FW: [Sighci-l] HCI Help Request

[Joette Stefl-Mabry]

Great suggestions Ranti -- At November's conference we (SIG/HCI) would
like to host a half day or full day sessions on usability issues. Both
of your suggestions fit right into this plan: 1)An open panel
discussions between HCI practitioners and end users, 2)Collaboration in
sponsoring a panel program with other HCI-related SIGs such as SIG-IA. 

I would like to see us work together to make this happen. How about some
volunteers to sketch out a plan of action? Suggestions, comments? 

Ranti would you and Carol Hutchins like to take the lead on this? 

Joette

Joette,
 
 
I am new in this field and don't have anything specific to work on at
this moment in term of HCI, but I hope this might give us some idea:
 
- ACM just finished their SIGCHI conference last week
(http://www.acm.org/chi2002/) and they have interesting topics there.
We can also gain quite a lot of information from their "community place"
(http://www.chiplace.org).   
 
- Katherine Everitt and Scott Lederer from UC Berkley conducted a
usability comparison between StarOffice Writer 5.2 and MS Word 2000
(http://www.sims.berkeley.edu/courses/is271/f01/projects/WordStar/finalR
eport.html)
 
- Susanne Eklund, Micahl Feldman, and Mary Trombley, also from UC
Berkely, conducted another usability comparison between StarOffice Calc
and MS Excel
(http://www.sims.berkeley.edu/courses/is271/f01/projects/StarCalc/)
 
- An open panel discussions between HCI practitioners and end users?
 
- Collaboration in sponsoring a panel program with other HCI-related
SIGs such as SIG-IA? (I don't know whether this has been done in
previous time)

We are attempting to make HCI a dynamic and exciting SIG, so this is an
earnest plea to all members of the SIG to help us accomplish this goal.
Assuming that we all joined SIGHCI because we are interested in this
important topic, we would like to hear from you about what you are
working on.  Do you have any accomplishments or current research that
you would like to openly share on the list serve? Please do!

 

Also, we would like to hear any ideas you might have for upcoming panels
(especially at the annual conferences), or activities you would like to
undertake through the SIG.  

 

In November, at the annual conference, would you like us to plan some
activities just for SIG/HCI members?  

 

We're all in this together and we need your help in reviving SIGHCI.
Please help. 

 

We're looking forward to hearing from you,

 

Barbara Lynch and Joette Stefl-Mabry
