll be laying out that big picture, and providing a step-by-step roadmap of how to get there. The goal is to give rookie talk-givers a better sense of direction as they navigate the shadowy abyss of prepping a talk. I&#039;m also hoping that some of the more experienced talk-givers can chime in with some of their best tips and tricks for building a slammin&#039; talk.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Megan Monroe is a fifth year PhD student in the Computer Science Department who feels super awkward writing about herself in the third person. That being said, she has given a lot of talks, and is loosely presumed to proficient in this area.&lt;br /&gt;

Privacy Management in the Digital Age&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While regularly used for interpersonal communication, relationship maintenance, and information sharing, newer communication technologies such as Facebook and Twitter have also created significant tension between individuals’ desire to maintain privacy and to be engaged participants in online communities. Problems arise due to the increasing diversity of users on these sites, a lack of privacy management knowledge and/or skills, and the often-changing privacy standards of the sites themselves. Rather than proactively engaging this complexity, many users employ reactive privacy management strategies—until something bad happens to me, I won’t worry about the information I’m sharing.&lt;br /&gt;
Understanding how people conceptualize privacy and how that conceptualization influences behavior is increasingly important in today’s networked world, as individuals—and information—are now connected in more ways than ever before. The affordances of social media distinguish them from other communication channels, both on- and offline, with content being easier to search and archive, while people and content are more highly linked within systems. Thus, the consequences of employing more reactive strategies are far-reaching, with potential impacts on personal relationships, financials, work, and beyond. In this talk, I’ll highlight some of my recent findings on this topic as well as overview my expected research trajectory for the next few years in this very active space. &lt;br /&gt;

In this talk, Chris (and others) will lead a talk and discussion about GitHub. Generally, Chris will give an overview of GitHub and facilitate a discussion about why the HCIL might want to adopt GitHub in some way, perhaps by making an &amp;quot;Organization&amp;quot; entity under which projects can be created and students, faculty, and others in the HCIL can check in their code.&lt;br /&gt;

From Digital Footprints to Social Insights&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The pervasiveness of cell phones, mobile applications and social media is generating vast amounts of information that can reveal a wide range of human behavior. From mobility patterns to social connections, these signals expose insights about how humans behave and interact with their environment. While a lot of work has focused on analyzing behaviors, relatively little effort has been dedicated to understanding ways in which such findings could be useful to decision makers in areas like smart cities or public health. In this talk I will discuss two projects: (1) AlertImpact, an agent-based framework that uses geo-referenced cell phone data to model the impact of the preventive actions implemented by the Mexican government during the H1N1 flu outbreak and (2) TweetLand, a method to automatically identify urban land uses and landmarks (point of interest) using tweeting patterns.&lt;br /&gt;

Bridging ICT4D lessons from the NGO sector towards academia ([https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2618031/Alex%20Pompe%20UMD%20Presentation.pptx Slides])&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract: ICT4D professionals in both the academic and NGO areas stand to benefit from greater collaboration, awareness, and transparency of experiences. However, often at conferences both groups are frustrated due to a lack of common understanding and misconceptions. This talk will present a number of case studies from IREX&#039;s ICT work in a variety of regions focused on providing open discussion and discourse so that lessons from all development practitioners can be lent towards improving processes on both sides of the table. The talk will also include discussion of internships and job skills in the ICT4D sector from an NGO employer&#039;s perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; As a Senior Technical Advisor at IREX, Alex Pompe is a lead member of the Center for Collaborative Technology managing the NGO&#039;s ICT4D consulting portfolio. Clients come for a range of countries such as Sri Lanka, Malaysia, India, Nepal, Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, and Bhutan. This work focuses on public access to information barriers and community assessment methodologies. He oversees the Libraries for Development program in Namibia, the Tech Age Teachers program in Tunisia, and the New Education Technology program in Kazakhstan. He splits time between the IREX DC and Namibia offices.&lt;br /&gt;
Alex holds a BS in physics from the University of Illinois, and an MSI from the University of Michigan School of Information. He focused on information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D).&lt;br /&gt;

The goal of this session is to provide several students at various points in their academic programs&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
, but especially new students, with a chance to talk about (1) their interests, (2) the projects to which they&#039;ve contributed, and (3) those they&#039;d like to do. Our hope is that this will allow new students to introduce themselves and convey their interests in a way that helps them find others with shared interests and form working relationships on projects with professors and other students. Students will have 5–8 minutes to introduce themselves and their interests, their previous and current projects, skills and expertise, and their future interests in HCI and the HCIL. Hopefully, this will help new students connect with professors and other students with whom they share interests and can work together on research projects. Following talks will be about 10 minutes for discussion with the presenting students (perhaps for asking them to join a project team).&lt;br /&gt;

Everybody’s internet? :Designing for mobile-centric internet users in the developing world &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Within 5 years, wireless broadband services will cover 85% of the world’s population, &lt;br /&gt;
and data-enabled mobile (cellular) devices will outnumber personal computers and &lt;br /&gt;
tablets. This talk, taken from a book in preparation, details the growing importance &lt;br /&gt;
of ‘mobile-centric internet use’ in the developing world, raising questions and &lt;br /&gt;
challenges for design.&lt;br /&gt;
A breathlessly optimistic narrative has proclaimed the mobile phone the device &lt;br /&gt;
which will finally close the ‘digital divide’, but the digital world does not run &lt;br /&gt;
exclusively on mobile handsets. To guide policy and technical investments in &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development— I argue that it is better to reframe and view the &lt;br /&gt;
mobile handset as one piece of a person’s digital repertoire, which also might include &lt;br /&gt;
PCs, telecentres, TVs, tablets, and other devices. &lt;br /&gt;
In the talk and in the book I revisit some of my previous studies in three domains of &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development: microenterprises and livelihoods, citizen journalism, &lt;br /&gt;
and secondary education. Across each, I celebrate the transformational potential of &lt;br /&gt;
the mobile phone. Yet, in each case, I use the “digital repertoires” lens to raise &lt;br /&gt;
concerns, identifying how the capacity to generate, produce, and curate information &lt;br /&gt;
may remain concentrated among those with better resources to secure digital tools,&lt;br /&gt;
and the skills and incentives to use them. The person with $30 basic data-enabled &lt;br /&gt;
phone and the person with a smartphone and a state-of-the-art $1000 desktop &lt;br /&gt;
computer both can connect to the internet; however, it is not the same internet.&lt;br /&gt;
Yet these persistent digital stratifications can be reduced if technologists, &lt;br /&gt;
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers work to ensure that constrained digital &lt;br /&gt;
repertoires enable not only coordination and consumption (which phones already do &lt;br /&gt;
well), but also contribution (which they do less well). From natural user interfaces to &lt;br /&gt;
language support to bandwidth pricing, there are concrete ways in which more &lt;br /&gt;
empathetic design and policy can help a greater proportion of the world’s &lt;br /&gt;
inhabitants be more productive with their ICTs. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research India seeks to address the needs and aspirations of people in the world&#039;s developing communities. Our research targets people who are just beginning to use computing technologies and services as well as those for whom access to computing still remains largely out of reach. Most of our work falls under the rubric of the relatively young field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD or ICT4D). By combining a variety of backgrounds and training, we are able to engage deeply with some of the complex problems associated with poverty and scarce resources. Our goal is to study, design, build, and evaluate technologies and systems that are useful for people living in underserved rural and urban communities around the world. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the recent work in the group, focusing on projects that explore modalities and interactions specifically designed for the unique contexts and users we’re working with:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1) VideoKheti: A prototype multimodal system to help low-literate farmers search for agricultural extension videos on smart phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2) IVR Junction: A platform for building scalable and distributed voice forums for users with low-end phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3) Massively Empowered Classrooms (MEC): A project to explore how innovations in MOOCs and blended learning can be applied to second-tier, large-scale engineering education in India.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4) Maybe something else, depending on the interests of the audience&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As we become more dependent on high speed Internet, we increasingly have to deal with making sure our devices are connected properly, that we&#039;re getting the speeds we need, and that we&#039;re making efficient use of our data. Yet often, Internet connections break or do not work as planned, causing us endless headaches. We also have to juggle constraints such as slow speeds, limited bandwidth, and high data costs depending on our location and use. My research focuses on helping users manage Internet connectivity in their homes, the workplace, and on the go, particularly under constraints of low resources and high costs. In this talk, I&#039;ll go over how I use HCI and networking to reach the goal of taming the Internet for everyday users and talk about future directions.&lt;br /&gt;

Ubiquitous Analytics: Interacting with Big Data Anywhere, Anytime&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; ABSTRACT:&lt;br /&gt;
Computing is becoming increasingly embedded in our everyday lives:&lt;br /&gt;
mobile devices are growing smaller yet more powerful, large displays&lt;br /&gt;
are getting cheaper, and our physical environments are turning&lt;br /&gt;
intelligent and are integrating an increasing number of digital&lt;br /&gt;
processors. Meanwhile, data is everywhere, and people need to&lt;br /&gt;
leverage all of this digital infrastructure to turn it into&lt;br /&gt;
actionable information about their hobbies, health, and personal&lt;br /&gt;
interest. In this talk, I will present the concept of ubiquitous&lt;br /&gt;
analytics that is staking out a new digital future of ever-present,&lt;br /&gt;
always-on computing; one that can support manipulating, thinking&lt;br /&gt;
about, and interacting with data anytime, anywhere.&lt;br /&gt;

Tracking the Body in Healthcare&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; New gesture and movement tracking technologies are offering rich possibilities for our everyday computing experiences. More than simply intuitive and non-intrusive forms of interaction these technologies can provide ways to transform behavioral practices in particular contexts. Within these contexts, there are important challenges in how we take the opportunities provided by body/movement sensing systems and design them in ways that are attuned to the demands and circumstances of a particular setting. In this talk I will explore these issues in the context of the particular setting of healthcare. I will present prior work on a Kinect-based system that uses gesture and voice recognition capabilities to enable clinicians to interact with images during surgery without compromising sterility as well as new work on sensing a Parkinson&#039;s patient&#039;s movement ability for clinical decision-making and patient empowerment.&lt;br /&gt;

Accessible Social Technology &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For better and worse, technology has changed how we connect with one another, potentially excluding those who have not kept up with changing social norms. To provide one common example: grandparents who have not adopted Facebook often find themselves excluded from family photo sharing practices. In this talk, Karyn will informally discuss recent projects targeted at drawing marginalized individuals into online social forums, with a focus on bridging diverse preferences and accommodating competing needs.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Karyn Moffatt is an assistant professor in the School of Information Studies at McGill University. Currently, her work focuses on designing tools that are sensitive to the social context in which they will be used and that seek to leverage and support those relationships. Prior to joining McGill University, Karyn was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Toronto supported by awards from NSERC and CIHR’s Health Care, Technology, and Place strategic initiative. She received her doctorate in computer science from the University of British Columbia in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;

The Talk Talk&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;So you have to give a talk, now what? Well, it&#039;s probably too late to run, and nobody likes a hider, so your best bet is to just suck it up, and start prepping your talk. But how? What should you do first? What are you even trying to accomplish here? Prepping a talk is not only a daunting prospect, but it&#039;s really easy to get lost in the details and lose sight of the big picture. In this brown bag, I&#039;ll be laying out that big picture, and providing a step-by-step roadmap of how to get there. The goal is to give rookie talk-givers a better sense of direction as they navigate the shadowy abyss of prepping a talk. I&#039;m also hoping that some of the more experienced talk-givers can chime in with some of their best tips and tricks for building a slammin&#039; talk.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Megan Monroe is a fifth year PhD student in the Computer Science Department who feels super awkward writing about herself in the third person. That being said, she has given a lot of talks, and is loosely presumed to proficient in this area.&lt;br /&gt;

Privacy Management in the Digital Age&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While regularly used for interpersonal communication, relationship maintenance, and information sharing, newer communication technologies such as Facebook and Twitter have also created significant tension between individuals’ desire to maintain privacy and to be engaged participants in online communities. Problems arise due to the increasing diversity of users on these sites, a lack of privacy management knowledge and/or skills, and the often-changing privacy standards of the sites themselves. Rather than proactively engaging this complexity, many users employ reactive privacy management strategies—until something bad happens to me, I won’t worry about the information I’m sharing.&lt;br /&gt;
Understanding how people conceptualize privacy and how that conceptualization influences behavior is increasingly important in today’s networked world, as individuals—and information—are now connected in more ways than ever before. The affordances of social media distinguish them from other communication channels, both on- and offline, with content being easier to search and archive, while people and content are more highly linked within systems. Thus, the consequences of employing more reactive strategies are far-reaching, with potential impacts on personal relationships, financials, work, and beyond. In this talk, I’ll highlight some of my recent findings on this topic as well as overview my expected research trajectory for the next few years in this very active space. &lt;br /&gt;

In this talk, Chris (and others) will lead a talk and discussion about GitHub. Generally, Chris will give an overview of GitHub and facilitate a discussion about why the HCIL might want to adopt GitHub in some way, perhaps by making an &amp;quot;Organization&amp;quot; entity under which projects can be created and students, faculty, and others in the HCIL can check in their code.&lt;br /&gt;

From Digital Footprints to Social Insights&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The pervasiveness of cell phones, mobile applications and social media is generating vast amounts of information that can reveal a wide range of human behavior. From mobility patterns to social connections, these signals expose insights about how humans behave and interact with their environment. While a lot of work has focused on analyzing behaviors, relatively little effort has been dedicated to understanding ways in which such findings could be useful to decision makers in areas like smart cities or public health. In this talk I will discuss two projects: (1) AlertImpact, an agent-based framework that uses geo-referenced cell phone data to model the impact of the preventive actions implemented by the Mexican government during the H1N1 flu outbreak and (2) TweetLand, a method to automatically identify urban land uses and landmarks (point of interest) using tweeting patterns.&lt;br /&gt;

Bridging ICT4D lessons from the NGO sector towards academia ([https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2618031/Alex%20Pompe%20UMD%20Presentation.pptx Slides])&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract: ICT4D professionals in both the academic and NGO areas stand to benefit from greater collaboration, awareness, and transparency of experiences. However, often at conferences both groups are frustrated due to a lack of common understanding and misconceptions. This talk will present a number of case studies from IREX&#039;s ICT work in a variety of regions focused on providing open discussion and discourse so that lessons from all development practitioners can be lent towards improving processes on both sides of the table. The talk will also include discussion of internships and job skills in the ICT4D sector from an NGO employer&#039;s perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; As a Senior Technical Advisor at IREX, Alex Pompe is a lead member of the Center for Collaborative Technology managing the NGO&#039;s ICT4D consulting portfolio. Clients come for a range of countries such as Sri Lanka, Malaysia, India, Nepal, Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, and Bhutan. This work focuses on public access to information barriers and community assessment methodologies. He oversees the Libraries for Development program in Namibia, the Tech Age Teachers program in Tunisia, and the New Education Technology program in Kazakhstan. He splits time between the IREX DC and Namibia offices.&lt;br /&gt;
Alex holds a BS in physics from the University of Illinois, and an MSI from the University of Michigan School of Information. He focused on information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D).&lt;br /&gt;

The goal of this session is to provide several students at various points in their academic programs&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
, but especially new students, with a chance to talk about (1) their interests, (2) the projects to which they&#039;ve contributed, and (3) those they&#039;d like to do. Our hope is that this will allow new students to introduce themselves and convey their interests in a way that helps them find others with shared interests and form working relationships on projects with professors and other students. Students will have 5–8 minutes to introduce themselves and their interests, their previous and current projects, skills and expertise, and their future interests in HCI and the HCIL. Hopefully, this will help new students connect with professors and other students with whom they share interests and can work together on research projects. Following talks will be about 10 minutes for discussion with the presenting students (perhaps for asking them to join a project team).&lt;br /&gt;

Everybody’s internet? :Designing for mobile-centric internet users in the developing world &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Within 5 years, wireless broadband services will cover 85% of the world’s population, &lt;br /&gt;
and data-enabled mobile (cellular) devices will outnumber personal computers and &lt;br /&gt;
tablets. This talk, taken from a book in preparation, details the growing importance &lt;br /&gt;
of ‘mobile-centric internet use’ in the developing world, raising questions and &lt;br /&gt;
challenges for design.&lt;br /&gt;
A breathlessly optimistic narrative has proclaimed the mobile phone the device &lt;br /&gt;
which will finally close the ‘digital divide’, but the digital world does not run &lt;br /&gt;
exclusively on mobile handsets. To guide policy and technical investments in &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development— I argue that it is better to reframe and view the &lt;br /&gt;
mobile handset as one piece of a person’s digital repertoire, which also might include &lt;br /&gt;
PCs, telecentres, TVs, tablets, and other devices. &lt;br /&gt;
In the talk and in the book I revisit some of my previous studies in three domains of &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development: microenterprises and livelihoods, citizen journalism, &lt;br /&gt;
and secondary education. Across each, I celebrate the transformational potential of &lt;br /&gt;
the mobile phone. Yet, in each case, I use the “digital repertoires” lens to raise &lt;br /&gt;
concerns, identifying how the capacity to generate, produce, and curate information &lt;br /&gt;
may remain concentrated among those with better resources to secure digital tools,&lt;br /&gt;
and the skills and incentives to use them. The person with $30 basic data-enabled &lt;br /&gt;
phone and the person with a smartphone and a state-of-the-art $1000 desktop &lt;br /&gt;
computer both can connect to the internet; however, it is not the same internet.&lt;br /&gt;
Yet these persistent digital stratifications can be reduced if technologists, &lt;br /&gt;
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers work to ensure that constrained digital &lt;br /&gt;
repertoires enable not only coordination and consumption (which phones already do &lt;br /&gt;
well), but also contribution (which they do less well). From natural user interfaces to &lt;br /&gt;
language support to bandwidth pricing, there are concrete ways in which more &lt;br /&gt;
empathetic design and policy can help a greater proportion of the world’s &lt;br /&gt;
inhabitants be more productive with their ICTs. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research India seeks to address the needs and aspirations of people in the world&#039;s developing communities. Our research targets people who are just beginning to use computing technologies and services as well as those for whom access to computing still remains largely out of reach. Most of our work falls under the rubric of the relatively young field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD or ICT4D). By combining a variety of backgrounds and training, we are able to engage deeply with some of the complex problems associated with poverty and scarce resources. Our goal is to study, design, build, and evaluate technologies and systems that are useful for people living in underserved rural and urban communities around the world. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the recent work in the group, focusing on projects that explore modalities and interactions specifically designed for the unique contexts and users we’re working with:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1) VideoKheti: A prototype multimodal system to help low-literate farmers search for agricultural extension videos on smart phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2) IVR Junction: A platform for building scalable and distributed voice forums for users with low-end phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3) Massively Empowered Classrooms (MEC): A project to explore how innovations in MOOCs and blended learning can be applied to second-tier, large-scale engineering education in India.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4) Maybe something else, depending on the interests of the audience&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As we become more dependent on high speed Internet, we increasingly have to deal with making sure our devices are connected properly, that we&#039;re getting the speeds we need, and that we&#039;re making efficient use of our data. Yet often, Internet connections break or do not work as planned, causing us endless headaches. We also have to juggle constraints such as slow speeds, limited bandwidth, and high data costs depending on our location and use. My research focuses on helping users manage Internet connectivity in their homes, the workplace, and on the go, particularly under constraints of low resources and high costs. In this talk, I&#039;ll go over how I use HCI and networking to reach the goal of taming the Internet for everyday users and talk about future directions.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;The HCIL has an open semi-organized weekly &amp;quot;brown bag lunch (BBL)&amp;quot; on every &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;Thursdays from 12:30-1:30pm in HCIL (2105 Hornbake, South Wing)&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.  The topics range from someone&#039;s work, current interest to the HCIL, a software demo/review, a study design, a proposed research topic, an introduction to a new person, etc.   The BBL is the one hour a week where we all come together--thus, it’s a unique time for HCIL members with unique opportunities to help build collaborations, increase awareness of each other’s activities, and generally just have a bit of fun together with &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;free food every week&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To sign up for a session, send an email to  [[Brown Bag Lunch Coordinators|BBL student co-coordinator]] &#039;&#039;&#039;Michael Gubbels (mgubbels@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Tak Yeon Lee (tylee@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039;.

