We are all really excited at the CHI 2022 hybrid workshop that is about to start. We have a wonderful lineup of participants, some in New Orleans and some spread across the world. Looking forward to a great day.

EduCHI paper accepted
Our paper “Where, Who, Why? Tools to Encourage Design In Context” has been accepted at the 3rd Annual ACM SIGCHI Symposium on HCI Education (EduCHI 2021). The paper explores the educational aspects of UX tool design and how they can encourage students to adopt 360 degree design, which takes into account the full context, not just the pixels on the screen.
Abstract: We need to teach our students 360-degree design, taking into account the physical and social context in which their designs are placed in addition to the screens or aural interactions users have with them. Unfortunately, the dominant tools in current UX practice are focused almost entirely on the screen. We want to understand the requirements for next generation design tools, and to take steps to fill the void. This snapshot of work in progress presents some examples that are driving our thinking, early prototypes of tool concepts, and our current work engaging with designers, developers and other stakeholders.
