We have a Sig!

---

Motivation

Based on insights gathered at our CSCW 2003 workshop on understanding and evaluating UX outcomes at scale, we identified two areas of focus: 

1. the need to develop Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) educational resources for UX, specifically focusing on summative methods and industry practices, 
2. the opportunity to further review and discuss the potential of a casebook—a textbook centered around case studies. 

Proposal

This Special Interest Group (SIG) at CHI 2024 aims to directly address these opportunities by bringing together a community of academic and industry researchers for the exchange of ideas, ultimately guiding the development of educational resources that equip HCI students with strong summative research skills as they enter the UX field. At the SIG, we will discuss HCI educational resources for UX outcomes and present a casebook outline, gathering feedback, insights, and interest regarding the proposed case studies and general format. If you are interested in joining us or connecting before the SIG feel free to fill out the form below or reach out to us directly.

To Participate

Date and time of the 75 minute SIG session at  CHI 2024 to come.

What is a SIG? 👩‍🏫

In the context of ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) and CHI (Computer-Human Interaction), a Special Interest Group (SIG) refers to a community or subgroup within the organization that focuses on a specific area of interest or topic related to computing and human-computer interaction. SIGs serve as platforms for researchers, practitioners, and enthusiasts to collaborate, exchange knowledge, and advance the understanding and application of their respective areas of interest. They provide opportunities for networking, sharing research findings, organizing events, publishing specialized content, and promoting discussions within their specific domains.