Ubiquitous Analytics: Interacting with Big Data Anywhere, Anytime&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; ABSTRACT:&lt;br /&gt;
Computing is becoming increasingly embedded in our everyday lives:&lt;br /&gt;
mobile devices are growing smaller yet more powerful, large displays&lt;br /&gt;
are getting cheaper, and our physical environments are turning&lt;br /&gt;
intelligent and are integrating an increasing number of digital&lt;br /&gt;
processors. Meanwhile, data is everywhere, and people need to&lt;br /&gt;
leverage all of this digital infrastructure to turn it into&lt;br /&gt;
actionable information about their hobbies, health, and personal&lt;br /&gt;
interest. In this talk, I will present the concept of ubiquitous&lt;br /&gt;
analytics that is staking out a new digital future of ever-present,&lt;br /&gt;
always-on computing; one that can support manipulating, thinking&lt;br /&gt;
about, and interacting with data anytime, anywhere.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Tracking the Body in Healthcare&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; New gesture and movement tracking technologies are offering rich possibilities for our everyday computing experiences. More than simply intuitive and non-intrusive forms of interaction these technologies can provide ways to transform behavioral practices in particular contexts. Within these contexts, there are important challenges in how we take the opportunities provided by body/movement sensing systems and design them in ways that are attuned to the demands and circumstances of a particular setting. In this talk I will explore these issues in the context of the particular setting of healthcare. I will present prior work on a Kinect-based system that uses gesture and voice recognition capabilities to enable clinicians to interact with images during surgery without compromising sterility as well as new work on sensing a Parkinson&#039;s patient&#039;s movement ability for clinical decision-making and patient empowerment.&lt;br /&gt;

Accessible Social Technology &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For better and worse, technology has changed how we connect with one another, potentially excluding those who have not kept up with changing social norms. To provide one common example: grandparents who have not adopted Facebook often find themselves excluded from family photo sharing practices. In this talk, Karyn will informally discuss recent projects targeted at drawing marginalized individuals into online social forums, with a focus on bridging diverse preferences and accommodating competing needs.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Karyn Moffatt is an assistant professor in the School of Information Studies at McGill University. Currently, her work focuses on designing tools that are sensitive to the social context in which they will be used and that seek to leverage and support those relationships. Prior to joining McGill University, Karyn was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Toronto supported by awards from NSERC and CIHR’s Health Care, Technology, and Place strategic initiative. She received her doctorate in computer science from the University of British Columbia in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;

The Talk Talk&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;So you have to give a talk, now what? Well, it&#039;s probably too late to run, and nobody likes a hider, so your best bet is to just suck it up, and start prepping your talk. But how? What should you do first? What are you even trying to accomplish here? Prepping a talk is not only a daunting prospect, but it&#039;s really easy to get lost in the details and lose sight of the big picture. In this brown bag, I&#039;ll be laying out that big picture, and providing a step-by-step roadmap of how to get there. The goal is to give rookie talk-givers a better sense of direction as they navigate the shadowy abyss of prepping a talk. I&#039;m also hoping that some of the more experienced talk-givers can chime in with some of their best tips and tricks for building a slammin&#039; talk.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Megan Monroe is a fifth year PhD student in the Computer Science Department who feels super awkward writing about herself in the third person. That being said, she has given a lot of talks, and is loosely presumed to proficient in this area.&lt;br /&gt;

Privacy Management in the Digital Age&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While regularly used for interpersonal communication, relationship maintenance, and information sharing, newer communication technologies such as Facebook and Twitter have also created significant tension between individuals’ desire to maintain privacy and to be engaged participants in online communities. Problems arise due to the increasing diversity of users on these sites, a lack of privacy management knowledge and/or skills, and the often-changing privacy standards of the sites themselves. Rather than proactively engaging this complexity, many users employ reactive privacy management strategies—until something bad happens to me, I won’t worry about the information I’m sharing.&lt;br /&gt;
Understanding how people conceptualize privacy and how that conceptualization influences behavior is increasingly important in today’s networked world, as individuals—and information—are now connected in more ways than ever before. The affordances of social media distinguish them from other communication channels, both on- and offline, with content being easier to search and archive, while people and content are more highly linked within systems. Thus, the consequences of employing more reactive strategies are far-reaching, with potential impacts on personal relationships, financials, work, and beyond. In this talk, I’ll highlight some of my recent findings on this topic as well as overview my expected research trajectory for the next few years in this very active space. &lt;br /&gt;

Talk and discussion about GitHub and why the HCIL may want to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In this talk, Chris (and others) will lead a talk and discussion about GitHub. Generally, Chris will give an overview of GitHub and facilitate a discussion about why the HCIL might want to adopt GitHub in some way, perhaps by making an &amp;quot;Organization&amp;quot; entity under which projects can be created and students, faculty, and others in the HCIL can check in their code.&lt;br /&gt;

From Digital Footprints to Social Insights&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The pervasiveness of cell phones, mobile applications and social media is generating vast amounts of information that can reveal a wide range of human behavior. From mobility patterns to social connections, these signals expose insights about how humans behave and interact with their environment. While a lot of work has focused on analyzing behaviors, relatively little effort has been dedicated to understanding ways in which such findings could be useful to decision makers in areas like smart cities or public health. In this talk I will discuss two projects: (1) AlertImpact, an agent-based framework that uses geo-referenced cell phone data to model the impact of the preventive actions implemented by the Mexican government during the H1N1 flu outbreak and (2) TweetLand, a method to automatically identify urban land uses and landmarks (point of interest) using tweeting patterns.&lt;br /&gt;

Bridging ICT4D lessons from the NGO sector towards academia ([https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2618031/Alex%20Pompe%20UMD%20Presentation.pptx Slides])&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract: ICT4D professionals in both the academic and NGO areas stand to benefit from greater collaboration, awareness, and transparency of experiences. However, often at conferences both groups are frustrated due to a lack of common understanding and misconceptions. This talk will present a number of case studies from IREX&#039;s ICT work in a variety of regions focused on providing open discussion and discourse so that lessons from all development practitioners can be lent towards improving processes on both sides of the table. The talk will also include discussion of internships and job skills in the ICT4D sector from an NGO employer&#039;s perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; As a Senior Technical Advisor at IREX, Alex Pompe is a lead member of the Center for Collaborative Technology managing the NGO&#039;s ICT4D consulting portfolio. Clients come for a range of countries such as Sri Lanka, Malaysia, India, Nepal, Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, and Bhutan. This work focuses on public access to information barriers and community assessment methodologies. He oversees the Libraries for Development program in Namibia, the Tech Age Teachers program in Tunisia, and the New Education Technology program in Kazakhstan. He splits time between the IREX DC and Namibia offices.&lt;br /&gt;
Alex holds a BS in physics from the University of Illinois, and an MSI from the University of Michigan School of Information. He focused on information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D).&lt;br /&gt;

The goal of this session is to provide several students at various points in their academic programs&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
, but especially new students, with a chance to talk about (1) their interests, (2) the projects to which they&#039;ve contributed, and (3) those they&#039;d like to do. Our hope is that this will allow new students to introduce themselves and convey their interests in a way that helps them find others with shared interests and form working relationships on projects with professors and other students. Students will have 5–8 minutes to introduce themselves and their interests, their previous and current projects, skills and expertise, and their future interests in HCI and the HCIL. Hopefully, this will help new students connect with professors and other students with whom they share interests and can work together on research projects. Following talks will be about 10 minutes for discussion with the presenting students (perhaps for asking them to join a project team).&lt;br /&gt;

Everybody’s internet? :Designing for mobile-centric internet users in the developing world &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Within 5 years, wireless broadband services will cover 85% of the world’s population, &lt;br /&gt;
and data-enabled mobile (cellular) devices will outnumber personal computers and &lt;br /&gt;
tablets. This talk, taken from a book in preparation, details the growing importance &lt;br /&gt;
of ‘mobile-centric internet use’ in the developing world, raising questions and &lt;br /&gt;
challenges for design.&lt;br /&gt;
A breathlessly optimistic narrative has proclaimed the mobile phone the device &lt;br /&gt;
which will finally close the ‘digital divide’, but the digital world does not run &lt;br /&gt;
exclusively on mobile handsets. To guide policy and technical investments in &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development— I argue that it is better to reframe and view the &lt;br /&gt;
mobile handset as one piece of a person’s digital repertoire, which also might include &lt;br /&gt;
PCs, telecentres, TVs, tablets, and other devices. &lt;br /&gt;
In the talk and in the book I revisit some of my previous studies in three domains of &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development: microenterprises and livelihoods, citizen journalism, &lt;br /&gt;
and secondary education. Across each, I celebrate the transformational potential of &lt;br /&gt;
the mobile phone. Yet, in each case, I use the “digital repertoires” lens to raise &lt;br /&gt;
concerns, identifying how the capacity to generate, produce, and curate information &lt;br /&gt;
may remain concentrated among those with better resources to secure digital tools,&lt;br /&gt;
and the skills and incentives to use them. The person with $30 basic data-enabled &lt;br /&gt;
phone and the person with a smartphone and a state-of-the-art $1000 desktop &lt;br /&gt;
computer both can connect to the internet; however, it is not the same internet.&lt;br /&gt;
Yet these persistent digital stratifications can be reduced if technologists, &lt;br /&gt;
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers work to ensure that constrained digital &lt;br /&gt;
repertoires enable not only coordination and consumption (which phones already do &lt;br /&gt;
well), but also contribution (which they do less well). From natural user interfaces to &lt;br /&gt;
language support to bandwidth pricing, there are concrete ways in which more &lt;br /&gt;
empathetic design and policy can help a greater proportion of the world’s &lt;br /&gt;
inhabitants be more productive with their ICTs. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research India seeks to address the needs and aspirations of people in the world&#039;s developing communities. Our research targets people who are just beginning to use computing technologies and services as well as those for whom access to computing still remains largely out of reach. Most of our work falls under the rubric of the relatively young field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD or ICT4D). By combining a variety of backgrounds and training, we are able to engage deeply with some of the complex problems associated with poverty and scarce resources. Our goal is to study, design, build, and evaluate technologies and systems that are useful for people living in underserved rural and urban communities around the world. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the recent work in the group, focusing on projects that explore modalities and interactions specifically designed for the unique contexts and users we’re working with:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1) VideoKheti: A prototype multimodal system to help low-literate farmers search for agricultural extension videos on smart phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2) IVR Junction: A platform for building scalable and distributed voice forums for users with low-end phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3) Massively Empowered Classrooms (MEC): A project to explore how innovations in MOOCs and blended learning can be applied to second-tier, large-scale engineering education in India.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4) Maybe something else, depending on the interests of the audience&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;width:800px&amp;quot;&amp;gt; HCI and Networking - Taming the Internet One Bit at a Time&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As we become more dependent on high speed Internet, we increasingly have to deal with making sure our devices are connected properly, that we&#039;re getting the speeds we need, and that we&#039;re making efficient use of our data. Yet often, Internet connections break or do not work as planned, causing us endless headaches. We also have to juggle constraints such as slow speeds, limited bandwidth, and high data costs depending on our location and use. My research focuses on helping users manage Internet connectivity in their homes, the workplace, and on the go, particularly under constraints of low resources and high costs. In this talk, I&#039;ll go over how I use HCI and networking to reach the goal of taming the Internet for everyday users and talk about future directions.&lt;br /&gt;

Tracking the Body in Healthcare&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; New gesture and movement tracking technologies are offering rich possibilities for our everyday computing experiences. More than simply intuitive and non-intrusive forms of interaction these technologies can provide ways to transform behavioral practices in particular contexts. Within these contexts, there are important challenges in how we take the opportunities provided by body/movement sensing systems and design them in ways that are attuned to the demands and circumstances of a particular setting. In this talk I will explore these issues in the context of the particular setting of healthcare. I will present prior work on a Kinect-based system that uses gesture and voice recognition capabilities to enable clinicians to interact with images during surgery without compromising sterility as well as new work on sensing a Parkinson&#039;s patient&#039;s movement ability for clinical decision-making and patient empowerment.&lt;br /&gt;

Accessible Social Technology &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For better and worse, technology has changed how we connect with one another, potentially excluding those who have not kept up with changing social norms. To provide one common example: grandparents who have not adopted Facebook often find themselves excluded from family photo sharing practices. In this talk, Karyn will informally discuss recent projects targeted at drawing marginalized individuals into online social forums, with a focus on bridging diverse preferences and accommodating competing needs.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Karyn Moffatt is an assistant professor in the School of Information Studies at McGill University. Currently, her work focuses on designing tools that are sensitive to the social context in which they will be used and that seek to leverage and support those relationships. Prior to joining McGill University, Karyn was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Toronto supported by awards from NSERC and CIHR’s Health Care, Technology, and Place strategic initiative. She received her doctorate in computer science from the University of British Columbia in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;

The Talk Talk&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;So you have to give a talk, now what? Well, it&#039;s probably too late to run, and nobody likes a hider, so your best bet is to just suck it up, and start prepping your talk. But how? What should you do first? What are you even trying to accomplish here? Prepping a talk is not only a daunting prospect, but it&#039;s really easy to get lost in the details and lose sight of the big picture. In this brown bag, I&#039;ll be laying out that big picture, and providing a step-by-step roadmap of how to get there. The goal is to give rookie talk-givers a better sense of direction as they navigate the shadowy abyss of prepping a talk. I&#039;m also hoping that some of the more experienced talk-givers can chime in with some of their best tips and tricks for building a slammin&#039; talk.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Megan Monroe is a fifth year PhD student in the Computer Science Department who feels super awkward writing about herself in the third person. That being said, she has given a lot of talks, and is loosely presumed to proficient in this area.&lt;br /&gt;

Privacy Management in the Digital Age&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While regularly used for interpersonal communication, relationship maintenance, and information sharing, newer communication technologies such as Facebook and Twitter have also created significant tension between individuals’ desire to maintain privacy and to be engaged participants in online communities. Problems arise due to the increasing diversity of users on these sites, a lack of privacy management knowledge and/or skills, and the often-changing privacy standards of the sites themselves. Rather than proactively engaging this complexity, many users employ reactive privacy management strategies—until something bad happens to me, I won’t worry about the information I’m sharing.&lt;br /&gt;
Understanding how people conceptualize privacy and how that conceptualization influences behavior is increasingly important in today’s networked world, as individuals—and information—are now connected in more ways than ever before. The affordances of social media distinguish them from other communication channels, both on- and offline, with content being easier to search and archive, while people and content are more highly linked within systems. Thus, the consequences of employing more reactive strategies are far-reaching, with potential impacts on personal relationships, financials, work, and beyond. In this talk, I’ll highlight some of my recent findings on this topic as well as overview my expected research trajectory for the next few years in this very active space. &lt;br /&gt;

Talk and discussion about GitHub and why the HCIL may want to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In this talk, Chris (and others) will lead a talk and discussion about GitHub. Generally, Chris will give an overview of GitHub and facilitate a discussion about why the HCIL might want to adopt GitHub in some way, perhaps by making an &amp;quot;Organization&amp;quot; entity under which projects can be created and students, faculty, and others in the HCIL can check in their code.&lt;br /&gt;

From Digital Footprints to Social Insights&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The pervasiveness of cell phones, mobile applications and social media is generating vast amounts of information that can reveal a wide range of human behavior. From mobility patterns to social connections, these signals expose insights about how humans behave and interact with their environment. While a lot of work has focused on analyzing behaviors, relatively little effort has been dedicated to understanding ways in which such findings could be useful to decision makers in areas like smart cities or public health. In this talk I will discuss two projects: (1) AlertImpact, an agent-based framework that uses geo-referenced cell phone data to model the impact of the preventive actions implemented by the Mexican government during the H1N1 flu outbreak and (2) TweetLand, a method to automatically identify urban land uses and landmarks (point of interest) using tweeting patterns.&lt;br /&gt;

Bridging ICT4D lessons from the NGO sector towards academia ([https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2618031/Alex%20Pompe%20UMD%20Presentation.pptx Slides])&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract: ICT4D professionals in both the academic and NGO areas stand to benefit from greater collaboration, awareness, and transparency of experiences. However, often at conferences both groups are frustrated due to a lack of common understanding and misconceptions. This talk will present a number of case studies from IREX&#039;s ICT work in a variety of regions focused on providing open discussion and discourse so that lessons from all development practitioners can be lent towards improving processes on both sides of the table. The talk will also include discussion of internships and job skills in the ICT4D sector from an NGO employer&#039;s perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; As a Senior Technical Advisor at IREX, Alex Pompe is a lead member of the Center for Collaborative Technology managing the NGO&#039;s ICT4D consulting portfolio. Clients come for a range of countries such as Sri Lanka, Malaysia, India, Nepal, Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, and Bhutan. This work focuses on public access to information barriers and community assessment methodologies. He oversees the Libraries for Development program in Namibia, the Tech Age Teachers program in Tunisia, and the New Education Technology program in Kazakhstan. He splits time between the IREX DC and Namibia offices.&lt;br /&gt;
Alex holds a BS in physics from the University of Illinois, and an MSI from the University of Michigan School of Information. He focused on information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D).&lt;br /&gt;

The goal of this session is to provide several students at various points in their academic programs&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
, but especially new students, with a chance to talk about (1) their interests, (2) the projects to which they&#039;ve contributed, and (3) those they&#039;d like to do. Our hope is that this will allow new students to introduce themselves and convey their interests in a way that helps them find others with shared interests and form working relationships on projects with professors and other students. Students will have 5–8 minutes to introduce themselves and their interests, their previous and current projects, skills and expertise, and their future interests in HCI and the HCIL. Hopefully, this will help new students connect with professors and other students with whom they share interests and can work together on research projects. Following talks will be about 10 minutes for discussion with the presenting students (perhaps for asking them to join a project team).&lt;br /&gt;

Everybody’s internet? :Designing for mobile-centric internet users in the developing world &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Within 5 years, wireless broadband services will cover 85% of the world’s population, &lt;br /&gt;
and data-enabled mobile (cellular) devices will outnumber personal computers and &lt;br /&gt;
tablets. This talk, taken from a book in preparation, details the growing importance &lt;br /&gt;
of ‘mobile-centric internet use’ in the developing world, raising questions and &lt;br /&gt;
challenges for design.&lt;br /&gt;
A breathlessly optimistic narrative has proclaimed the mobile phone the device &lt;br /&gt;
which will finally close the ‘digital divide’, but the digital world does not run &lt;br /&gt;
exclusively on mobile handsets. To guide policy and technical investments in &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development— I argue that it is better to reframe and view the &lt;br /&gt;
mobile handset as one piece of a person’s digital repertoire, which also might include &lt;br /&gt;
PCs, telecentres, TVs, tablets, and other devices. &lt;br /&gt;
In the talk and in the book I revisit some of my previous studies in three domains of &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development: microenterprises and livelihoods, citizen journalism, &lt;br /&gt;
and secondary education. Across each, I celebrate the transformational potential of &lt;br /&gt;
the mobile phone. Yet, in each case, I use the “digital repertoires” lens to raise &lt;br /&gt;
concerns, identifying how the capacity to generate, produce, and curate information &lt;br /&gt;
may remain concentrated among those with better resources to secure digital tools,&lt;br /&gt;
and the skills and incentives to use them. The person with $30 basic data-enabled &lt;br /&gt;
phone and the person with a smartphone and a state-of-the-art $1000 desktop &lt;br /&gt;
computer both can connect to the internet; however, it is not the same internet.&lt;br /&gt;
Yet these persistent digital stratifications can be reduced if technologists, &lt;br /&gt;
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers work to ensure that constrained digital &lt;br /&gt;
repertoires enable not only coordination and consumption (which phones already do &lt;br /&gt;
well), but also contribution (which they do less well). From natural user interfaces to &lt;br /&gt;
language support to bandwidth pricing, there are concrete ways in which more &lt;br /&gt;
empathetic design and policy can help a greater proportion of the world’s &lt;br /&gt;
inhabitants be more productive with their ICTs. &lt;br /&gt;

The Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research India seeks to address the needs and aspirations of people in the world&#039;s developing communities. Our research targets people who are just beginning to use computing technologies and services as well as those for whom access to computing still remains largely out of reach. Most of our work falls under the rubric of the relatively young field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD or ICT4D). By combining a variety of backgrounds and training, we are able to engage deeply with some of the complex problems associated with poverty and scarce resources. Our goal is to study, design, build, and evaluate technologies and systems that are useful for people living in underserved rural and urban communities around the world. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the recent work in the group, focusing on projects that explore modalities and interactions specifically designed for the unique contexts and users we’re working with:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1) VideoKheti: A prototype multimodal system to help low-literate farmers search for agricultural extension videos on smart phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2) IVR Junction: A platform for building scalable and distributed voice forums for users with low-end phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3) Massively Empowered Classrooms (MEC): A project to explore how innovations in MOOCs and blended learning can be applied to second-tier, large-scale engineering education in India.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4) Maybe something else, depending on the interests of the audience&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;width:800px&amp;quot;&amp;gt; HCI and Networking - Taming the Internet One Bit at a Time&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As we become more dependent on high speed Internet, we increasingly have to deal with making sure our devices are connected properly, that we&#039;re getting the speeds we need, and that we&#039;re making efficient use of our data. Yet often, Internet connections break or do not work as planned, causing us endless headaches. We also have to juggle constraints such as slow speeds, limited bandwidth, and high data costs depending on our location and use. My research focuses on helping users manage Internet connectivity in their homes, the workplace, and on the go, particularly under constraints of low resources and high costs. In this talk, I&#039;ll go over how I use HCI and networking to reach the goal of taming the Internet for everyday users and talk about future directions.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;The HCIL has an open semi-organized weekly &amp;quot;brown bag lunch (BBL)&amp;quot; on every &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;Thursdays from 12:30-1:30pm in HCIL (2105 Hornbake, South Wing)&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.  The topics range from someone&#039;s work, current interest to the HCIL, a software demo/review, a study design, a proposed research topic, an introduction to a new person, etc.   The BBL is the one hour a week where we all come together--thus, it’s a unique time for HCIL members with unique opportunities to help build collaborations, increase awareness of each other’s activities, and generally just have a bit of fun together with &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;free food every week&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To sign up for a session, send an email to  [[Brown Bag Lunch Coordinators|BBL student co-coordinator]] &#039;&#039;&#039;Michael Gubbels (mgubbels@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Tak Yeon Lee (tylee@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039;.

Tracking the Body in Healthcare&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; New gesture and movement tracking technologies are offering rich possibilities for our everyday computing experiences. More than simply intuitive and non-intrusive forms of interaction these technologies can provide ways to transform behavioral practices in particular contexts. Within these contexts, there are important challenges in how we take the opportunities provided by body/movement sensing systems and design them in ways that are attuned to the demands and circumstances of a particular setting. In this talk I will explore these issues in the context of the particular setting of healthcare. I will present prior work on a Kinect-based system that uses gesture and voice recognition capabilities to enable clinicians to interact with images during surgery without compromising sterility as well as new work on sensing a Parkinson&#039;s patient&#039;s movement ability for clinical decision-making and patient empowerment.&lt;br /&gt;

Accessible Social Technology &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For better and worse, technology has changed how we connect with one another, potentially excluding those who have not kept up with changing social norms. To provide one common example: grandparents who have not adopted Facebook often find themselves excluded from family photo sharing practices. In this talk, Karyn will informally discuss recent projects targeted at drawing marginalized individuals into online social forums, with a focus on bridging diverse preferences and accommodating competing needs.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Karyn Moffatt is an assistant professor in the School of Information Studies at McGill University. Currently, her work focuses on designing tools that are sensitive to the social context in which they will be used and that seek to leverage and support those relationships. Prior to joining McGill University, Karyn was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Toronto supported by awards from NSERC and CIHR’s Health Care, Technology, and Place strategic initiative. She received her doctorate in computer science from the University of British Columbia in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;

The Talk Talk&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;So you have to give a talk, now what? Well, it&#039;s probably too late to run, and nobody likes a hider, so your best bet is to just suck it up, and start prepping your talk. But how? What should you do first? What are you even trying to accomplish here? Prepping a talk is not only a daunting prospect, but it&#039;s really easy to get lost in the details and lose sight of the big picture. In this brown bag, I&#039;ll be laying out that big picture, and providing a step-by-step roadmap of how to get there. The goal is to give rookie talk-givers a better sense of direction as they navigate the shadowy abyss of prepping a talk. I&#039;m also hoping that some of the more experienced talk-givers can chime in with some of their best tips and tricks for building a slammin&#039; talk.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Megan Monroe is a fifth year PhD student in the Computer Science Department who feels super awkward writing about herself in the third person. That being said, she has given a lot of talks, and is loosely presumed to proficient in this area.&lt;br /&gt;

Privacy Management in the Digital Age&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While regularly used for interpersonal communication, relationship maintenance, and information sharing, newer communication technologies such as Facebook and Twitter have also created significant tension between individuals’ desire to maintain privacy and to be engaged participants in online communities. Problems arise due to the increasing diversity of users on these sites, a lack of privacy management knowledge and/or skills, and the often-changing privacy standards of the sites themselves. Rather than proactively engaging this complexity, many users employ reactive privacy management strategies—until something bad happens to me, I won’t worry about the information I’m sharing.&lt;br /&gt;
Understanding how people conceptualize privacy and how that conceptualization influences behavior is increasingly important in today’s networked world, as individuals—and information—are now connected in more ways than ever before. The affordances of social media distinguish them from other communication channels, both on- and offline, with content being easier to search and archive, while people and content are more highly linked within systems. Thus, the consequences of employing more reactive strategies are far-reaching, with potential impacts on personal relationships, financials, work, and beyond. In this talk, I’ll highlight some of my recent findings on this topic as well as overview my expected research trajectory for the next few years in this very active space. &lt;br /&gt;

Talk and discussion about GitHub and why the HCIL may want to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In this talk, Chris (and others) will lead a talk and discussion about GitHub. Generally, Chris will give an overview of GitHub and facilitate a discussion about why the HCIL might want to adopt GitHub in some way, perhaps by making an &amp;quot;Organization&amp;quot; entity under which projects can be created and students, faculty, and others in the HCIL can check in their code.&lt;br /&gt;

From Digital Footprints to Social Insights&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The pervasiveness of cell phones, mobile applications and social media is generating vast amounts of information that can reveal a wide range of human behavior. From mobility patterns to social connections, these signals expose insights about how humans behave and interact with their environment. While a lot of work has focused on analyzing behaviors, relatively little effort has been dedicated to understanding ways in which such findings could be useful to decision makers in areas like smart cities or public health. In this talk I will discuss two projects: (1) AlertImpact, an agent-based framework that uses geo-referenced cell phone data to model the impact of the preventive actions implemented by the Mexican government during the H1N1 flu outbreak and (2) TweetLand, a method to automatically identify urban land uses and landmarks (point of interest) using tweeting patterns.&lt;br /&gt;

Bridging ICT4D lessons from the NGO sector towards academia ([https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2618031/Alex%20Pompe%20UMD%20Presentation.pptx Slides])&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract: ICT4D professionals in both the academic and NGO areas stand to benefit from greater collaboration, awareness, and transparency of experiences. However, often at conferences both groups are frustrated due to a lack of common understanding and misconceptions. This talk will present a number of case studies from IREX&#039;s ICT work in a variety of regions focused on providing open discussion and discourse so that lessons from all development practitioners can be lent towards improving processes on both sides of the table. The talk will also include discussion of internships and job skills in the ICT4D sector from an NGO employer&#039;s perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; As a Senior Technical Advisor at IREX, Alex Pompe is a lead member of the Center for Collaborative Technology managing the NGO&#039;s ICT4D consulting portfolio. Clients come for a range of countries such as Sri Lanka, Malaysia, India, Nepal, Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, and Bhutan. This work focuses on public access to information barriers and community assessment methodologies. He oversees the Libraries for Development program in Namibia, the Tech Age Teachers program in Tunisia, and the New Education Technology program in Kazakhstan. He splits time between the IREX DC and Namibia offices.&lt;br /&gt;
Alex holds a BS in physics from the University of Illinois, and an MSI from the University of Michigan School of Information. He focused on information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D).&lt;br /&gt;

The goal of this session is to provide several students at various points in their academic programs&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
, but especially new students, with a chance to talk about (1) their interests, (2) the projects to which they&#039;ve contributed, and (3) those they&#039;d like to do. Our hope is that this will allow new students to introduce themselves and convey their interests in a way that helps them find others with shared interests and form working relationships on projects with professors and other students. Students will have 5–8 minutes to introduce themselves and their interests, their previous and current projects, skills and expertise, and their future interests in HCI and the HCIL. Hopefully, this will help new students connect with professors and other students with whom they share interests and can work together on research projects. Following talks will be about 10 minutes for discussion with the presenting students (perhaps for asking them to join a project team).&lt;br /&gt;

Everybody’s internet? :Designing for mobile-centric internet users in the developing world &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Within 5 years, wireless broadband services will cover 85% of the world’s population, &lt;br /&gt;
and data-enabled mobile (cellular) devices will outnumber personal computers and &lt;br /&gt;
tablets. This talk, taken from a book in preparation, details the growing importance &lt;br /&gt;
of ‘mobile-centric internet use’ in the developing world, raising questions and &lt;br /&gt;
challenges for design.&lt;br /&gt;
A breathlessly optimistic narrative has proclaimed the mobile phone the device &lt;br /&gt;
which will finally close the ‘digital divide’, but the digital world does not run &lt;br /&gt;
exclusively on mobile handsets. To guide policy and technical investments in &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development— I argue that it is better to reframe and view the &lt;br /&gt;
mobile handset as one piece of a person’s digital repertoire, which also might include &lt;br /&gt;
PCs, telecentres, TVs, tablets, and other devices. &lt;br /&gt;
In the talk and in the book I revisit some of my previous studies in three domains of &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development: microenterprises and livelihoods, citizen journalism, &lt;br /&gt;
and secondary education. Across each, I celebrate the transformational potential of &lt;br /&gt;
the mobile phone. Yet, in each case, I use the “digital repertoires” lens to raise &lt;br /&gt;
concerns, identifying how the capacity to generate, produce, and curate information &lt;br /&gt;
may remain concentrated among those with better resources to secure digital tools,&lt;br /&gt;
and the skills and incentives to use them. The person with $30 basic data-enabled &lt;br /&gt;
phone and the person with a smartphone and a state-of-the-art $1000 desktop &lt;br /&gt;
computer both can connect to the internet; however, it is not the same internet.&lt;br /&gt;
Yet these persistent digital stratifications can be reduced if technologists, &lt;br /&gt;
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers work to ensure that constrained digital &lt;br /&gt;
repertoires enable not only coordination and consumption (which phones already do &lt;br /&gt;
well), but also contribution (which they do less well). From natural user interfaces to &lt;br /&gt;
language support to bandwidth pricing, there are concrete ways in which more &lt;br /&gt;
empathetic design and policy can help a greater proportion of the world’s &lt;br /&gt;
inhabitants be more productive with their ICTs. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research India seeks to address the needs and aspirations of people in the world&#039;s developing communities. Our research targets people who are just beginning to use computing technologies and services as well as those for whom access to computing still remains largely out of reach. Most of our work falls under the rubric of the relatively young field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD or ICT4D). By combining a variety of backgrounds and training, we are able to engage deeply with some of the complex problems associated with poverty and scarce resources. Our goal is to study, design, build, and evaluate technologies and systems that are useful for people living in underserved rural and urban communities around the world. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the recent work in the group, focusing on projects that explore modalities and interactions specifically designed for the unique contexts and users we’re working with:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1) VideoKheti: A prototype multimodal system to help low-literate farmers search for agricultural extension videos on smart phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2) IVR Junction: A platform for building scalable and distributed voice forums for users with low-end phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3) Massively Empowered Classrooms (MEC): A project to explore how innovations in MOOCs and blended learning can be applied to second-tier, large-scale engineering education in India.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4) Maybe something else, depending on the interests of the audience&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;width:800px&amp;quot;&amp;gt; HCI and Networking - Taming the Internet One Bit at a Time&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As we become more dependent on high speed Internet, we increasingly have to deal with making sure our devices are connected properly, that we&#039;re getting the speeds we need, and that we&#039;re making efficient use of our data. Yet often, Internet connections break or do not work as planned, causing us endless headaches. We also have to juggle constraints such as slow speeds, limited bandwidth, and high data costs depending on our location and use. My research focuses on helping users manage Internet connectivity in their homes, the workplace, and on the go, particularly under constraints of low resources and high costs. In this talk, I&#039;ll go over how I use HCI and networking to reach the goal of taming the Internet for everyday users and talk about future directions.&lt;br /&gt;

Tracking the Body in Healthcare&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; New gesture and movement tracking technologies are offering rich possibilities for our everyday computing experiences. More than simply intuitive and non-intrusive forms of interaction these technologies can provide ways to transform behavioral practices in particular contexts. Within these contexts, there are important challenges in how we take the opportunities provided by body/movement sensing systems and design them in ways that are attuned to the demands and circumstances of a particular setting. In this talk I will explore these issues in the context of the particular setting of healthcare. I will present prior work on a Kinect-based system that uses gesture and voice recognition capabilities to enable clinicians to interact with images during surgery without compromising sterility as well as new work on sensing a Parkinson&#039;s patient&#039;s movement ability for clinical decision-making and patient empowerment.&lt;br /&gt;

Accessible Social Technology &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For better and worse, technology has changed how we connect with one another, potentially excluding those who have not kept up with changing social norms. To provide one common example: grandparents who have not adopted Facebook often find themselves excluded from family photo sharing practices. In this talk, Karyn will informally discuss recent projects targeted at drawing marginalized individuals into online social forums, with a focus on bridging diverse preferences and accommodating competing needs.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Karyn Moffatt is an assistant professor in the School of Information Studies at McGill University. Currently, her work focuses on designing tools that are sensitive to the social context in which they will be used and that seek to leverage and support those relationships. Prior to joining McGill University, Karyn was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Toronto supported by awards from NSERC and CIHR’s Health Care, Technology, and Place strategic initiative. She received her doctorate in computer science from the University of British Columbia in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;

The Talk Talk&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;So you have to give a talk, now what? Well, it&#039;s probably too late to run, and nobody likes a hider, so your best bet is to just suck it up, and start prepping your talk. But how? What should you do first? What are you even trying to accomplish here? Prepping a talk is not only a daunting prospect, but it&#039;s really easy to get lost in the details and lose sight of the big picture. In this brown bag, I&#039;ll be laying out that big picture, and providing a step-by-step roadmap of how to get there. The goal is to give rookie talk-givers a better sense of direction as they navigate the shadowy abyss of prepping a talk. I&#039;m also hoping that some of the more experienced talk-givers can chime in with some of their best tips and tricks for building a slammin&#039; talk.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Megan Monroe is a fifth year PhD student in the Computer Science Department who feels super awkward writing about herself in the third person. That being said, she has given a lot of talks, and is loosely presumed to proficient in this area.&lt;br /&gt;

Privacy Management in the Digital Age&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While regularly used for interpersonal communication, relationship maintenance, and information sharing, newer communication technologies such as Facebook and Twitter have also created significant tension between individuals’ desire to maintain privacy and to be engaged participants in online communities. Problems arise due to the increasing diversity of users on these sites, a lack of privacy management knowledge and/or skills, and the often-changing privacy standards of the sites themselves. Rather than proactively engaging this complexity, many users employ reactive privacy management strategies—until something bad happens to me, I won’t worry about the information I’m sharing.&lt;br /&gt;
Understanding how people conceptualize privacy and how that conceptualization influences behavior is increasingly important in today’s networked world, as individuals—and information—are now connected in more ways than ever before. The affordances of social media distinguish them from other communication channels, both on- and offline, with content being easier to search and archive, while people and content are more highly linked within systems. Thus, the consequences of employing more reactive strategies are far-reaching, with potential impacts on personal relationships, financials, work, and beyond. In this talk, I’ll highlight some of my recent findings on this topic as well as overview my expected research trajectory for the next few years in this very active space. &lt;br /&gt;

Talk and discussion about GitHub and why the HCIL may want to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In this talk, Chris (and others) will lead a talk and discussion about GitHub. Generally, Chris will give an overview of GitHub and facilitate a discussion about why the HCIL might want to adopt GitHub in some way, perhaps by making an &amp;quot;Organization&amp;quot; entity under which projects can be created and students, faculty, and others in the HCIL can check in their code.&lt;br /&gt;

From Digital Footprints to Social Insights&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The pervasiveness of cell phones, mobile applications and social media is generating vast amounts of information that can reveal a wide range of human behavior. From mobility patterns to social connections, these signals expose insights about how humans behave and interact with their environment. While a lot of work has focused on analyzing behaviors, relatively little effort has been dedicated to understanding ways in which such findings could be useful to decision makers in areas like smart cities or public health. In this talk I will discuss two projects: (1) AlertImpact, an agent-based framework that uses geo-referenced cell phone data to model the impact of the preventive actions implemented by the Mexican government during the H1N1 flu outbreak and (2) TweetLand, a method to automatically identify urban land uses and landmarks (point of interest) using tweeting patterns.&lt;br /&gt;

Bridging ICT4D lessons from the NGO sector towards academia ([https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2618031/Alex%20Pompe%20UMD%20Presentation.pptx Slides])&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract: ICT4D professionals in both the academic and NGO areas stand to benefit from greater collaboration, awareness, and transparency of experiences. However, often at conferences both groups are frustrated due to a lack of common understanding and misconceptions. This talk will present a number of case studies from IREX&#039;s ICT work in a variety of regions focused on providing open discussion and discourse so that lessons from all development practitioners can be lent towards improving processes on both sides of the table. The talk will also include discussion of internships and job skills in the ICT4D sector from an NGO employer&#039;s perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; As a Senior Technical Advisor at IREX, Alex Pompe is a lead member of the Center for Collaborative Technology managing the NGO&#039;s ICT4D consulting portfolio. Clients come for a range of countries such as Sri Lanka, Malaysia, India, Nepal, Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, and Bhutan. This work focuses on public access to information barriers and community assessment methodologies. He oversees the Libraries for Development program in Namibia, the Tech Age Teachers program in Tunisia, and the New Education Technology program in Kazakhstan. He splits time between the IREX DC and Namibia offices.&lt;br /&gt;
Alex holds a BS in physics from the University of Illinois, and an MSI from the University of Michigan School of Information. He focused on information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D).&lt;br /&gt;

The goal of this session is to provide several students at various points in their academic programs&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
, but especially new students, with a chance to talk about (1) their interests, (2) the projects to which they&#039;ve contributed, and (3) those they&#039;d like to do. Our hope is that this will allow new students to introduce themselves and convey their interests in a way that helps them find others with shared interests and form working relationships on projects with professors and other students. Students will have 5–8 minutes to introduce themselves and their interests, their previous and current projects, skills and expertise, and their future interests in HCI and the HCIL. Hopefully, this will help new students connect with professors and other students with whom they share interests and can work together on research projects. Following talks will be about 10 minutes for discussion with the presenting students (perhaps for asking them to join a project team).&lt;br /&gt;

Everybody’s internet? :Designing for mobile-centric internet users in the developing world &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Within 5 years, wireless broadband services will cover 85% of the world’s population, &lt;br /&gt;
and data-enabled mobile (cellular) devices will outnumber personal computers and &lt;br /&gt;
tablets. This talk, taken from a book in preparation, details the growing importance &lt;br /&gt;
of ‘mobile-centric internet use’ in the developing world, raising questions and &lt;br /&gt;
challenges for design.&lt;br /&gt;
A breathlessly optimistic narrative has proclaimed the mobile phone the device &lt;br /&gt;
which will finally close the ‘digital divide’, but the digital world does not run &lt;br /&gt;
exclusively on mobile handsets. To guide policy and technical investments in &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development— I argue that it is better to reframe and view the &lt;br /&gt;
mobile handset as one piece of a person’s digital repertoire, which also might include &lt;br /&gt;
PCs, telecentres, TVs, tablets, and other devices. &lt;br /&gt;
In the talk and in the book I revisit some of my previous studies in three domains of &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development: microenterprises and livelihoods, citizen journalism, &lt;br /&gt;
and secondary education. Across each, I celebrate the transformational potential of &lt;br /&gt;
the mobile phone. Yet, in each case, I use the “digital repertoires” lens to raise &lt;br /&gt;
concerns, identifying how the capacity to generate, produce, and curate information &lt;br /&gt;
may remain concentrated among those with better resources to secure digital tools,&lt;br /&gt;
and the skills and incentives to use them. The person with $30 basic data-enabled &lt;br /&gt;
phone and the person with a smartphone and a state-of-the-art $1000 desktop &lt;br /&gt;
computer both can connect to the internet; however, it is not the same internet.&lt;br /&gt;
Yet these persistent digital stratifications can be reduced if technologists, &lt;br /&gt;
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers work to ensure that constrained digital &lt;br /&gt;
repertoires enable not only coordination and consumption (which phones already do &lt;br /&gt;
well), but also contribution (which they do less well). From natural user interfaces to &lt;br /&gt;
language support to bandwidth pricing, there are concrete ways in which more &lt;br /&gt;
empathetic design and policy can help a greater proportion of the world’s &lt;br /&gt;
inhabitants be more productive with their ICTs. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research India seeks to address the needs and aspirations of people in the world&#039;s developing communities. Our research targets people who are just beginning to use computing technologies and services as well as those for whom access to computing still remains largely out of reach. Most of our work falls under the rubric of the relatively young field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD or ICT4D). By combining a variety of backgrounds and training, we are able to engage deeply with some of the complex problems associated with poverty and scarce resources. Our goal is to study, design, build, and evaluate technologies and systems that are useful for people living in underserved rural and urban communities around the world. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the recent work in the group, focusing on projects that explore modalities and interactions specifically designed for the unique contexts and users we’re working with:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1) VideoKheti: A prototype multimodal system to help low-literate farmers search for agricultural extension videos on smart phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2) IVR Junction: A platform for building scalable and distributed voice forums for users with low-end phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3) Massively Empowered Classrooms (MEC): A project to explore how innovations in MOOCs and blended learning can be applied to second-tier, large-scale engineering education in India.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4) Maybe something else, depending on the interests of the audience&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As we become more dependent on high speed Internet, we increasingly have to deal with making sure our devices are connected properly, that we&#039;re getting the speeds we need, and that we&#039;re making efficient use of our data. Yet often, Internet connections break or do not work as planned, causing us endless headaches. We also have to juggle constraints such as slow speeds, limited bandwidth, and high data costs depending on our location and use. My research focuses on helping users manage Internet connectivity in their homes, the workplace, and on the go, particularly under constraints of low resources and high costs. In this talk, I&#039;ll go over how I use HCI and networking to reach the goal of taming the Internet for everyday users and talk about future directions.&lt;br /&gt;

Tracking the Body in Healthcare&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; New gesture and movement tracking technologies are offering rich possibilities for our everyday computing experiences. More than simply intuitive and non-intrusive forms of interaction these technologies can provide ways to transform behavioral practices in particular contexts. Within these contexts, there are important challenges in how we take the opportunities provided by body/movement sensing systems and design them in ways that are attuned to the demands and circumstances of a particular setting. In this talk I will explore these issues in the context of the particular setting of healthcare. I will present prior work on a Kinect-based system that uses gesture and voice recognition capabilities to enable clinicians to interact with images during surgery without compromising sterility as well as new work on sensing a Parkinson&#039;s patient&#039;s movement ability for clinical decision-making and patient empowerment.&lt;br /&gt;

Accessible Social Technology &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For better and worse, technology has changed how we connect with one another, potentially excluding those who have not kept up with changing social norms. To provide one common example: grandparents who have not adopted Facebook often find themselves excluded from family photo sharing practices. In this talk, Karyn will informally discuss recent projects targeted at drawing marginalized individuals into online social forums, with a focus on bridging diverse preferences and accommodating competing needs.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Karyn Moffatt is an assistant professor in the School of Information Studies at McGill University. Currently, her work focuses on designing tools that are sensitive to the social context in which they will be used and that seek to leverage and support those relationships. Prior to joining McGill University, Karyn was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Toronto supported by awards from NSERC and CIHR’s Health Care, Technology, and Place strategic initiative. She received her doctorate in computer science from the University of British Columbia in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;

The Talk Talk&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;So you have to give a talk, now what? Well, it&#039;s probably too late to run, and nobody likes a hider, so your best bet is to just suck it up, and start prepping your talk. But how? What should you do first? What are you even trying to accomplish here? Prepping a talk is not only a daunting prospect, but it&#039;s really easy to get lost in the details and lose sight of the big picture. In this brown bag, I&#039;ll be laying out that big picture, and providing a step-by-step roadmap of how to get there. The goal is to give rookie talk-givers a better sense of direction as they navigate the shadowy abyss of prepping a talk. I&#039;m also hoping that some of the more experienced talk-givers can chime in with some of their best tips and tricks for building a slammin&#039; talk.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Megan Monroe is a fifth year PhD student in the Computer Science Department who feels super awkward writing about herself in the third person. That being said, she has given a lot of talks, and is loosely presumed to proficient in this area.&lt;br /&gt;

Privacy Management in the Digital Age&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While regularly used for interpersonal communication, relationship maintenance, and information sharing, newer communication technologies such as Facebook and Twitter have also created significant tension between individuals’ desire to maintain privacy and to be engaged participants in online communities. Problems arise due to the increasing diversity of users on these sites, a lack of privacy management knowledge and/or skills, and the often-changing privacy standards of the sites themselves. Rather than proactively engaging this complexity, many users employ reactive privacy management strategies—until something bad happens to me, I won’t worry about the information I’m sharing.&lt;br /&gt;
Understanding how people conceptualize privacy and how that conceptualization influences behavior is increasingly important in today’s networked world, as individuals—and information—are now connected in more ways than ever before. The affordances of social media distinguish them from other communication channels, both on- and offline, with content being easier to search and archive, while people and content are more highly linked within systems. Thus, the consequences of employing more reactive strategies are far-reaching, with potential impacts on personal relationships, financials, work, and beyond. In this talk, I’ll highlight some of my recent findings on this topic as well as overview my expected research trajectory for the next few years in this very active space. &lt;br /&gt;

Talk and discussion about GitHub and why the HCIL may want to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In this talk, Chris (and others) will lead a talk and discussion about GitHub. Generally, Chris will give an overview of GitHub and facilitate a discussion about why the HCIL might want to adopt GitHub in some way, perhaps by making an &amp;quot;Organization&amp;quot; entity under which projects can be created and students, faculty, and others in the HCIL can check in their code.&lt;br /&gt;

From Digital Footprints to Social Insights&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The pervasiveness of cell phones, mobile applications and social media is generating vast amounts of information that can reveal a wide range of human behavior. From mobility patterns to social connections, these signals expose insights about how humans behave and interact with their environment. While a lot of work has focused on analyzing behaviors, relatively little effort has been dedicated to understanding ways in which such findings could be useful to decision makers in areas like smart cities or public health. In this talk I will discuss two projects: (1) AlertImpact, an agent-based framework that uses geo-referenced cell phone data to model the impact of the preventive actions implemented by the Mexican government during the H1N1 flu outbreak and (2) TweetLand, a method to automatically identify urban land uses and landmarks (point of interest) using tweeting patterns.&lt;br /&gt;

Bridging ICT4D lessons from the NGO sector towards academia ([https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2618031/Alex%20Pompe%20UMD%20Presentation.pptx Slides])&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract: ICT4D professionals in both the academic and NGO areas stand to benefit from greater collaboration, awareness, and transparency of experiences. However, often at conferences both groups are frustrated due to a lack of common understanding and misconceptions. This talk will present a number of case studies from IREX&#039;s ICT work in a variety of regions focused on providing open discussion and discourse so that lessons from all development practitioners can be lent towards improving processes on both sides of the table. The talk will also include discussion of internships and job skills in the ICT4D sector from an NGO employer&#039;s perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; As a Senior Technical Advisor at IREX, Alex Pompe is a lead member of the Center for Collaborative Technology managing the NGO&#039;s ICT4D consulting portfolio. Clients come for a range of countries such as Sri Lanka, Malaysia, India, Nepal, Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, and Bhutan. This work focuses on public access to information barriers and community assessment methodologies. He oversees the Libraries for Development program in Namibia, the Tech Age Teachers program in Tunisia, and the New Education Technology program in Kazakhstan. He splits time between the IREX DC and Namibia offices.&lt;br /&gt;

The goal of this session is to provide several students at various points in their academic programs&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
, but especially new students, with a chance to talk about (1) their interests, (2) the projects to which they&#039;ve contributed, and (3) those they&#039;d like to do. Our hope is that this will allow new students to introduce themselves and convey their interests in a way that helps them find others with shared interests and form working relationships on projects with professors and other students. Students will have 5–8 minutes to introduce themselves and their interests, their previous and current projects, skills and expertise, and their future interests in HCI and the HCIL. Hopefully, this will help new students connect with professors and other students with whom they share interests and can work together on research projects. Following talks will be about 10 minutes for discussion with the presenting students (perhaps for asking them to join a project team).&lt;br /&gt;

Everybody’s internet? :Designing for mobile-centric internet users in the developing world &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Within 5 years, wireless broadband services will cover 85% of the world’s population, &lt;br /&gt;
and data-enabled mobile (cellular) devices will outnumber personal computers and &lt;br /&gt;
tablets. This talk, taken from a book in preparation, details the growing importance &lt;br /&gt;
of ‘mobile-centric internet use’ in the developing world, raising questions and &lt;br /&gt;
challenges for design.&lt;br /&gt;
A breathlessly optimistic narrative has proclaimed the mobile phone the device &lt;br /&gt;
which will finally close the ‘digital divide’, but the digital world does not run &lt;br /&gt;
exclusively on mobile handsets. To guide policy and technical investments in &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development— I argue that it is better to reframe and view the &lt;br /&gt;
mobile handset as one piece of a person’s digital repertoire, which also might include &lt;br /&gt;
PCs, telecentres, TVs, tablets, and other devices. &lt;br /&gt;
In the talk and in the book I revisit some of my previous studies in three domains of &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development: microenterprises and livelihoods, citizen journalism, &lt;br /&gt;
and secondary education. Across each, I celebrate the transformational potential of &lt;br /&gt;
the mobile phone. Yet, in each case, I use the “digital repertoires” lens to raise &lt;br /&gt;
concerns, identifying how the capacity to generate, produce, and curate information &lt;br /&gt;
may remain concentrated among those with better resources to secure digital tools,&lt;br /&gt;
and the skills and incentives to use them. The person with $30 basic data-enabled &lt;br /&gt;
phone and the person with a smartphone and a state-of-the-art $1000 desktop &lt;br /&gt;
computer both can connect to the internet; however, it is not the same internet.&lt;br /&gt;
Yet these persistent digital stratifications can be reduced if technologists, &lt;br /&gt;
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers work to ensure that constrained digital &lt;br /&gt;
repertoires enable not only coordination and consumption (which phones already do &lt;br /&gt;
well), but also contribution (which they do less well). From natural user interfaces to &lt;br /&gt;
language support to bandwidth pricing, there are concrete ways in which more &lt;br /&gt;
empathetic design and policy can help a greater proportion of the world’s &lt;br /&gt;
inhabitants be more productive with their ICTs. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research India seeks to address the needs and aspirations of people in the world&#039;s developing communities. Our research targets people who are just beginning to use computing technologies and services as well as those for whom access to computing still remains largely out of reach. Most of our work falls under the rubric of the relatively young field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD or ICT4D). By combining a variety of backgrounds and training, we are able to engage deeply with some of the complex problems associated with poverty and scarce resources. Our goal is to study, design, build, and evaluate technologies and systems that are useful for people living in underserved rural and urban communities around the world. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the recent work in the group, focusing on projects that explore modalities and interactions specifically designed for the unique contexts and users we’re working with:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1) VideoKheti: A prototype multimodal system to help low-literate farmers search for agricultural extension videos on smart phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2) IVR Junction: A platform for building scalable and distributed voice forums for users with low-end phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3) Massively Empowered Classrooms (MEC): A project to explore how innovations in MOOCs and blended learning can be applied to second-tier, large-scale engineering education in India.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4) Maybe something else, depending on the interests of the audience&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As we become more dependent on high speed Internet, we increasingly have to deal with making sure our devices are connected properly, that we&#039;re getting the speeds we need, and that we&#039;re making efficient use of our data. Yet often, Internet connections break or do not work as planned, causing us endless headaches. We also have to juggle constraints such as slow speeds, limited bandwidth, and high data costs depending on our location and use. My research focuses on helping users manage Internet connectivity in their homes, the workplace, and on the go, particularly under constraints of low resources and high costs. In this talk, I&#039;ll go over how I use HCI and networking to reach the goal of taming the Internet for everyday users and talk about future directions.&lt;br /&gt;

Tracking the Body in Healthcare&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; New gesture and movement tracking technologies are offering rich possibilities for our everyday computing experiences. More than simply intuitive and non-intrusive forms of interaction these technologies can provide ways to transform behavioral practices in particular contexts. Within these contexts, there are important challenges in how we take the opportunities provided by body/movement sensing systems and design them in ways that are attuned to the demands and circumstances of a particular setting. In this talk I will explore these issues in the context of the particular setting of healthcare. I will present prior work on a Kinect-based system that uses gesture and voice recognition capabilities to enable clinicians to interact with images during surgery without compromising sterility as well as new work on sensing a Parkinson&#039;s patient&#039;s movement ability for clinical decision-making and patient empowerment.&lt;br /&gt;

Accessible Social Technology &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For better and worse, technology has changed how we connect with one another, potentially excluding those who have not kept up with changing social norms. To provide one common example: grandparents who have not adopted Facebook often find themselves excluded from family photo sharing practices. In this talk, Karyn will informally discuss recent projects targeted at drawing marginalized individuals into online social forums, with a focus on bridging diverse preferences and accommodating competing needs.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Karyn Moffatt is an assistant professor in the School of Information Studies at McGill University. Currently, her work focuses on designing tools that are sensitive to the social context in which they will be used and that seek to leverage and support those relationships. Prior to joining McGill University, Karyn was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Toronto supported by awards from NSERC and CIHR’s Health Care, Technology, and Place strategic initiative. She received her doctorate in computer science from the University of British Columbia in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;

The Talk Talk&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;So you have to give a talk, now what? Well, it&#039;s probably too late to run, and nobody likes a hider, so your best bet is to just suck it up, and start prepping your talk. But how? What should you do first? What are you even trying to accomplish here? Prepping a talk is not only a daunting prospect, but it&#039;s really easy to get lost in the details and lose sight of the big picture. In this brown bag, I&#039;ll be laying out that big picture, and providing a step-by-step roadmap of how to get there. The goal is to give rookie talk-givers a better sense of direction as they navigate the shadowy abyss of prepping a talk. I&#039;m also hoping that some of the more experienced talk-givers can chime in with some of their best tips and tricks for building a slammin&#039; talk.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Megan Monroe is a fifth year PhD student in the Computer Science Department who feels super awkward writing about herself in the third person. That being said, she has given a lot of talks, and is loosely presumed to proficient in this area.&lt;br /&gt;

Privacy Management in the Digital Age&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While regularly used for interpersonal communication, relationship maintenance, and information sharing, newer communication technologies such as Facebook and Twitter have also created significant tension between individuals’ desire to maintain privacy and to be engaged participants in online communities. Problems arise due to the increasing diversity of users on these sites, a lack of privacy management knowledge and/or skills, and the often-changing privacy standards of the sites themselves. Rather than proactively engaging this complexity, many users employ reactive privacy management strategies—until something bad happens to me, I won’t worry about the information I’m sharing.&lt;br /&gt;
Understanding how people conceptualize privacy and how that conceptualization influences behavior is increasingly important in today’s networked world, as individuals—and information—are now connected in more ways than ever before. The affordances of social media distinguish them from other communication channels, both on- and offline, with content being easier to search and archive, while people and content are more highly linked within systems. Thus, the consequences of employing more reactive strategies are far-reaching, with potential impacts on personal relationships, financials, work, and beyond. In this talk, I’ll highlight some of my recent findings on this topic as well as overview my expected research trajectory for the next few years in this very active space. &lt;br /&gt;

Talk and discussion about GitHub and why the HCIL may want to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In this talk, Chris (and others) will lead a talk and discussion about GitHub. Generally, Chris will give an overview of GitHub and facilitate a discussion about why the HCIL might want to adopt GitHub in some way, perhaps by making an &amp;quot;Organization&amp;quot; entity under which projects can be created and students, faculty, and others in the HCIL can check in their code.&lt;br /&gt;

From Digital Footprints to Social Insights&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The pervasiveness of cell phones, mobile applications and social media is generating vast amounts of information that can reveal a wide range of human behavior. From mobility patterns to social connections, these signals expose insights about how humans behave and interact with their environment. While a lot of work has focused on analyzing behaviors, relatively little effort has been dedicated to understanding ways in which such findings could be useful to decision makers in areas like smart cities or public health. In this talk I will discuss two projects: (1) AlertImpact, an agent-based framework that uses geo-referenced cell phone data to model the impact of the preventive actions implemented by the Mexican government during the H1N1 flu outbreak and (2) TweetLand, a method to automatically identify urban land uses and landmarks (point of interest) using tweeting patterns.&lt;br /&gt;

Bridging ICT4D lessons from the NGO sector towards academia ([https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2618031/Alex%20Pompe%20UMD%20Presentation.pptx Slides])&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract: ICT4D professionals in both the academic and NGO areas stand to benefit from greater collaboration, awareness, and transparency of experiences. However, often at conferences both groups are frustrated due to a lack of common understanding and misconceptions. This talk will present a number of case studies from IREX&#039;s ICT work in a variety of regions focused on providing open discussion and discourse so that lessons from all development practitioners can be lent towards improving processes on both sides of the table. The talk will also include discussion of internships and job skills in the ICT4D sector from an NGO employer&#039;s perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; As a Senior Technical Advisor at IREX, Alex Pompe is a lead member of the Center for Collaborative Technology managing the NGO&#039;s ICT4D consulting portfolio. Clients come for a range of countries such as Sri Lanka, Malaysia, India, Nepal, Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, and Bhutan. This work focuses on public access to information barriers and community assessment methodologies. He oversees the Libraries for Development program in Namibia, the Tech Age Teachers program in Tunisia, and the New Education Technology program in Kazakhstan. He splits time between the IREX DC and Namibia offices.&lt;br /&gt;
Alex holds a BS in physics from the University of Illinois, and an MSI from the University of Michigan School of Information. He focused on information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D).&lt;br /&gt;

The goal of this session is to provide several students at various points in their academic programs&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
, but especially new students, with a chance to talk about (1) their interests, (2) the projects to which they&#039;ve contributed, and (3) those they&#039;d like to do. Our hope is that this will allow new students to introduce themselves and convey their interests in a way that helps them find others with shared interests and form working relationships on projects with professors and other students. Students will have 5–8 minutes to introduce themselves and their interests, their previous and current projects, skills and expertise, and their future interests in HCI and the HCIL. Hopefully, this will help new students connect with professors and other students with whom they share interests and can work together on research projects. Following talks will be about 10 minutes for discussion with the presenting students (perhaps for asking them to join a project team).&lt;br /&gt;

Everybody’s internet? :Designing for mobile-centric internet users in the developing world &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Within 5 years, wireless broadband services will cover 85% of the world’s population, &lt;br /&gt;
and data-enabled mobile (cellular) devices will outnumber personal computers and &lt;br /&gt;
tablets. This talk, taken from a book in preparation, details the growing importance &lt;br /&gt;
of ‘mobile-centric internet use’ in the developing world, raising questions and &lt;br /&gt;
challenges for design.&lt;br /&gt;
A breathlessly optimistic narrative has proclaimed the mobile phone the device &lt;br /&gt;
which will finally close the ‘digital divide’, but the digital world does not run &lt;br /&gt;
exclusively on mobile handsets. To guide policy and technical investments in &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development— I argue that it is better to reframe and view the &lt;br /&gt;
mobile handset as one piece of a person’s digital repertoire, which also might include &lt;br /&gt;
PCs, telecentres, TVs, tablets, and other devices. &lt;br /&gt;
In the talk and in the book I revisit some of my previous studies in three domains of &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development: microenterprises and livelihoods, citizen journalism, &lt;br /&gt;
and secondary education. Across each, I celebrate the transformational potential of &lt;br /&gt;
the mobile phone. Yet, in each case, I use the “digital repertoires” lens to raise &lt;br /&gt;
concerns, identifying how the capacity to generate, produce, and curate information &lt;br /&gt;
may remain concentrated among those with better resources to secure digital tools,&lt;br /&gt;
and the skills and incentives to use them. The person with $30 basic data-enabled &lt;br /&gt;
phone and the person with a smartphone and a state-of-the-art $1000 desktop &lt;br /&gt;
computer both can connect to the internet; however, it is not the same internet.&lt;br /&gt;
Yet these persistent digital stratifications can be reduced if technologists, &lt;br /&gt;
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers work to ensure that constrained digital &lt;br /&gt;
repertoires enable not only coordination and consumption (which phones already do &lt;br /&gt;
well), but also contribution (which they do less well). From natural user interfaces to &lt;br /&gt;
language support to bandwidth pricing, there are concrete ways in which more &lt;br /&gt;
empathetic design and policy can help a greater proportion of the world’s &lt;br /&gt;
inhabitants be more productive with their ICTs. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research India seeks to address the needs and aspirations of people in the world&#039;s developing communities. Our research targets people who are just beginning to use computing technologies and services as well as those for whom access to computing still remains largely out of reach. Most of our work falls under the rubric of the relatively young field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD or ICT4D). By combining a variety of backgrounds and training, we are able to engage deeply with some of the complex problems associated with poverty and scarce resources. Our goal is to study, design, build, and evaluate technologies and systems that are useful for people living in underserved rural and urban communities around the world. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the recent work in the group, focusing on projects that explore modalities and interactions specifically designed for the unique contexts and users we’re working with:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1) VideoKheti: A prototype multimodal system to help low-literate farmers search for agricultural extension videos on smart phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2) IVR Junction: A platform for building scalable and distributed voice forums for users with low-end phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3) Massively Empowered Classrooms (MEC): A project to explore how innovations in MOOCs and blended learning can be applied to second-tier, large-scale engineering education in India.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4) Maybe something else, depending on the interests of the audience&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bio: &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;width:800px&amp;quot;&amp;gt; HCI and Networking - Taming the Internet One Bit at a Time&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As we become more dependent on high speed Internet, we increasingly have to deal with making sure our devices are connected properly, that we&#039;re getting the speeds we need, and that we&#039;re making efficient use of our data. Yet often, Internet connections break or do not work as planned, causing us endless headaches. We also have to juggle constraints such as slow speeds, limited bandwidth, and high data costs depending on our location and use. My research focuses on helping users manage Internet connectivity in their homes, the workplace, and on the go, particularly under constraints of low resources and high costs. In this talk, I&#039;ll go over how I use HCI and networking to reach the goal of taming the Internet for everyday users and talk about future directions.&lt;br /&gt;

The topics range from someone&#039;s work, current interest to the HCIL, a software demo/review, a study design, a proposed research topic, an introduction to a new person, etc.   The BBL is the one hour a week where we all come together--thus, it’s a unique time for HCIL members with unique opportunities to help build collaborations, increase awareness of each other’s activities, and generally just have a bit of fun together with &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;free food every week&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Tracking the Body in Healthcare&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; New gesture and movement tracking technologies are offering rich possibilities for our everyday computing experiences. More than simply intuitive and non-intrusive forms of interaction these technologies can provide ways to transform behavioral practices in particular contexts. Within these contexts, there are important challenges in how we take the opportunities provided by body/movement sensing systems and design them in ways that are attuned to the demands and circumstances of a particular setting. In this talk I will explore these issues in the context of the particular setting of healthcare. I will present prior work on a Kinect-based system that uses gesture and voice recognition capabilities to enable clinicians to interact with images during surgery without compromising sterility as well as new work on sensing a Parkinson&#039;s patient&#039;s movement ability for clinical decision-making and patient empowerment.&lt;br /&gt;

Accessible Social Technology &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For better and worse, technology has changed how we connect with one another, potentially excluding those who have not kept up with changing social norms. To provide one common example: grandparents who have not adopted Facebook often find themselves excluded from family photo sharing practices. In this talk, Karyn will informally discuss recent projects targeted at drawing marginalized individuals into online social forums, with a focus on bridging diverse preferences and accommodating competing needs.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Karyn Moffatt is an assistant professor in the School of Information Studies at McGill University. Currently, her work focuses on designing tools that are sensitive to the social context in which they will be used and that seek to leverage and support those relationships. Prior to joining McGill University, Karyn was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Toronto supported by awards from NSERC and CIHR’s Health Care, Technology, and Place strategic initiative. She received her doctorate in computer science from the University of British Columbia in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;

The Talk Talk&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;So you have to give a talk, now what? Well, it&#039;s probably too late to run, and nobody likes a hider, so your best bet is to just suck it up, and start prepping your talk. But how? What should you do first? What are you even trying to accomplish here? Prepping a talk is not only a daunting prospect, but it&#039;s really easy to get lost in the details and lose sight of the big picture. In this brown bag, I&#039;ll be laying out that big picture, and providing a step-by-step roadmap of how to get there. The goal is to give rookie talk-givers a better sense of direction as they navigate the shadowy abyss of prepping a talk. I&#039;m also hoping that some of the more experienced talk-givers can chime in with some of their best tips and tricks for building a slammin&#039; talk.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Megan Monroe is a fifth year PhD student in the Computer Science Department who feels super awkward writing about herself in the third person. That being said, she has given a lot of talks, and is loosely presumed to proficient in this area.&lt;br /&gt;

Privacy Management in the Digital Age&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While regularly used for interpersonal communication, relationship maintenance, and information sharing, newer communication technologies such as Facebook and Twitter have also created significant tension between individuals’ desire to maintain privacy and to be engaged participants in online communities. Problems arise due to the increasing diversity of users on these sites, a lack of privacy management knowledge and/or skills, and the often-changing privacy standards of the sites themselves. Rather than proactively engaging this complexity, many users employ reactive privacy management strategies—until something bad happens to me, I won’t worry about the information I’m sharing.&lt;br /&gt;
Understanding how people conceptualize privacy and how that conceptualization influences behavior is increasingly important in today’s networked world, as individuals—and information—are now connected in more ways than ever before. The affordances of social media distinguish them from other communication channels, both on- and offline, with content being easier to search and archive, while people and content are more highly linked within systems. Thus, the consequences of employing more reactive strategies are far-reaching, with potential impacts on personal relationships, financials, work, and beyond. In this talk, I’ll highlight some of my recent findings on this topic as well as overview my expected research trajectory for the next few years in this very active space. &lt;br /&gt;

Talk and discussion about GitHub and why the HCIL may want to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In this talk, Chris (and others) will lead a talk and discussion about GitHub. Generally, Chris will give an overview of GitHub and facilitate a discussion about why the HCIL might want to adopt GitHub in some way, perhaps by making an &amp;quot;Organization&amp;quot; entity under which projects can be created and students, faculty, and others in the HCIL can check in their code.&lt;br /&gt;

From Digital Footprints to Social Insights&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The pervasiveness of cell phones, mobile applications and social media is generating vast amounts of information that can reveal a wide range of human behavior. From mobility patterns to social connections, these signals expose insights about how humans behave and interact with their environment. While a lot of work has focused on analyzing behaviors, relatively little effort has been dedicated to understanding ways in which such findings could be useful to decision makers in areas like smart cities or public health. In this talk I will discuss two projects: (1) AlertImpact, an agent-based framework that uses geo-referenced cell phone data to model the impact of the preventive actions implemented by the Mexican government during the H1N1 flu outbreak and (2) TweetLand, a method to automatically identify urban land uses and landmarks (point of interest) using tweeting patterns.&lt;br /&gt;

Bridging ICT4D lessons from the NGO sector towards academia ([https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2618031/Alex%20Pompe%20UMD%20Presentation.pptx Slides])&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract: ICT4D professionals in both the academic and NGO areas stand to benefit from greater collaboration, awareness, and transparency of experiences. However, often at conferences both groups are frustrated due to a lack of common understanding and misconceptions. This talk will present a number of case studies from IREX&#039;s ICT work in a variety of regions focused on providing open discussion and discourse so that lessons from all development practitioners can be lent towards improving processes on both sides of the table. The talk will also include discussion of internships and job skills in the ICT4D sector from an NGO employer&#039;s perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; As a Senior Technical Advisor at IREX, Alex Pompe is a lead member of the Center for Collaborative Technology managing the NGO&#039;s ICT4D consulting portfolio. Clients come for a range of countries such as Sri Lanka, Malaysia, India, Nepal, Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, and Bhutan. This work focuses on public access to information barriers and community assessment methodologies. He oversees the Libraries for Development program in Namibia, the Tech Age Teachers program in Tunisia, and the New Education Technology program in Kazakhstan. He splits time between the IREX DC and Namibia offices.&lt;br /&gt;
Alex holds a BS in physics from the University of Illinois, and an MSI from the University of Michigan School of Information. He focused on information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D).&lt;br /&gt;

The goal of this session is to provide several students at various points in their academic programs&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
, but especially new students, with a chance to talk about (1) their interests, (2) the projects to which they&#039;ve contributed, and (3) those they&#039;d like to do. Our hope is that this will allow new students to introduce themselves and convey their interests in a way that helps them find others with shared interests and form working relationships on projects with professors and other students. Students will have 5–8 minutes to introduce themselves and their interests, their previous and current projects, skills and expertise, and their future interests in HCI and the HCIL. Hopefully, this will help new students connect with professors and other students with whom they share interests and can work together on research projects. Following talks will be about 10 minutes for discussion with the presenting students (perhaps for asking them to join a project team).&lt;br /&gt;

Everybody’s internet? :Designing for mobile-centric internet users in the developing world &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Within 5 years, wireless broadband services will cover 85% of the world’s population, &lt;br /&gt;
and data-enabled mobile (cellular) devices will outnumber personal computers and &lt;br /&gt;
tablets. This talk, taken from a book in preparation, details the growing importance &lt;br /&gt;
of ‘mobile-centric internet use’ in the developing world, raising questions and &lt;br /&gt;
challenges for design.&lt;br /&gt;
A breathlessly optimistic narrative has proclaimed the mobile phone the device &lt;br /&gt;
which will finally close the ‘digital divide’, but the digital world does not run &lt;br /&gt;
exclusively on mobile handsets. To guide policy and technical investments in &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development— I argue that it is better to reframe and view the &lt;br /&gt;
mobile handset as one piece of a person’s digital repertoire, which also might include &lt;br /&gt;
PCs, telecentres, TVs, tablets, and other devices. &lt;br /&gt;
In the talk and in the book I revisit some of my previous studies in three domains of &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development: microenterprises and livelihoods, citizen journalism, &lt;br /&gt;
and secondary education. Across each, I celebrate the transformational potential of &lt;br /&gt;
the mobile phone. Yet, in each case, I use the “digital repertoires” lens to raise &lt;br /&gt;
concerns, identifying how the capacity to generate, produce, and curate information &lt;br /&gt;
may remain concentrated among those with better resources to secure digital tools,&lt;br /&gt;
and the skills and incentives to use them. The person with $30 basic data-enabled &lt;br /&gt;
phone and the person with a smartphone and a state-of-the-art $1000 desktop &lt;br /&gt;
computer both can connect to the internet; however, it is not the same internet.&lt;br /&gt;
Yet these persistent digital stratifications can be reduced if technologists, &lt;br /&gt;
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers work to ensure that constrained digital &lt;br /&gt;
repertoires enable not only coordination and consumption (which phones already do &lt;br /&gt;
well), but also contribution (which they do less well). From natural user interfaces to &lt;br /&gt;
language support to bandwidth pricing, there are concrete ways in which more &lt;br /&gt;
empathetic design and policy can help a greater proportion of the world’s &lt;br /&gt;
inhabitants be more productive with their ICTs. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research India seeks to address the needs and aspirations of people in the world&#039;s developing communities. Our research targets people who are just beginning to use computing technologies and services as well as those for whom access to computing still remains largely out of reach. Most of our work falls under the rubric of the relatively young field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD or ICT4D). By combining a variety of backgrounds and training, we are able to engage deeply with some of the complex problems associated with poverty and scarce resources. Our goal is to study, design, build, and evaluate technologies and systems that are useful for people living in underserved rural and urban communities around the world. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the recent work in the group, focusing on projects that explore modalities and interactions specifically designed for the unique contexts and users we’re working with:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1) VideoKheti: A prototype multimodal system to help low-literate farmers search for agricultural extension videos on smart phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2) IVR Junction: A platform for building scalable and distributed voice forums for users with low-end phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3) Massively Empowered Classrooms (MEC): A project to explore how innovations in MOOCs and blended learning can be applied to second-tier, large-scale engineering education in India.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4) Maybe something else, depending on the interests of the audience&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;width:800px&amp;quot;&amp;gt; HCI and Networking - Taming the Internet One Bit at a Time&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As we become more dependent on high speed Internet, we increasingly have to deal with making sure our devices are connected properly, that we&#039;re getting the speeds we need, and that we&#039;re making efficient use of our data. Yet often, Internet connections break or do not work as planned, causing us endless headaches. We also have to juggle constraints such as slow speeds, limited bandwidth, and high data costs depending on our location and use. My research focuses on helping users manage Internet connectivity in their homes, the workplace, and on the go, particularly under constraints of low resources and high costs. In this talk, I&#039;ll go over how I use HCI and networking to reach the goal of taming the Internet for everyday users and talk about future directions.&lt;br /&gt;

Tracking the Body in Healthcare&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; New gesture and movement tracking technologies are offering rich possibilities for our everyday computing experiences. More than simply intuitive and non-intrusive forms of interaction these technologies can provide ways to transform behavioral practices in particular contexts. Within these contexts, there are important challenges in how we take the opportunities provided by body/movement sensing systems and design them in ways that are attuned to the demands and circumstances of a particular setting. In this talk I will explore these issues in the context of the particular setting of healthcare. I will present prior work on a Kinect-based system that uses gesture and voice recognition capabilities to enable clinicians to interact with images during surgery without compromising sterility as well as new work on sensing a Parkinson&#039;s patient&#039;s movement ability for clinical decision-making and patient empowerment.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For better and worse, technology has changed how we connect with one another, potentially excluding those who have not kept up with changing social norms. To provide one common example: grandparents who have not adopted Facebook often find themselves excluded from family photo sharing practices. In this talk, Karyn will informally discuss recent projects targeted at drawing marginalized individuals into online social forums, with a focus on bridging diverse preferences and accommodating competing needs.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Karyn Moffatt is an assistant professor in the School of Information Studies at McGill University. Currently, her work focuses on designing tools that are sensitive to the social context in which they will be used and that seek to leverage and support those relationships. Prior to joining McGill University, Karyn was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Toronto supported by awards from NSERC and CIHR’s Health Care, Technology, and Place strategic initiative. She received her doctorate in computer science from the University of British Columbia in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;

The Talk Talk&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;So you have to give a talk, now what? Well, it&#039;s probably too late to run, and nobody likes a hider, so your best bet is to just suck it up, and start prepping your talk. But how? What should you do first? What are you even trying to accomplish here? Prepping a talk is not only a daunting prospect, but it&#039;s really easy to get lost in the details and lose sight of the big picture. In this brown bag, I&#039;ll be laying out that big picture, and providing a step-by-step roadmap of how to get there. The goal is to give rookie talk-givers a better sense of direction as they navigate the shadowy abyss of prepping a talk. I&#039;m also hoping that some of the more experienced talk-givers can chime in with some of their best tips and tricks for building a slammin&#039; talk.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Megan Monroe is a fifth year PhD student in the Computer Science Department who feels super awkward writing about herself in the third person. That being said, she has given a lot of talks, and is loosely presumed to proficient in this area.&lt;br /&gt;

Privacy Management in the Digital Age&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While regularly used for interpersonal communication, relationship maintenance, and information sharing, newer communication technologies such as Facebook and Twitter have also created significant tension between individuals’ desire to maintain privacy and to be engaged participants in online communities. Problems arise due to the increasing diversity of users on these sites, a lack of privacy management knowledge and/or skills, and the often-changing privacy standards of the sites themselves. Rather than proactively engaging this complexity, many users employ reactive privacy management strategies—until something bad happens to me, I won’t worry about the information I’m sharing.&lt;br /&gt;
Understanding how people conceptualize privacy and how that conceptualization influences behavior is increasingly important in today’s networked world, as individuals—and information—are now connected in more ways than ever before. The affordances of social media distinguish them from other communication channels, both on- and offline, with content being easier to search and archive, while people and content are more highly linked within systems. Thus, the consequences of employing more reactive strategies are far-reaching, with potential impacts on personal relationships, financials, work, and beyond. In this talk, I’ll highlight some of my recent findings on this topic as well as overview my expected research trajectory for the next few years in this very active space. &lt;br /&gt;

Talk and discussion about GitHub and why the HCIL may want to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In this talk, Chris (and others) will lead a talk and discussion about GitHub. Generally, Chris will give an overview of GitHub and facilitate a discussion about why the HCIL might want to adopt GitHub in some way, perhaps by making an &amp;quot;Organization&amp;quot; entity under which projects can be created and students, faculty, and others in the HCIL can check in their code.&lt;br /&gt;

From Digital Footprints to Social Insights&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The pervasiveness of cell phones, mobile applications and social media is generating vast amounts of information that can reveal a wide range of human behavior. From mobility patterns to social connections, these signals expose insights about how humans behave and interact with their environment. While a lot of work has focused on analyzing behaviors, relatively little effort has been dedicated to understanding ways in which such findings could be useful to decision makers in areas like smart cities or public health. In this talk I will discuss two projects: (1) AlertImpact, an agent-based framework that uses geo-referenced cell phone data to model the impact of the preventive actions implemented by the Mexican government during the H1N1 flu outbreak and (2) TweetLand, a method to automatically identify urban land uses and landmarks (point of interest) using tweeting patterns.&lt;br /&gt;

Bridging ICT4D lessons from the NGO sector towards academia ([https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2618031/Alex%20Pompe%20UMD%20Presentation.pptx Slides])&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract: ICT4D professionals in both the academic and NGO areas stand to benefit from greater collaboration, awareness, and transparency of experiences. However, often at conferences both groups are frustrated due to a lack of common understanding and misconceptions. This talk will present a number of case studies from IREX&#039;s ICT work in a variety of regions focused on providing open discussion and discourse so that lessons from all development practitioners can be lent towards improving processes on both sides of the table. The talk will also include discussion of internships and job skills in the ICT4D sector from an NGO employer&#039;s perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; As a Senior Technical Advisor at IREX, Alex Pompe is a lead member of the Center for Collaborative Technology managing the NGO&#039;s ICT4D consulting portfolio. Clients come for a range of countries such as Sri Lanka, Malaysia, India, Nepal, Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, and Bhutan. This work focuses on public access to information barriers and community assessment methodologies. He oversees the Libraries for Development program in Namibia, the Tech Age Teachers program in Tunisia, and the New Education Technology program in Kazakhstan. He splits time between the IREX DC and Namibia offices.&lt;br /&gt;
Alex holds a BS in physics from the University of Illinois, and an MSI from the University of Michigan School of Information. He focused on information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D).&lt;br /&gt;

The goal of this session is to provide several students at various points in their academic programs&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
, but especially new students, with a chance to talk about (1) their interests, (2) the projects to which they&#039;ve contributed, and (3) those they&#039;d like to do. Our hope is that this will allow new students to introduce themselves and convey their interests in a way that helps them find others with shared interests and form working relationships on projects with professors and other students. Students will have 5–8 minutes to introduce themselves and their interests, their previous and current projects, skills and expertise, and their future interests in HCI and the HCIL. Hopefully, this will help new students connect with professors and other students with whom they share interests and can work together on research projects. Following talks will be about 10 minutes for discussion with the presenting students (perhaps for asking them to join a project team).&lt;br /&gt;

Everybody’s internet? :Designing for mobile-centric internet users in the developing world &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Within 5 years, wireless broadband services will cover 85% of the world’s population, &lt;br /&gt;
and data-enabled mobile (cellular) devices will outnumber personal computers and &lt;br /&gt;
tablets. This talk, taken from a book in preparation, details the growing importance &lt;br /&gt;
of ‘mobile-centric internet use’ in the developing world, raising questions and &lt;br /&gt;
challenges for design.&lt;br /&gt;
A breathlessly optimistic narrative has proclaimed the mobile phone the device &lt;br /&gt;
which will finally close the ‘digital divide’, but the digital world does not run &lt;br /&gt;
exclusively on mobile handsets. To guide policy and technical investments in &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development— I argue that it is better to reframe and view the &lt;br /&gt;
mobile handset as one piece of a person’s digital repertoire, which also might include &lt;br /&gt;
PCs, telecentres, TVs, tablets, and other devices. &lt;br /&gt;
In the talk and in the book I revisit some of my previous studies in three domains of &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development: microenterprises and livelihoods, citizen journalism, &lt;br /&gt;
and secondary education. Across each, I celebrate the transformational potential of &lt;br /&gt;
the mobile phone. Yet, in each case, I use the “digital repertoires” lens to raise &lt;br /&gt;
concerns, identifying how the capacity to generate, produce, and curate information &lt;br /&gt;
may remain concentrated among those with better resources to secure digital tools,&lt;br /&gt;
and the skills and incentives to use them. The person with $30 basic data-enabled &lt;br /&gt;
phone and the person with a smartphone and a state-of-the-art $1000 desktop &lt;br /&gt;
computer both can connect to the internet; however, it is not the same internet.&lt;br /&gt;
Yet these persistent digital stratifications can be reduced if technologists, &lt;br /&gt;
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers work to ensure that constrained digital &lt;br /&gt;
repertoires enable not only coordination and consumption (which phones already do &lt;br /&gt;
well), but also contribution (which they do less well). From natural user interfaces to &lt;br /&gt;
language support to bandwidth pricing, there are concrete ways in which more &lt;br /&gt;
empathetic design and policy can help a greater proportion of the world’s &lt;br /&gt;
inhabitants be more productive with their ICTs. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research India seeks to address the needs and aspirations of people in the world&#039;s developing communities. Our research targets people who are just beginning to use computing technologies and services as well as those for whom access to computing still remains largely out of reach. Most of our work falls under the rubric of the relatively young field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD or ICT4D). By combining a variety of backgrounds and training, we are able to engage deeply with some of the complex problems associated with poverty and scarce resources. Our goal is to study, design, build, and evaluate technologies and systems that are useful for people living in underserved rural and urban communities around the world. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the recent work in the group, focusing on projects that explore modalities and interactions specifically designed for the unique contexts and users we’re working with:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1) VideoKheti: A prototype multimodal system to help low-literate farmers search for agricultural extension videos on smart phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2) IVR Junction: A platform for building scalable and distributed voice forums for users with low-end phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3) Massively Empowered Classrooms (MEC): A project to explore how innovations in MOOCs and blended learning can be applied to second-tier, large-scale engineering education in India.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4) Maybe something else, depending on the interests of the audience&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As we become more dependent on high speed Internet, we increasingly have to deal with making sure our devices are connected properly, that we&#039;re getting the speeds we need, and that we&#039;re making efficient use of our data. Yet often, Internet connections break or do not work as planned, causing us endless headaches. We also have to juggle constraints such as slow speeds, limited bandwidth, and high data costs depending on our location and use. My research focuses on helping users manage Internet connectivity in their homes, the workplace, and on the go, particularly under constraints of low resources and high costs. In this talk, I&#039;ll go over how I use HCI and networking to reach the goal of taming the Internet for everyday users and talk about future directions.&lt;br /&gt;

Tracking the Body in Healthcare&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; New gesture and movement tracking technologies are offering rich possibilities for our everyday computing experiences. More than simply intuitive and non-intrusive forms of interaction these technologies can provide ways to transform behavioral practices in particular contexts. Within these contexts, there are important challenges in how we take the opportunities provided by body/movement sensing systems and design them in ways that are attuned to the demands and circumstances of a particular setting. In this talk I will explore these issues in the context of the particular setting of healthcare. I will present prior work on a Kinect-based system that uses gesture and voice recognition capabilities to enable clinicians to interact with images during surgery without compromising sterility as well as new work on sensing a Parkinson&#039;s patient&#039;s movement ability for clinical decision-making and patient empowerment.&lt;br /&gt;

Accessible Social Technology &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For better and worse, technology has changed how we connect with one another, potentially excluding those who have not kept up with changing social norms. To provide one common example: grandparents who have not adopted Facebook often find themselves excluded from family photo sharing practices. In this talk, Karyn will informally discuss recent projects targeted at drawing marginalized individuals into online social forums, with a focus on bridging diverse preferences and accommodating competing needs.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Karyn Moffatt is an assistant professor in the School of Information Studies at McGill University. Currently, her work focuses on designing tools that are sensitive to the social context in which they will be used and that seek to leverage and support those relationships. Prior to joining McGill University, Karyn was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Toronto supported by awards from NSERC and CIHR’s Health Care, Technology, and Place strategic initiative. She received her doctorate in computer science from the University of British Columbia in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;

The Talk Talk&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;So you have to give a talk, now what? Well, it&#039;s probably too late to run, and nobody likes a hider, so your best bet is to just suck it up, and start prepping your talk. But how? What should you do first? What are you even trying to accomplish here? Prepping a talk is not only a daunting prospect, but it&#039;s really easy to get lost in the details and lose sight of the big picture. In this brown bag, I&#039;ll be laying out that big picture, and providing a step-by-step roadmap of how to get there. The goal is to give rookie talk-givers a better sense of direction as they navigate the shadowy abyss of prepping a talk. I&#039;m also hoping that some of the more experienced talk-givers can chime in with some of their best tips and tricks for building a slammin&#039; talk.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Megan Monroe is a fifth year PhD student in the Computer Science Department who feels super awkward writing about herself in the third person. That being said, she has given a lot of talks, and is loosely presumed to proficient in this area.&lt;br /&gt;

Privacy Management in the Digital Age&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While regularly used for interpersonal communication, relationship maintenance, and information sharing, newer communication technologies such as Facebook and Twitter have also created significant tension between individuals’ desire to maintain privacy and to be engaged participants in online communities. Problems arise due to the increasing diversity of users on these sites, a lack of privacy management knowledge and/or skills, and the often-changing privacy standards of the sites themselves. Rather than proactively engaging this complexity, many users employ reactive privacy management strategies—until something bad happens to me, I won’t worry about the information I’m sharing.&lt;br /&gt;
Understanding how people conceptualize privacy and how that conceptualization influences behavior is increasingly important in today’s networked world, as individuals—and information—are now connected in more ways than ever before. The affordances of social media distinguish them from other communication channels, both on- and offline, with content being easier to search and archive, while people and content are more highly linked within systems. Thus, the consequences of employing more reactive strategies are far-reaching, with potential impacts on personal relationships, financials, work, and beyond. In this talk, I’ll highlight some of my recent findings on this topic as well as overview my expected research trajectory for the next few years in this very active space. &lt;br /&gt;

Talk and discussion about GitHub and why the HCIL may want to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In this talk, Chris (and others) will lead a talk and discussion about GitHub. Generally, Chris will give an overview of GitHub and facilitate a discussion about why the HCIL might want to adopt GitHub in some way, perhaps by making an &amp;quot;Organization&amp;quot; entity under which projects can be created and students, faculty, and others in the HCIL can check in their code.&lt;br /&gt;

From Digital Footprints to Social Insights&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The pervasiveness of cell phones, mobile applications and social media is generating vast amounts of information that can reveal a wide range of human behavior. From mobility patterns to social connections, these signals expose insights about how humans behave and interact with their environment. While a lot of work has focused on analyzing behaviors, relatively little effort has been dedicated to understanding ways in which such findings could be useful to decision makers in areas like smart cities or public health. In this talk I will discuss two projects: (1) AlertImpact, an agent-based framework that uses geo-referenced cell phone data to model the impact of the preventive actions implemented by the Mexican government during the H1N1 flu outbreak and (2) TweetLand, a method to automatically identify urban land uses and landmarks (point of interest) using tweeting patterns.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract: ICT4D professionals in both the academic and NGO areas stand to benefit from greater collaboration, awareness, and transparency of experiences. However, often at conferences both groups are frustrated due to a lack of common understanding and misconceptions. This talk will present a number of case studies from IREX&#039;s ICT work in a variety of regions focused on providing open discussion and discourse so that lessons from all development practitioners can be lent towards improving processes on both sides of the table. The talk will also include discussion of internships and job skills in the ICT4D sector from an NGO employer&#039;s perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; As a Senior Technical Advisor at IREX, Alex Pompe is a lead member of the Center for Collaborative Technology managing the NGO&#039;s ICT4D consulting portfolio. Clients come for a range of countries such as Sri Lanka, Malaysia, India, Nepal, Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, and Bhutan. This work focuses on public access to information barriers and community assessment methodologies. He oversees the Libraries for Development program in Namibia, the Tech Age Teachers program in Tunisia, and the New Education Technology program in Kazakhstan. He splits time between the IREX DC and Namibia offices.&lt;br /&gt;

The goal of this session is to provide several students at various points in their academic programs&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
, but especially new students, with a chance to talk about (1) their interests, (2) the projects to which they&#039;ve contributed, and (3) those they&#039;d like to do. Our hope is that this will allow new students to introduce themselves and convey their interests in a way that helps them find others with shared interests and form working relationships on projects with professors and other students. Students will have 5–8 minutes to introduce themselves and their interests, their previous and current projects, skills and expertise, and their future interests in HCI and the HCIL. Hopefully, this will help new students connect with professors and other students with whom they share interests and can work together on research projects. Following talks will be about 10 minutes for discussion with the presenting students (perhaps for asking them to join a project team).&lt;br /&gt;

Everybody’s internet? :Designing for mobile-centric internet users in the developing world &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Within 5 years, wireless broadband services will cover 85% of the world’s population, &lt;br /&gt;
and data-enabled mobile (cellular) devices will outnumber personal computers and &lt;br /&gt;
tablets. This talk, taken from a book in preparation, details the growing importance &lt;br /&gt;
of ‘mobile-centric internet use’ in the developing world, raising questions and &lt;br /&gt;
challenges for design.&lt;br /&gt;
A breathlessly optimistic narrative has proclaimed the mobile phone the device &lt;br /&gt;
which will finally close the ‘digital divide’, but the digital world does not run &lt;br /&gt;
exclusively on mobile handsets. To guide policy and technical investments in &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development— I argue that it is better to reframe and view the &lt;br /&gt;
mobile handset as one piece of a person’s digital repertoire, which also might include &lt;br /&gt;
PCs, telecentres, TVs, tablets, and other devices. &lt;br /&gt;
In the talk and in the book I revisit some of my previous studies in three domains of &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development: microenterprises and livelihoods, citizen journalism, &lt;br /&gt;
and secondary education. Across each, I celebrate the transformational potential of &lt;br /&gt;
the mobile phone. Yet, in each case, I use the “digital repertoires” lens to raise &lt;br /&gt;
concerns, identifying how the capacity to generate, produce, and curate information &lt;br /&gt;
may remain concentrated among those with better resources to secure digital tools,&lt;br /&gt;
and the skills and incentives to use them. The person with $30 basic data-enabled &lt;br /&gt;
phone and the person with a smartphone and a state-of-the-art $1000 desktop &lt;br /&gt;
computer both can connect to the internet; however, it is not the same internet.&lt;br /&gt;
Yet these persistent digital stratifications can be reduced if technologists, &lt;br /&gt;
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers work to ensure that constrained digital &lt;br /&gt;
repertoires enable not only coordination and consumption (which phones already do &lt;br /&gt;
well), but also contribution (which they do less well). From natural user interfaces to &lt;br /&gt;
language support to bandwidth pricing, there are concrete ways in which more &lt;br /&gt;
empathetic design and policy can help a greater proportion of the world’s &lt;br /&gt;
inhabitants be more productive with their ICTs. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research India seeks to address the needs and aspirations of people in the world&#039;s developing communities. Our research targets people who are just beginning to use computing technologies and services as well as those for whom access to computing still remains largely out of reach. Most of our work falls under the rubric of the relatively young field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD or ICT4D). By combining a variety of backgrounds and training, we are able to engage deeply with some of the complex problems associated with poverty and scarce resources. Our goal is to study, design, build, and evaluate technologies and systems that are useful for people living in underserved rural and urban communities around the world. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the recent work in the group, focusing on projects that explore modalities and interactions specifically designed for the unique contexts and users we’re working with:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1) VideoKheti: A prototype multimodal system to help low-literate farmers search for agricultural extension videos on smart phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2) IVR Junction: A platform for building scalable and distributed voice forums for users with low-end phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3) Massively Empowered Classrooms (MEC): A project to explore how innovations in MOOCs and blended learning can be applied to second-tier, large-scale engineering education in India.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4) Maybe something else, depending on the interests of the audience&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bio: &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;width:800px&amp;quot;&amp;gt; HCI and Networking - Taming the Internet One Bit at a Time&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As we become more dependent on high speed Internet, we increasingly have to deal with making sure our devices are connected properly, that we&#039;re getting the speeds we need, and that we&#039;re making efficient use of our data. Yet often, Internet connections break or do not work as planned, causing us endless headaches. We also have to juggle constraints such as slow speeds, limited bandwidth, and high data costs depending on our location and use. My research focuses on helping users manage Internet connectivity in their homes, the workplace, and on the go, particularly under constraints of low resources and high costs. In this talk, I&#039;ll go over how I use HCI and networking to reach the goal of taming the Internet for everyday users and talk about future directions.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The HCIL has an open semi-organized weekly &amp;quot;brown bag lunch (BBL)&amp;quot; on every &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;Thursdays from 12:30-1:30pm in HCIL (2105 Hornbake, South Wing)&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.  The topics range from someone&#039;s work, current interest to the HCIL, a software demo/review, a study design, a proposed research topic, an introduction to a new person, etc.   The BBL is the one hour a week where we all come together--thus, it’s a unique time for HCIL members with unique opportunities to help build collaborations, increase awareness of each other’s activities, and generally just have a bit of fun together with &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;free food every week&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Tracking the Body in Healthcare&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; New gesture and movement tracking technologies are offering rich possibilities for our everyday computing experiences. More than simply intuitive and non-intrusive forms of interaction these technologies can provide ways to transform behavioral practices in particular contexts. Within these contexts, there are important challenges in how we take the opportunities provided by body/movement sensing systems and design them in ways that are attuned to the demands and circumstances of a particular setting. In this talk I will explore these issues in the context of the particular setting of healthcare. I will present prior work on a Kinect-based system that uses gesture and voice recognition capabilities to enable clinicians to interact with images during surgery without compromising sterility as well as new work on sensing a Parkinson&#039;s patient&#039;s movement ability for clinical decision-making and patient empowerment.&lt;br /&gt;

Accessible Social Technology &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For better and worse, technology has changed how we connect with one another, potentially excluding those who have not kept up with changing social norms. To provide one common example: grandparents who have not adopted Facebook often find themselves excluded from family photo sharing practices. In this talk, Karyn will informally discuss recent projects targeted at drawing marginalized individuals into online social forums, with a focus on bridging diverse preferences and accommodating competing needs.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Karyn Moffatt is an assistant professor in the School of Information Studies at McGill University. Currently, her work focuses on designing tools that are sensitive to the social context in which they will be used and that seek to leverage and support those relationships. Prior to joining McGill University, Karyn was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Toronto supported by awards from NSERC and CIHR’s Health Care, Technology, and Place strategic initiative. She received her doctorate in computer science from the University of British Columbia in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;

The Talk Talk&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;So you have to give a talk, now what? Well, it&#039;s probably too late to run, and nobody likes a hider, so your best bet is to just suck it up, and start prepping your talk. But how? What should you do first? What are you even trying to accomplish here? Prepping a talk is not only a daunting prospect, but it&#039;s really easy to get lost in the details and lose sight of the big picture. In this brown bag, I&#039;ll be laying out that big picture, and providing a step-by-step roadmap of how to get there. The goal is to give rookie talk-givers a better sense of direction as they navigate the shadowy abyss of prepping a talk. I&#039;m also hoping that some of the more experienced talk-givers can chime in with some of their best tips and tricks for building a slammin&#039; talk.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Megan Monroe is a fifth year PhD student in the Computer Science Department who feels super awkward writing about herself in the third person. That being said, she has given a lot of talks, and is loosely presumed to proficient in this area.&lt;br /&gt;

Privacy Management in the Digital Age&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While regularly used for interpersonal communication, relationship maintenance, and information sharing, newer communication technologies such as Facebook and Twitter have also created significant tension between individuals’ desire to maintain privacy and to be engaged participants in online communities. Problems arise due to the increasing diversity of users on these sites, a lack of privacy management knowledge and/or skills, and the often-changing privacy standards of the sites themselves. Rather than proactively engaging this complexity, many users employ reactive privacy management strategies—until something bad happens to me, I won’t worry about the information I’m sharing.&lt;br /&gt;
Understanding how people conceptualize privacy and how that conceptualization influences behavior is increasingly important in today’s networked world, as individuals—and information—are now connected in more ways than ever before. The affordances of social media distinguish them from other communication channels, both on- and offline, with content being easier to search and archive, while people and content are more highly linked within systems. Thus, the consequences of employing more reactive strategies are far-reaching, with potential impacts on personal relationships, financials, work, and beyond. In this talk, I’ll highlight some of my recent findings on this topic as well as overview my expected research trajectory for the next few years in this very active space. &lt;br /&gt;

Talk and discussion about GitHub and why the HCIL may want to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In this talk, Chris (and others) will lead a talk and discussion about GitHub. Generally, Chris will give an overview of GitHub and facilitate a discussion about why the HCIL might want to adopt GitHub in some way, perhaps by making an &amp;quot;Organization&amp;quot; entity under which projects can be created and students, faculty, and others in the HCIL can check in their code.&lt;br /&gt;

From Digital Footprints to Social Insights&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The pervasiveness of cell phones, mobile applications and social media is generating vast amounts of information that can reveal a wide range of human behavior. From mobility patterns to social connections, these signals expose insights about how humans behave and interact with their environment. While a lot of work has focused on analyzing behaviors, relatively little effort has been dedicated to understanding ways in which such findings could be useful to decision makers in areas like smart cities or public health. In this talk I will discuss two projects: (1) AlertImpact, an agent-based framework that uses geo-referenced cell phone data to model the impact of the preventive actions implemented by the Mexican government during the H1N1 flu outbreak and (2) TweetLand, a method to automatically identify urban land uses and landmarks (point of interest) using tweeting patterns.&lt;br /&gt;

Bridging ICT4D lessons from the NGO sector towards academia ([https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2618031/Alex%20Pompe%20UMD%20Presentation.pptx Slides])&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract: ICT4D professionals in both the academic and NGO areas stand to benefit from greater collaboration, awareness, and transparency of experiences. However, often at conferences both groups are frustrated due to a lack of common understanding and misconceptions. This talk will present a number of case studies from IREX&#039;s ICT work in a variety of regions focused on providing open discussion and discourse so that lessons from all development practitioners can be lent towards improving processes on both sides of the table. The talk will also include discussion of internships and job skills in the ICT4D sector from an NGO employer&#039;s perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; As a Senior Technical Advisor at IREX, Alex Pompe is a lead member of the Center for Collaborative Technology managing the NGO&#039;s ICT4D consulting portfolio. Clients come for a range of countries such as Sri Lanka, Malaysia, India, Nepal, Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, and Bhutan. This work focuses on public access to information barriers and community assessment methodologies. He oversees the Libraries for Development program in Namibia, the Tech Age Teachers program in Tunisia, and the New Education Technology program in Kazakhstan. He splits time between the IREX DC and Namibia offices.&lt;br /&gt;
Alex holds a BS in physics from the University of Illinois, and an MSI from the University of Michigan School of Information. He focused on information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D).&lt;br /&gt;

The goal of this session is to provide several students at various points in their academic programs&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
, but especially new students, with a chance to talk about (1) their interests, (2) the projects to which they&#039;ve contributed, and (3) those they&#039;d like to do. Our hope is that this will allow new students to introduce themselves and convey their interests in a way that helps them find others with shared interests and form working relationships on projects with professors and other students. Students will have 5–8 minutes to introduce themselves and their interests, their previous and current projects, skills and expertise, and their future interests in HCI and the HCIL. Hopefully, this will help new students connect with professors and other students with whom they share interests and can work together on research projects. Following talks will be about 10 minutes for discussion with the presenting students (perhaps for asking them to join a project team).&lt;br /&gt;

Everybody’s internet? :Designing for mobile-centric internet users in the developing world &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Within 5 years, wireless broadband services will cover 85% of the world’s population, &lt;br /&gt;
and data-enabled mobile (cellular) devices will outnumber personal computers and &lt;br /&gt;
tablets. This talk, taken from a book in preparation, details the growing importance &lt;br /&gt;
of ‘mobile-centric internet use’ in the developing world, raising questions and &lt;br /&gt;
challenges for design.&lt;br /&gt;
A breathlessly optimistic narrative has proclaimed the mobile phone the device &lt;br /&gt;
which will finally close the ‘digital divide’, but the digital world does not run &lt;br /&gt;
exclusively on mobile handsets. To guide policy and technical investments in &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development— I argue that it is better to reframe and view the &lt;br /&gt;
mobile handset as one piece of a person’s digital repertoire, which also might include &lt;br /&gt;
PCs, telecentres, TVs, tablets, and other devices. &lt;br /&gt;
In the talk and in the book I revisit some of my previous studies in three domains of &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development: microenterprises and livelihoods, citizen journalism, &lt;br /&gt;
and secondary education. Across each, I celebrate the transformational potential of &lt;br /&gt;
the mobile phone. Yet, in each case, I use the “digital repertoires” lens to raise &lt;br /&gt;
concerns, identifying how the capacity to generate, produce, and curate information &lt;br /&gt;
may remain concentrated among those with better resources to secure digital tools,&lt;br /&gt;
and the skills and incentives to use them. The person with $30 basic data-enabled &lt;br /&gt;
phone and the person with a smartphone and a state-of-the-art $1000 desktop &lt;br /&gt;
computer both can connect to the internet; however, it is not the same internet.&lt;br /&gt;
Yet these persistent digital stratifications can be reduced if technologists, &lt;br /&gt;
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers work to ensure that constrained digital &lt;br /&gt;
repertoires enable not only coordination and consumption (which phones already do &lt;br /&gt;
well), but also contribution (which they do less well). From natural user interfaces to &lt;br /&gt;
language support to bandwidth pricing, there are concrete ways in which more &lt;br /&gt;
empathetic design and policy can help a greater proportion of the world’s &lt;br /&gt;
inhabitants be more productive with their ICTs. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research India seeks to address the needs and aspirations of people in the world&#039;s developing communities. Our research targets people who are just beginning to use computing technologies and services as well as those for whom access to computing still remains largely out of reach. Most of our work falls under the rubric of the relatively young field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD or ICT4D). By combining a variety of backgrounds and training, we are able to engage deeply with some of the complex problems associated with poverty and scarce resources. Our goal is to study, design, build, and evaluate technologies and systems that are useful for people living in underserved rural and urban communities around the world. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the recent work in the group, focusing on projects that explore modalities and interactions specifically designed for the unique contexts and users we’re working with:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1) VideoKheti: A prototype multimodal system to help low-literate farmers search for agricultural extension videos on smart phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2) IVR Junction: A platform for building scalable and distributed voice forums for users with low-end phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3) Massively Empowered Classrooms (MEC): A project to explore how innovations in MOOCs and blended learning can be applied to second-tier, large-scale engineering education in India.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4) Maybe something else, depending on the interests of the audience&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As we become more dependent on high speed Internet, we increasingly have to deal with making sure our devices are connected properly, that we&#039;re getting the speeds we need, and that we&#039;re making efficient use of our data. Yet often, Internet connections break or do not work as planned, causing us endless headaches. We also have to juggle constraints such as slow speeds, limited bandwidth, and high data costs depending on our location and use. My research focuses on helping users manage Internet connectivity in their homes, the workplace, and on the go, particularly under constraints of low resources and high costs. In this talk, I&#039;ll go over how I use HCI and networking to reach the goal of taming the Internet for everyday users and talk about future directions.&lt;br /&gt;

Tracking the Body in Healthcare&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; New gesture and movement tracking technologies are offering rich possibilities for our everyday computing experiences. More than simply intuitive and non-intrusive forms of interaction these technologies can provide ways to transform behavioral practices in particular contexts. Within these contexts, there are important challenges in how we take the opportunities provided by body/movement sensing systems and design them in ways that are attuned to the demands and circumstances of a particular setting. In this talk I will explore these issues in the context of the particular setting of healthcare. I will present prior work on a Kinect-based system that uses gesture and voice recognition capabilities to enable clinicians to interact with images during surgery without compromising sterility as well as new work on sensing a Parkinson&#039;s patient&#039;s movement ability for clinical decision-making and patient empowerment.&lt;br /&gt;

Accessible Social Technology &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For better and worse, technology has changed how we connect with one another, potentially excluding those who have not kept up with changing social norms. To provide one common example: grandparents who have not adopted Facebook often find themselves excluded from family photo sharing practices. In this talk, Karyn will informally discuss recent projects targeted at drawing marginalized individuals into online social forums, with a focus on bridging diverse preferences and accommodating competing needs.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Karyn Moffatt is an assistant professor in the School of Information Studies at McGill University. Currently, her work focuses on designing tools that are sensitive to the social context in which they will be used and that seek to leverage and support those relationships. Prior to joining McGill University, Karyn was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Toronto supported by awards from NSERC and CIHR’s Health Care, Technology, and Place strategic initiative. She received her doctorate in computer science from the University of British Columbia in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;

The Talk Talk&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;So you have to give a talk, now what? Well, it&#039;s probably too late to run, and nobody likes a hider, so your best bet is to just suck it up, and start prepping your talk. But how? What should you do first? What are you even trying to accomplish here? Prepping a talk is not only a daunting prospect, but it&#039;s really easy to get lost in the details and lose sight of the big picture. In this brown bag, I&#039;ll be laying out that big picture, and providing a step-by-step roadmap of how to get there. The goal is to give rookie talk-givers a better sense of direction as they navigate the shadowy abyss of prepping a talk. I&#039;m also hoping that some of the more experienced talk-givers can chime in with some of their best tips and tricks for building a slammin&#039; talk.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Megan Monroe is a fifth year PhD student in the Computer Science Department who feels super awkward writing about herself in the third person. That being said, she has given a lot of talks, and is loosely presumed to proficient in this area.&lt;br /&gt;

Privacy Management in the Digital Age&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While regularly used for interpersonal communication, relationship maintenance, and information sharing, newer communication technologies such as Facebook and Twitter have also created significant tension between individuals’ desire to maintain privacy and to be engaged participants in online communities. Problems arise due to the increasing diversity of users on these sites, a lack of privacy management knowledge and/or skills, and the often-changing privacy standards of the sites themselves. Rather than proactively engaging this complexity, many users employ reactive privacy management strategies—until something bad happens to me, I won’t worry about the information I’m sharing.&lt;br /&gt;
Understanding how people conceptualize privacy and how that conceptualization influences behavior is increasingly important in today’s networked world, as individuals—and information—are now connected in more ways than ever before. The affordances of social media distinguish them from other communication channels, both on- and offline, with content being easier to search and archive, while people and content are more highly linked within systems. Thus, the consequences of employing more reactive strategies are far-reaching, with potential impacts on personal relationships, financials, work, and beyond. In this talk, I’ll highlight some of my recent findings on this topic as well as overview my expected research trajectory for the next few years in this very active space. &lt;br /&gt;

In this talk, Chris (and others) will lead a talk and discussion about GitHub. Generally, Chris will give an overview of GitHub and facilitate a discussion about why the HCIL might want to adopt GitHub in some way, perhaps by making an &amp;quot;Organization&amp;quot; entity under which projects can be created and students, faculty, and others in the HCIL can check in their code.&lt;br /&gt;

From Digital Footprints to Social Insights&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The pervasiveness of cell phones, mobile applications and social media is generating vast amounts of information that can reveal a wide range of human behavior. From mobility patterns to social connections, these signals expose insights about how humans behave and interact with their environment. While a lot of work has focused on analyzing behaviors, relatively little effort has been dedicated to understanding ways in which such findings could be useful to decision makers in areas like smart cities or public health. In this talk I will discuss two projects: (1) AlertImpact, an agent-based framework that uses geo-referenced cell phone data to model the impact of the preventive actions implemented by the Mexican government during the H1N1 flu outbreak and (2) TweetLand, a method to automatically identify urban land uses and landmarks (point of interest) using tweeting patterns.&lt;br /&gt;

Bridging ICT4D lessons from the NGO sector towards academia ([https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2618031/Alex%20Pompe%20UMD%20Presentation.pptx Slides])&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract: ICT4D professionals in both the academic and NGO areas stand to benefit from greater collaboration, awareness, and transparency of experiences. However, often at conferences both groups are frustrated due to a lack of common understanding and misconceptions. This talk will present a number of case studies from IREX&#039;s ICT work in a variety of regions focused on providing open discussion and discourse so that lessons from all development practitioners can be lent towards improving processes on both sides of the table. The talk will also include discussion of internships and job skills in the ICT4D sector from an NGO employer&#039;s perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; As a Senior Technical Advisor at IREX, Alex Pompe is a lead member of the Center for Collaborative Technology managing the NGO&#039;s ICT4D consulting portfolio. Clients come for a range of countries such as Sri Lanka, Malaysia, India, Nepal, Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, and Bhutan. This work focuses on public access to information barriers and community assessment methodologies. He oversees the Libraries for Development program in Namibia, the Tech Age Teachers program in Tunisia, and the New Education Technology program in Kazakhstan. He splits time between the IREX DC and Namibia offices.&lt;br /&gt;
Alex holds a BS in physics from the University of Illinois, and an MSI from the University of Michigan School of Information. He focused on information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D).&lt;br /&gt;

The goal of this session is to provide several students at various points in their academic programs&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
, but especially new students, with a chance to talk about (1) their interests, (2) the projects to which they&#039;ve contributed, and (3) those they&#039;d like to do. Our hope is that this will allow new students to introduce themselves and convey their interests in a way that helps them find others with shared interests and form working relationships on projects with professors and other students. Students will have 5–8 minutes to introduce themselves and their interests, their previous and current projects, skills and expertise, and their future interests in HCI and the HCIL. Hopefully, this will help new students connect with professors and other students with whom they share interests and can work together on research projects. Following talks will be about 10 minutes for discussion with the presenting students (perhaps for asking them to join a project team).&lt;br /&gt;

Everybody’s internet? :Designing for mobile-centric internet users in the developing world &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Within 5 years, wireless broadband services will cover 85% of the world’s population, &lt;br /&gt;
and data-enabled mobile (cellular) devices will outnumber personal computers and &lt;br /&gt;
tablets. This talk, taken from a book in preparation, details the growing importance &lt;br /&gt;
of ‘mobile-centric internet use’ in the developing world, raising questions and &lt;br /&gt;
challenges for design.&lt;br /&gt;
A breathlessly optimistic narrative has proclaimed the mobile phone the device &lt;br /&gt;
which will finally close the ‘digital divide’, but the digital world does not run &lt;br /&gt;
exclusively on mobile handsets. To guide policy and technical investments in &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development— I argue that it is better to reframe and view the &lt;br /&gt;
mobile handset as one piece of a person’s digital repertoire, which also might include &lt;br /&gt;
PCs, telecentres, TVs, tablets, and other devices. &lt;br /&gt;
In the talk and in the book I revisit some of my previous studies in three domains of &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development: microenterprises and livelihoods, citizen journalism, &lt;br /&gt;
and secondary education. Across each, I celebrate the transformational potential of &lt;br /&gt;
the mobile phone. Yet, in each case, I use the “digital repertoires” lens to raise &lt;br /&gt;
concerns, identifying how the capacity to generate, produce, and curate information &lt;br /&gt;
may remain concentrated among those with better resources to secure digital tools,&lt;br /&gt;
and the skills and incentives to use them. The person with $30 basic data-enabled &lt;br /&gt;
phone and the person with a smartphone and a state-of-the-art $1000 desktop &lt;br /&gt;
computer both can connect to the internet; however, it is not the same internet.&lt;br /&gt;
Yet these persistent digital stratifications can be reduced if technologists, &lt;br /&gt;
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers work to ensure that constrained digital &lt;br /&gt;
repertoires enable not only coordination and consumption (which phones already do &lt;br /&gt;
well), but also contribution (which they do less well). From natural user interfaces to &lt;br /&gt;
language support to bandwidth pricing, there are concrete ways in which more &lt;br /&gt;
empathetic design and policy can help a greater proportion of the world’s &lt;br /&gt;
inhabitants be more productive with their ICTs. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research India seeks to address the needs and aspirations of people in the world&#039;s developing communities. Our research targets people who are just beginning to use computing technologies and services as well as those for whom access to computing still remains largely out of reach. Most of our work falls under the rubric of the relatively young field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD or ICT4D). By combining a variety of backgrounds and training, we are able to engage deeply with some of the complex problems associated with poverty and scarce resources. Our goal is to study, design, build, and evaluate technologies and systems that are useful for people living in underserved rural and urban communities around the world. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the recent work in the group, focusing on projects that explore modalities and interactions specifically designed for the unique contexts and users we’re working with:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1) VideoKheti: A prototype multimodal system to help low-literate farmers search for agricultural extension videos on smart phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2) IVR Junction: A platform for building scalable and distributed voice forums for users with low-end phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3) Massively Empowered Classrooms (MEC): A project to explore how innovations in MOOCs and blended learning can be applied to second-tier, large-scale engineering education in India.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4) Maybe something else, depending on the interests of the audience&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As we become more dependent on high speed Internet, we increasingly have to deal with making sure our devices are connected properly, that we&#039;re getting the speeds we need, and that we&#039;re making efficient use of our data. Yet often, Internet connections break or do not work as planned, causing us endless headaches. We also have to juggle constraints such as slow speeds, limited bandwidth, and high data costs depending on our location and use. My research focuses on helping users manage Internet connectivity in their homes, the workplace, and on the go, particularly under constraints of low resources and high costs. In this talk, I&#039;ll go over how I use HCI and networking to reach the goal of taming the Internet for everyday users and talk about future directions.&lt;br /&gt;

Tracking the Body in Healthcare&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; New gesture and movement tracking technologies are offering rich possibilities for our everyday computing experiences. More than simply intuitive and non-intrusive forms of interaction these technologies can provide ways to transform behavioral practices in particular contexts. Within these contexts, there are important challenges in how we take the opportunities provided by body/movement sensing systems and design them in ways that are attuned to the demands and circumstances of a particular setting. In this talk I will explore these issues in the context of the particular setting of healthcare. I will present prior work on a Kinect-based system that uses gesture and voice recognition capabilities to enable clinicians to interact with images during surgery without compromising sterility as well as new work on sensing a Parkinson&#039;s patient&#039;s movement ability for clinical decision-making and patient empowerment.&lt;br /&gt;

Accessible Social Technology &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For better and worse, technology has changed how we connect with one another, potentially excluding those who have not kept up with changing social norms. To provide one common example: grandparents who have not adopted Facebook often find themselves excluded from family photo sharing practices. In this talk, Karyn will informally discuss recent projects targeted at drawing marginalized individuals into online social forums, with a focus on bridging diverse preferences and accommodating competing needs.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Karyn Moffatt is an assistant professor in the School of Information Studies at McGill University. Currently, her work focuses on designing tools that are sensitive to the social context in which they will be used and that seek to leverage and support those relationships. Prior to joining McGill University, Karyn was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Toronto supported by awards from NSERC and CIHR’s Health Care, Technology, and Place strategic initiative. She received her doctorate in computer science from the University of British Columbia in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;

The Talk Talk&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;So you have to give a talk, now what? Well, it&#039;s probably too late to run, and nobody likes a hider, so your best bet is to just suck it up, and start prepping your talk. But how? What should you do first? What are you even trying to accomplish here? Prepping a talk is not only a daunting prospect, but it&#039;s really easy to get lost in the details and lose sight of the big picture. In this brown bag, I&#039;ll be laying out that big picture, and providing a step-by-step roadmap of how to get there. The goal is to give rookie talk-givers a better sense of direction as they navigate the shadowy abyss of prepping a talk. I&#039;m also hoping that some of the more experienced talk-givers can chime in with some of their best tips and tricks for building a slammin&#039; talk.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Megan Monroe is a fifth year PhD student in the Computer Science Department who feels super awkward writing about herself in the third person. That being said, she has given a lot of talks, and is loosely presumed to proficient in this area.&lt;br /&gt;

Privacy Management in the Digital Age&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While regularly used for interpersonal communication, relationship maintenance, and information sharing, newer communication technologies such as Facebook and Twitter have also created significant tension between individuals’ desire to maintain privacy and to be engaged participants in online communities. Problems arise due to the increasing diversity of users on these sites, a lack of privacy management knowledge and/or skills, and the often-changing privacy standards of the sites themselves. Rather than proactively engaging this complexity, many users employ reactive privacy management strategies—until something bad happens to me, I won’t worry about the information I’m sharing.&lt;br /&gt;
Understanding how people conceptualize privacy and how that conceptualization influences behavior is increasingly important in today’s networked world, as individuals—and information—are now connected in more ways than ever before. The affordances of social media distinguish them from other communication channels, both on- and offline, with content being easier to search and archive, while people and content are more highly linked within systems. Thus, the consequences of employing more reactive strategies are far-reaching, with potential impacts on personal relationships, financials, work, and beyond. In this talk, I’ll highlight some of my recent findings on this topic as well as overview my expected research trajectory for the next few years in this very active space. &lt;br /&gt;

Talk and discussion about GitHub and why the HCIL may want to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In this talk, Chris (and others) will lead a talk and discussion about GitHub. Generally, Chris will give an overview of GitHub and facilitate a discussion about why the HCIL might want to adopt GitHub in some way, perhaps by making an &amp;quot;Organization&amp;quot; entity under which projects can be created and students, faculty, and others in the HCIL can check in their code.&lt;br /&gt;

From Digital Footprints to Social Insights&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The pervasiveness of cell phones, mobile applications and social media is generating vast amounts of information that can reveal a wide range of human behavior. From mobility patterns to social connections, these signals expose insights about how humans behave and interact with their environment. While a lot of work has focused on analyzing behaviors, relatively little effort has been dedicated to understanding ways in which such findings could be useful to decision makers in areas like smart cities or public health. In this talk I will discuss two projects: (1) AlertImpact, an agent-based framework that uses geo-referenced cell phone data to model the impact of the preventive actions implemented by the Mexican government during the H1N1 flu outbreak and (2) TweetLand, a method to automatically identify urban land uses and landmarks (point of interest) using tweeting patterns.&lt;br /&gt;

Bridging ICT4D lessons from the NGO sector towards academia ([https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2618031/Alex%20Pompe%20UMD%20Presentation.pptx Slides])&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract: ICT4D professionals in both the academic and NGO areas stand to benefit from greater collaboration, awareness, and transparency of experiences. However, often at conferences both groups are frustrated due to a lack of common understanding and misconceptions. This talk will present a number of case studies from IREX&#039;s ICT work in a variety of regions focused on providing open discussion and discourse so that lessons from all development practitioners can be lent towards improving processes on both sides of the table. The talk will also include discussion of internships and job skills in the ICT4D sector from an NGO employer&#039;s perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; As a Senior Technical Advisor at IREX, Alex Pompe is a lead member of the Center for Collaborative Technology managing the NGO&#039;s ICT4D consulting portfolio. Clients come for a range of countries such as Sri Lanka, Malaysia, India, Nepal, Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, and Bhutan. This work focuses on public access to information barriers and community assessment methodologies. He oversees the Libraries for Development program in Namibia, the Tech Age Teachers program in Tunisia, and the New Education Technology program in Kazakhstan. He splits time between the IREX DC and Namibia offices.&lt;br /&gt;
Alex holds a BS in physics from the University of Illinois, and an MSI from the University of Michigan School of Information. He focused on information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D).&lt;br /&gt;

The goal of this session is to provide several students at various points in their academic programs&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
, but especially new students, with a chance to talk about (1) their interests, (2) the projects to which they&#039;ve contributed, and (3) those they&#039;d like to do. Our hope is that this will allow new students to introduce themselves and convey their interests in a way that helps them find others with shared interests and form working relationships on projects with professors and other students. Students will have 5–8 minutes to introduce themselves and their interests, their previous and current projects, skills and expertise, and their future interests in HCI and the HCIL. Hopefully, this will help new students connect with professors and other students with whom they share interests and can work together on research projects. Following talks will be about 10 minutes for discussion with the presenting students (perhaps for asking them to join a project team).&lt;br /&gt;

Everybody’s internet? :Designing for mobile-centric internet users in the developing world &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Within 5 years, wireless broadband services will cover 85% of the world’s population, &lt;br /&gt;
and data-enabled mobile (cellular) devices will outnumber personal computers and &lt;br /&gt;
tablets. This talk, taken from a book in preparation, details the growing importance &lt;br /&gt;
of ‘mobile-centric internet use’ in the developing world, raising questions and &lt;br /&gt;
challenges for design.&lt;br /&gt;
A breathlessly optimistic narrative has proclaimed the mobile phone the device &lt;br /&gt;
which will finally close the ‘digital divide’, but the digital world does not run &lt;br /&gt;
exclusively on mobile handsets. To guide policy and technical investments in &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development— I argue that it is better to reframe and view the &lt;br /&gt;
mobile handset as one piece of a person’s digital repertoire, which also might include &lt;br /&gt;
PCs, telecentres, TVs, tablets, and other devices. &lt;br /&gt;
In the talk and in the book I revisit some of my previous studies in three domains of &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development: microenterprises and livelihoods, citizen journalism, &lt;br /&gt;
and secondary education. Across each, I celebrate the transformational potential of &lt;br /&gt;
the mobile phone. Yet, in each case, I use the “digital repertoires” lens to raise &lt;br /&gt;
concerns, identifying how the capacity to generate, produce, and curate information &lt;br /&gt;
may remain concentrated among those with better resources to secure digital tools,&lt;br /&gt;
and the skills and incentives to use them. The person with $30 basic data-enabled &lt;br /&gt;
phone and the person with a smartphone and a state-of-the-art $1000 desktop &lt;br /&gt;
computer both can connect to the internet; however, it is not the same internet.&lt;br /&gt;
Yet these persistent digital stratifications can be reduced if technologists, &lt;br /&gt;
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers work to ensure that constrained digital &lt;br /&gt;
repertoires enable not only coordination and consumption (which phones already do &lt;br /&gt;
well), but also contribution (which they do less well). From natural user interfaces to &lt;br /&gt;
language support to bandwidth pricing, there are concrete ways in which more &lt;br /&gt;
empathetic design and policy can help a greater proportion of the world’s &lt;br /&gt;
inhabitants be more productive with their ICTs. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research India seeks to address the needs and aspirations of people in the world&#039;s developing communities. Our research targets people who are just beginning to use computing technologies and services as well as those for whom access to computing still remains largely out of reach. Most of our work falls under the rubric of the relatively young field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD or ICT4D). By combining a variety of backgrounds and training, we are able to engage deeply with some of the complex problems associated with poverty and scarce resources. Our goal is to study, design, build, and evaluate technologies and systems that are useful for people living in underserved rural and urban communities around the world. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the recent work in the group, focusing on projects that explore modalities and interactions specifically designed for the unique contexts and users we’re working with:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1) VideoKheti: A prototype multimodal system to help low-literate farmers search for agricultural extension videos on smart phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2) IVR Junction: A platform for building scalable and distributed voice forums for users with low-end phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3) Massively Empowered Classrooms (MEC): A project to explore how innovations in MOOCs and blended learning can be applied to second-tier, large-scale engineering education in India.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4) Maybe something else, depending on the interests of the audience&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;width:800px&amp;quot;&amp;gt; HCI and Networking - Taming the Internet One Bit at a Time&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As we become more dependent on high speed Internet, we increasingly have to deal with making sure our devices are connected properly, that we&#039;re getting the speeds we need, and that we&#039;re making efficient use of our data. Yet often, Internet connections break or do not work as planned, causing us endless headaches. We also have to juggle constraints such as slow speeds, limited bandwidth, and high data costs depending on our location and use. My research focuses on helping users manage Internet connectivity in their homes, the workplace, and on the go, particularly under constraints of low resources and high costs. In this talk, I&#039;ll go over how I use HCI and networking to reach the goal of taming the Internet for everyday users and talk about future directions.&lt;br /&gt;

Tracking the Body in Healthcare&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; New gesture and movement tracking technologies are offering rich possibilities for our everyday computing experiences. More than simply intuitive and non-intrusive forms of interaction these technologies can provide ways to transform behavioral practices in particular contexts. Within these contexts, there are important challenges in how we take the opportunities provided by body/movement sensing systems and design them in ways that are attuned to the demands and circumstances of a particular setting. In this talk I will explore these issues in the context of the particular setting of healthcare. I will present prior work on a Kinect-based system that uses gesture and voice recognition capabilities to enable clinicians to interact with images during surgery without compromising sterility as well as new work on sensing a Parkinson&#039;s patient&#039;s movement ability for clinical decision-making and patient empowerment.&lt;br /&gt;

Accessible Social Technology &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;For better and worse, technology has changed how we connect with one another, potentially excluding those who have not kept up with changing social norms. To provide one common example: grandparents who have not adopted Facebook often find themselves excluded from family photo sharing practices. In this talk, Karyn will informally discuss recent projects targeted at drawing marginalized individuals into online social forums, with a focus on bridging diverse preferences and accommodating competing needs.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Karyn Moffatt is an assistant professor in the School of Information Studies at McGill University. Currently, her work focuses on designing tools that are sensitive to the social context in which they will be used and that seek to leverage and support those relationships. Prior to joining McGill University, Karyn was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Toronto supported by awards from NSERC and CIHR’s Health Care, Technology, and Place strategic initiative. She received her doctorate in computer science from the University of British Columbia in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;

The Talk Talk&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;So you have to give a talk, now what? Well, it&#039;s probably too late to run, and nobody likes a hider, so your best bet is to just suck it up, and start prepping your talk. But how? What should you do first? What are you even trying to accomplish here? Prepping a talk is not only a daunting prospect, but it&#039;s really easy to get lost in the details and lose sight of the big picture. In this brown bag, I&#039;ll be laying out that big picture, and providing a step-by-step roadmap of how to get there. The goal is to give rookie talk-givers a better sense of direction as they navigate the shadowy abyss of prepping a talk. I&#039;m also hoping that some of the more experienced talk-givers can chime in with some of their best tips and tricks for building a slammin&#039; talk.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Megan Monroe is a fifth year PhD student in the Computer Science Department who feels super awkward writing about herself in the third person. That being said, she has given a lot of talks, and is loosely presumed to proficient in this area.&lt;br /&gt;

Privacy Management in the Digital Age&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While regularly used for interpersonal communication, relationship maintenance, and information sharing, newer communication technologies such as Facebook and Twitter have also created significant tension between individuals’ desire to maintain privacy and to be engaged participants in online communities. Problems arise due to the increasing diversity of users on these sites, a lack of privacy management knowledge and/or skills, and the often-changing privacy standards of the sites themselves. Rather than proactively engaging this complexity, many users employ reactive privacy management strategies—until something bad happens to me, I won’t worry about the information I’m sharing.&lt;br /&gt;
Understanding how people conceptualize privacy and how that conceptualization influences behavior is increasingly important in today’s networked world, as individuals—and information—are now connected in more ways than ever before. The affordances of social media distinguish them from other communication channels, both on- and offline, with content being easier to search and archive, while people and content are more highly linked within systems. Thus, the consequences of employing more reactive strategies are far-reaching, with potential impacts on personal relationships, financials, work, and beyond. In this talk, I’ll highlight some of my recent findings on this topic as well as overview my expected research trajectory for the next few years in this very active space. &lt;br /&gt;

Talk and discussion about GitHub and why the HCIL may want to adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In this talk, Chris (and others) will lead a talk and discussion about GitHub. Generally, Chris will give an overview of GitHub and facilitate a discussion about why the HCIL might want to adopt GitHub in some way, perhaps by making an &amp;quot;Organization&amp;quot; entity under which projects can be created and students, faculty, and others in the HCIL can check in their code.&lt;br /&gt;

From Digital Footprints to Social Insights&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The pervasiveness of cell phones, mobile applications and social media is generating vast amounts of information that can reveal a wide range of human behavior. From mobility patterns to social connections, these signals expose insights about how humans behave and interact with their environment. While a lot of work has focused on analyzing behaviors, relatively little effort has been dedicated to understanding ways in which such findings could be useful to decision makers in areas like smart cities or public health. In this talk I will discuss two projects: (1) AlertImpact, an agent-based framework that uses geo-referenced cell phone data to model the impact of the preventive actions implemented by the Mexican government during the H1N1 flu outbreak and (2) TweetLand, a method to automatically identify urban land uses and landmarks (point of interest) using tweeting patterns.&lt;br /&gt;

Bridging ICT4D lessons from the NGO sector towards academia ([https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2618031/Alex%20Pompe%20UMD%20Presentation.pptx Slides])&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract: ICT4D professionals in both the academic and NGO areas stand to benefit from greater collaboration, awareness, and transparency of experiences. However, often at conferences both groups are frustrated due to a lack of common understanding and misconceptions. This talk will present a number of case studies from IREX&#039;s ICT work in a variety of regions focused on providing open discussion and discourse so that lessons from all development practitioners can be lent towards improving processes on both sides of the table. The talk will also include discussion of internships and job skills in the ICT4D sector from an NGO employer&#039;s perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; As a Senior Technical Advisor at IREX, Alex Pompe is a lead member of the Center for Collaborative Technology managing the NGO&#039;s ICT4D consulting portfolio. Clients come for a range of countries such as Sri Lanka, Malaysia, India, Nepal, Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, and Bhutan. This work focuses on public access to information barriers and community assessment methodologies. He oversees the Libraries for Development program in Namibia, the Tech Age Teachers program in Tunisia, and the New Education Technology program in Kazakhstan. He splits time between the IREX DC and Namibia offices.&lt;br /&gt;
Alex holds a BS in physics from the University of Illinois, and an MSI from the University of Michigan School of Information. He focused on information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D).&lt;br /&gt;

The goal of this session is to provide several students at various points in their academic programs&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
, but especially new students, with a chance to talk about (1) their interests, (2) the projects to which they&#039;ve contributed, and (3) those they&#039;d like to do. Our hope is that this will allow new students to introduce themselves and convey their interests in a way that helps them find others with shared interests and form working relationships on projects with professors and other students. Students will have 5–8 minutes to introduce themselves and their interests, their previous and current projects, skills and expertise, and their future interests in HCI and the HCIL. Hopefully, this will help new students connect with professors and other students with whom they share interests and can work together on research projects. Following talks will be about 10 minutes for discussion with the presenting students (perhaps for asking them to join a project team).&lt;br /&gt;

Everybody’s internet? :Designing for mobile-centric internet users in the developing world &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Within 5 years, wireless broadband services will cover 85% of the world’s population, &lt;br /&gt;
and data-enabled mobile (cellular) devices will outnumber personal computers and &lt;br /&gt;
tablets. This talk, taken from a book in preparation, details the growing importance &lt;br /&gt;
of ‘mobile-centric internet use’ in the developing world, raising questions and &lt;br /&gt;
challenges for design.&lt;br /&gt;
A breathlessly optimistic narrative has proclaimed the mobile phone the device &lt;br /&gt;
which will finally close the ‘digital divide’, but the digital world does not run &lt;br /&gt;
exclusively on mobile handsets. To guide policy and technical investments in &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development— I argue that it is better to reframe and view the &lt;br /&gt;
mobile handset as one piece of a person’s digital repertoire, which also might include &lt;br /&gt;
PCs, telecentres, TVs, tablets, and other devices. &lt;br /&gt;
In the talk and in the book I revisit some of my previous studies in three domains of &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development: microenterprises and livelihoods, citizen journalism, &lt;br /&gt;
and secondary education. Across each, I celebrate the transformational potential of &lt;br /&gt;
the mobile phone. Yet, in each case, I use the “digital repertoires” lens to raise &lt;br /&gt;
concerns, identifying how the capacity to generate, produce, and curate information &lt;br /&gt;
may remain concentrated among those with better resources to secure digital tools,&lt;br /&gt;
and the skills and incentives to use them. The person with $30 basic data-enabled &lt;br /&gt;
phone and the person with a smartphone and a state-of-the-art $1000 desktop &lt;br /&gt;
computer both can connect to the internet; however, it is not the same internet.&lt;br /&gt;
Yet these persistent digital stratifications can be reduced if technologists, &lt;br /&gt;
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers work to ensure that constrained digital &lt;br /&gt;
repertoires enable not only coordination and consumption (which phones already do &lt;br /&gt;
well), but also contribution (which they do less well). From natural user interfaces to &lt;br /&gt;
language support to bandwidth pricing, there are concrete ways in which more &lt;br /&gt;
empathetic design and policy can help a greater proportion of the world’s &lt;br /&gt;
inhabitants be more productive with their ICTs. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research India seeks to address the needs and aspirations of people in the world&#039;s developing communities. Our research targets people who are just beginning to use computing technologies and services as well as those for whom access to computing still remains largely out of reach. Most of our work falls under the rubric of the relatively young field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD or ICT4D). By combining a variety of backgrounds and training, we are able to engage deeply with some of the complex problems associated with poverty and scarce resources. Our goal is to study, design, build, and evaluate technologies and systems that are useful for people living in underserved rural and urban communities around the world. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the recent work in the group, focusing on projects that explore modalities and interactions specifically designed for the unique contexts and users we’re working with:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1) VideoKheti: A prototype multimodal system to help low-literate farmers search for agricultural extension videos on smart phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2) IVR Junction: A platform for building scalable and distributed voice forums for users with low-end phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3) Massively Empowered Classrooms (MEC): A project to explore how innovations in MOOCs and blended learning can be applied to second-tier, large-scale engineering education in India.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4) Maybe something else, depending on the interests of the audience&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As we become more dependent on high speed Internet, we increasingly have to deal with making sure our devices are connected properly, that we&#039;re getting the speeds we need, and that we&#039;re making efficient use of our data. Yet often, Internet connections break or do not work as planned, causing us endless headaches. We also have to juggle constraints such as slow speeds, limited bandwidth, and high data costs depending on our location and use. My research focuses on helping users manage Internet connectivity in their homes, the workplace, and on the go, particularly under constraints of low resources and high costs. In this talk, I&#039;ll go over how I use HCI and networking to reach the goal of taming the Internet for everyday users and talk about future directions.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;IMPORTANT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Use the COLOR PRINTER ONLY WHEN YOU NEED COLOR.  (&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:red&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;The black ink on the color printer is TWICE as expensive as the black ink on the b/w printer&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.)  &lt;br /&gt;
* Always print DOUBLE-SIDED to save paper&lt;br /&gt;
* Ask your adviser if you are not sure where the paper for your needs is supposed to come from &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NEED TO PRINT or COPY SOMETHING REALLY BIG?&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Consider printing/copying in your home department which will have better printing capability (e.g. CS or UMIACS)&lt;br /&gt;
* e.g. for CS students see: http://www.cs.umd.edu/faq/faq.html to print in AVW&lt;br /&gt;
* Someone can add info for the iSchool folks here &amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; ??? &amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Printing=&lt;br /&gt;
Use Black and White printer whenever possible because its ink is cheaper (even than the black ink on the color printer).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Printing in Black and White ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The black and white printer is the small black one on the right.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our black and white printer is a Brother HL-5450DN Laser Printer. It has automatic duplexing (just like the color printer). We prefer that you &#039;&#039;&#039;use the black and white printer for a majority of your printing&#039;&#039;&#039; and the color printer for your publication submissions (e.g., to investigate how a chart or figure looks printed in color). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===B/W Printer Setup: IP Address: 128.8.225.52===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you need to install the black and white printer, specify the printer using its ip address: 128.8.225.52 and select the Brother HL-5450DN driver (or a generic postscript driver). If you have problems, see Anne Rose to get the installation CD or download it online.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Printing in Color ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CodyPrinter.png|thumb|Cody with the new printer.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The color printer is the tall white one on the left.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our color printer is a Brother MFC-9970CDW Laser Printer. Here&#039;s a link to the manual (PDF). Please be aware that &#039;&#039;&#039;the color printer (even when using only black ink) is more than twice as expensive as the black and white printer&#039;&#039;&#039; so please use this printer conservatively. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This printer also scans documents, with both a flatbed and a duplex feeder option, so you can scan two sides at once.  It scans up to 1200x2400 dpi.  It can also email you the document, if you give it an @umd.edu address.  (Nothing else, though, like @cs.umd.edu or @terpmail.edu...Those will break it.)  And, of course, you can copy documents by printing from the flatbed.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It can print duplex, up to 2400x600 dpi, from the network or a USB flash drive at 30 pages/minute.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Color Printer Setup===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Windows Printer Setup ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Go to &amp;quot;Start-&amp;gt;Devices and Printers&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;

* Select &amp;quot;Add a network, wireless, or Bluetooth printer&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
* Click &amp;quot;The printer I want isn&#039;t listed&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
* Click &amp;quot;Next&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
* Enter 128.8.225.92 as the hostname or IP address (you don&#039;t have to fill in port name, it will fill automatically) &lt;br /&gt;
:: Wait...a long time... &lt;br /&gt;
* You will get a prompt saying &amp;quot;additional port information required&amp;quot;. Click &amp;quot;Next&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
:: Wait...a long time... &lt;br /&gt;
* Choose &amp;quot;Brother&amp;quot; in the &amp;quot;Manufacturer&amp;quot; column &lt;br /&gt;
* In the &amp;quot;Printers&amp;quot; column, select &amp;quot;Brother MFC-9970CDW&amp;quot; if it is listed. If it is not, click &amp;quot;Windows Update&amp;quot; and wait...a long time... Then select &amp;quot;Brother MFC-9970CDW&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
* Click &amp;quot;Next&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
* Enter a name for the printer then click &amp;quot;Next&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
* Finally, click &amp;quot;Finish&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Mac Printer Setup ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can add printers in two ways: &lt;br /&gt;
# From the System Preferences -&amp;gt; Print and Scan -&amp;gt; &#039;+&#039; (Below list of prints on the left)&lt;br /&gt;
# From a print dialog box -&amp;gt; Printer Drop down -&amp;gt; Add Printer&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both options get you to the Add Printer dialog.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Click on the IP icon&lt;br /&gt;
* Select Protocol: Internet Printing Protocol -  IPP&lt;br /&gt;
* Enter in &amp;quot;128.8.225.92&amp;quot; for the address&lt;br /&gt;
* In the lower section, for &#039;Name&#039; feel free to use whatever name you&#039;d like but including something like &amp;quot;Brother MFC-9970CDW&amp;quot; might be a good choice.&lt;br /&gt;
* Select Print Using: &amp;quot;Select Print Software&amp;quot; -&amp;gt; &amp;quot;Brother MFC-9970CDW CUPS&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
::&#039;&#039;If this option isn&#039;t available, you may need to download it from the link provided below&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Click Add&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Downloading Drivers ====&lt;br /&gt;
* Download the CUPS printer driver (from [http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/us/us_ot/en/dlf/dlf/000000/004500/dlf004512.html?reg=us&amp;amp;c=us_ot&amp;amp;lang=en&amp;amp;prod=mfc9970cdw_all&amp;amp;type2=1&amp;amp;os=115&amp;amp;flang=4&amp;amp;dlid=dlf004512 here]) &lt;br /&gt;
* Double click and install the dmg (the BrotherCLDrivers.pkg)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Toner Ordering =&lt;br /&gt;
(Please let Charley know when printer ink is running low, so ey can buy more.)  &lt;br /&gt;
Amazon has a selection of high-yield replacement toner cartridges with yields of approximately 3,500 pages rather than 1,500 (it makes sense to purchase the high-yield cartridges because they offer better value): &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
= Setting Up Printer =&lt;br /&gt;
Cody and Jon got the MFC-9970CDW Laser Printer on the network in a very hacky way. You don&#039;t need to know these details unless something went very wrong and the printer no longer has network access. Ask Jon for more details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Printer ip: 128.8.225.92&lt;br /&gt;
Internal ip: 192.168.1.2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Brother9970Port.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You must open port 9100 on the Hackerspace router to get network printing to work!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.brother-usa.com/ModelDocuments/Consumer/Network%20Users%20Manual/NUM_MFC_9460CDN_9560CDW_9970CDW_EN_2870.PDF&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are connected to the HAckerspace WiFi, you can connect to the printer directly in your browser by going to 192.168.1.2 and typing in:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
login: user&lt;br /&gt;
password: access&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
login: admin&lt;br /&gt;
password: access&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Administration =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to Cody Dunne for helping Jon setup and configure the printer (it required some heavy lifting and some clever network hacking to get it to work). We locked down the touchscreen &amp;quot;Menu&amp;quot; icon so that you have to enter a password to change the configuration (we did so mainly because we had to setup a number of things and we didn&#039;t want them accidentally changed). However, if you need to update a configuration setting, use this password: 2117.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

* In the lower section, for &#039;Name&#039; feel free to use whatever name you&#039;d like but including something like &amp;quot;Brother MFC-9970CDW&amp;quot; might be a good choice.&lt;br /&gt;
* Select Print Using: &amp;quot;Select Print Software&amp;quot; -&amp;gt; &amp;quot;Brother MFC-9970CDW CUPS&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

* Click Add&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Downloading Drivers ====&lt;br /&gt;

(Please let Charley know when printer ink is running low, so ey can buy more.)  &lt;br /&gt;
Amazon has a selection of high-yield replacement toner cartridges with yields of approximately 3,500 pages rather than 1,500 (it makes sense to purchase the high-yield cartridges because they offer better value): &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

= Setting Up Printer =&lt;br /&gt;
Cody and Jon got the MFC-9970CDW Laser Printer on the network in a very hacky way. You don&#039;t need to know these details unless something went very wrong and the printer no longer has network access. Ask Jon for more details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Printer ip: 128.8.225.92&lt;br /&gt;
Internal ip: 192.168.1.2&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If you are connected to the HAckerspace WiFi, you can connect to the printer directly in your browser by going to 192.168.1.2 and typing in:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
login: user&lt;br /&gt;
password: access&lt;br /&gt;

Thanks to Cody Dunne for helping Jon setup and configure the printer (it required some heavy lifting and some clever network hacking to get it to work). We locked down the touchscreen &amp;quot;Menu&amp;quot; icon so that you have to enter a password to change the configuration (we did so mainly because we had to setup a number of things and we didn&#039;t want them accidentally changed). However, if you need to update a configuration setting, use this password: 2117.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;IMPORTANT&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Use the COLOR PRINTER ONLY WHEN YOU NEED COLOR.  (&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:red&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;The black ink on the color printer is TWICE as expensive as the black ink on the b/w printer&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.)  &lt;br /&gt;
* Always print DOUBLE-SIDED to save paper&lt;br /&gt;
* Ask your adviser if you are not sure where the paper for your needs is supposed to come from &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NEED TO PRINT or COPY SOMETHING REALLY BIG?&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Consider printing/copying in your home department which will have better printing capability (e.g. CS or UMIACS)&lt;br /&gt;
* e.g. for CS students see: http://www.cs.umd.edu/faq/faq.html to print in AVW&lt;br /&gt;
* Someone can add info for the iSchool folks here &amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; ??? &amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Printing=&lt;br /&gt;
Use Black and White printer whenever possible because its ink is cheaper (even than the black ink on the color printer).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Printing in Black and White ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The black and white printer is the small black one on the right.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our black and white printer is a Brother HL-5450DN Laser Printer. It has automatic duplexing (just like the color printer). We prefer that you &#039;&#039;&#039;use the black and white printer for a majority of your printing&#039;&#039;&#039; and the color printer for your publication submissions (e.g., to investigate how a chart or figure looks printed in color). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===B/W Printer Setup: IP Address: 128.8.225.52===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you need to install the black and white printer, specify the printer using its ip address: 128.8.225.52 and select the Brother HL-5450DN driver (or a generic postscript driver). If you have problems, see Anne Rose to get the installation CD or download it online.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Printing in Color ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CodyPrinter.png|thumb|Cody with the new printer.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The color printer is the tall white one on the left.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our color printer is a Brother MFC-9970CDW Laser Printer. Here&#039;s a link to the manual (PDF). Please be aware that &#039;&#039;&#039;the color printer (even when using only black ink) is more than twice as expensive as the black and white printer&#039;&#039;&#039; so please use this printer conservatively. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This printer also scans documents, with both a flatbed and a duplex feeder option, so you can scan two sides at once.  It scans up to 1200x2400 dpi.  It can also email you the document, if you give it an @umd.edu address.  (Nothing else, though, like @cs.umd.edu or @terpmail.edu...Those will break it.)  And, of course, you can copy documents by printing from the flatbed.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It can print duplex, up to 2400x600 dpi, from the network or a USB flash drive at 30 pages/minute.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;The HCIL has an open semi-organized weekly &amp;quot;brown bag lunch (BBL)&amp;quot; on every &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;Thursdays from 12:30-1:30pm in HCIL (2105 Hornbake, South Wing)&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.  The topics range from someone&#039;s work, current interest to the HCIL, a software demo/review, a study design, a proposed research topic, an introduction to a new person, etc.   The BBL is the one hour a week where we all come together--thus, it’s a unique time for HCIL members with unique opportunities to help build collaborations, increase awareness of each other’s activities, and generally just have a bit of fun together with &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;free food every week&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2013 fall, BBL will be transformed a bit to help increase engagement and strengthen ties in the HCIL community. There will be a wider range of sessions and each one will be organized a little differently than before.  In doing so, Michael and Tak will take [[Brown Bag Lunch Coordinators|BBL student co-coordinator role]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To sign up for a session, send an email to BBL co-coordinators &#039;&#039;&#039;Michael Gubbels (mgubbels@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Tak Yeon Lee (tylee@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039;. In the email, briefly describe the topic and preferred dates.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We thank YAHOO! for its sponsorship of the HCIL Brown Bag Lunches.  To get notified about upcoming events, please subscribe one of [[BBL mailing lists|these mailing lists]]. &lt;br /&gt;

The goal of this session is to provide several students at various points in their academic programs&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
, but especially new students, with a chance to talk about (1) their interests, (2) the projects to which they&#039;ve contributed, and (3) those they&#039;d like to do. Our hope is that this will allow new students to introduce themselves and convey their interests in a way that helps them find others with shared interests and form working relationships on projects with professors and other students. Students will have 5–8 minutes to introduce themselves and their interests, their previous and current projects, skills and expertise, and their future interests in HCI and the HCIL. Hopefully, this will help new students connect with professors and other students with whom they share interests and can work together on research projects. Following talks will be about 10 minutes for discussion with the presenting students (perhaps for asking them to join a project team).&lt;br /&gt;

Everybody’s internet? :Designing for mobile-centric internet users in the developing world &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Within 5 years, wireless broadband services will cover 85% of the world’s population, &lt;br /&gt;
and data-enabled mobile (cellular) devices will outnumber personal computers and &lt;br /&gt;
tablets. This talk, taken from a book in preparation, details the growing importance &lt;br /&gt;
of ‘mobile-centric internet use’ in the developing world, raising questions and &lt;br /&gt;
challenges for design.&lt;br /&gt;
A breathlessly optimistic narrative has proclaimed the mobile phone the device &lt;br /&gt;
which will finally close the ‘digital divide’, but the digital world does not run &lt;br /&gt;
exclusively on mobile handsets. To guide policy and technical investments in &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development— I argue that it is better to reframe and view the &lt;br /&gt;
mobile handset as one piece of a person’s digital repertoire, which also might include &lt;br /&gt;
PCs, telecentres, TVs, tablets, and other devices. &lt;br /&gt;
In the talk and in the book I revisit some of my previous studies in three domains of &lt;br /&gt;
socioeconomic development: microenterprises and livelihoods, citizen journalism, &lt;br /&gt;
and secondary education. Across each, I celebrate the transformational potential of &lt;br /&gt;
the mobile phone. Yet, in each case, I use the “digital repertoires” lens to raise &lt;br /&gt;
concerns, identifying how the capacity to generate, produce, and curate information &lt;br /&gt;
may remain concentrated among those with better resources to secure digital tools,&lt;br /&gt;
and the skills and incentives to use them. The person with $30 basic data-enabled &lt;br /&gt;
phone and the person with a smartphone and a state-of-the-art $1000 desktop &lt;br /&gt;
computer both can connect to the internet; however, it is not the same internet.&lt;br /&gt;
Yet these persistent digital stratifications can be reduced if technologists, &lt;br /&gt;
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers work to ensure that constrained digital &lt;br /&gt;
repertoires enable not only coordination and consumption (which phones already do &lt;br /&gt;
well), but also contribution (which they do less well). From natural user interfaces to &lt;br /&gt;
language support to bandwidth pricing, there are concrete ways in which more &lt;br /&gt;
empathetic design and policy can help a greater proportion of the world’s &lt;br /&gt;
inhabitants be more productive with their ICTs. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research India seeks to address the needs and aspirations of people in the world&#039;s developing communities. Our research targets people who are just beginning to use computing technologies and services as well as those for whom access to computing still remains largely out of reach. Most of our work falls under the rubric of the relatively young field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD or ICT4D). By combining a variety of backgrounds and training, we are able to engage deeply with some of the complex problems associated with poverty and scarce resources. Our goal is to study, design, build, and evaluate technologies and systems that are useful for people living in underserved rural and urban communities around the world. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the recent work in the group, focusing on projects that explore modalities and interactions specifically designed for the unique contexts and users we’re working with:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1) VideoKheti: A prototype multimodal system to help low-literate farmers search for agricultural extension videos on smart phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2) IVR Junction: A platform for building scalable and distributed voice forums for users with low-end phones.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3) Massively Empowered Classrooms (MEC): A project to explore how innovations in MOOCs and blended learning can be applied to second-tier, large-scale engineering education in India.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4) Maybe something else, depending on the interests of the audience&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;width:800px&amp;quot;&amp;gt; HCI and Networking - Taming the Internet One Bit at a Time&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible-content&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Abstract:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As we become more dependent on high speed Internet, we increasingly have to deal with making sure our devices are connected properly, that we&#039;re getting the speeds we need, and that we&#039;re making efficient use of our data. Yet often, Internet connections break or do not work as planned, causing us endless headaches. We also have to juggle constraints such as slow speeds, limited bandwidth, and high data costs depending on our location and use. My research focuses on helping users manage Internet connectivity in their homes, the workplace, and on the go, particularly under constraints of low resources and high costs. In this talk, I&#039;ll go over how I use HCI and networking to reach the goal of taming the Internet for everyday users and talk about future directions.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;The HCIL has an open semi-organized weekly &amp;quot;brown bag lunch (BBL)&amp;quot; on every &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;Thursdays from 12:30-1:30pm in HCIL (2105 Hornbake, South Wing)&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.  The topics range from someone&#039;s work, current interest to the HCIL, a software demo/review, a study design, a proposed research topic, an introduction to a new person, etc.   The BBL is the one hour a week where we all come together--thus, it’s a unique time for HCIL members with unique opportunities to help build collaborations, increase awareness of each other’s activities, and generally just have a bit of fun together with &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;free food every week&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2013 fall, BBL will be transformed a bit to help increase engagement and strengthen ties in the HCIL community. There will be a wider range of sessions and each one will be organized a little differently than before.  In doing so, Michael and Tak will take [[Brown Bag Lunch Coordinators|BBL student co-coordinator role]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To sign up for a session, send an email to BBL co-coordinators &#039;&#039;&#039;Michael Gubbels (mgubbels@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Tak Yeon Lee (tylee@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039;. In the email, briefly describe the topic and preferred dates. &lt;br /&gt;

The topics range from someone&#039;s work, current interest to the HCIL, a software demo/review, a study design, a proposed research topic, an introduction to a new person, etc.   The BBL is the one hour a week where we all come together--thus, it’s a unique time for HCIL members with unique opportunities to help build collaborations, increase awareness of each other’s activities, and generally just have a bit of fun together with &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;free food every week&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2013 fall, BBL will be transformed a bit to help increase engagement and strengthen ties in the HCIL community. There will be a wider range of sessions and each one will be organized a little differently than before.  In doing so, Michael and Tak will take [[Brown Bag Lunch Coordinators|BBL student co-coordinator role]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The HCIL has an open semi-organized weekly &amp;quot;brown bag lunch (BBL)&amp;quot; on every &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;Thursdays from 12:30-1:30pm in HCIL (2105 Hornbake, South Wing)&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.  The topics range from someone&#039;s work, current interest to the HCIL, a software demo/review, a study design, a proposed research topic, an introduction to a new person, etc.   The BBL is the one hour a week where we all come together--thus, it’s a unique time for HCIL members with unique opportunities to help build collaborations, increase awareness of each other’s activities, and generally just have a bit of fun together with &amp;lt;span style=&#039;color:red; font-weight:800&#039;&amp;gt;free food every week&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2013 fall, BBL will be transformed a bit to help increase engagement and strengthen ties in the HCIL community. There will be a wider range of sessions and each one will be organized a little differently than before.  In doing so, Michael and Tak will take [[Brown Bag Lunch Coordinators|BBL student co-coordinator role]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To sign up for a session, send an email to BBL co-coordinators &#039;&#039;&#039;Michael Gubbels (mgubbels@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Tak Yeon Lee (tylee@umd.edu)&#039;&#039;&#039;. In the email, briefly describe the topic and preferred dates. &lt;br /&gt;
