‘An Ontology of Dark Patterns Knowledge: Foundations, Definitions, and a Pathway for Shared Knowledge-Building’
Amazing pre-print by @graydesign, @nataliabielova, Cristiana Santos, Thomas Mildner
Just heard @graydesign presenting this great paper.

Please share with anyone interested in HCI Education. We hope to see you there!

Class Details:
In this masterclass, we will seek to bring together the knowledge contained in key texts commonly used in HCI education and the evident pedagogical challenges that underlie codified methods knowledge.

Such fundamental questions at this intersection include:
What kind of knowledge do methods contain?
How do students learn about methods?
and How do we know when students have sufficient knowledge of methods to continue engaging in adaptation, use, and creation in the future?

We will collaboratively address these questions, laying the groundwork for participants to consider the following issues in their own curriculum.

A photo of a person with short dark hair. Instructor: Colin M. Gray is an Associate Professor at Purdue University and leads an undergraduate program and graduate concentration in UX Design. Their research focuses on the ways in which the pedagogy and practice of designers informs the development of design ability, particularly in relation to ethics, design knowledge, and professional identity formation. Their research on design methods includes a range of practice-led work to describe how practitioners engage with design methods, a theoretical vocabulary to engage with methods, and practical implications for HCI and design educators to consider when building students’ methods knowledge.

A photo of a person with short hair. Text: Instructor: Paul C. Parsons is an Associate Professor at Purdue University and teaches in an undergraduate program and graduate concentration in UX Design. His research focuses on cognitive aspects of design and use of interactive artifacts, with a focus on data visualization interfaces. His research on design methods includes inquiry into which methods visualization designers are familiar with and use, how they make judgments about methods use in their work, and how design knowledge is codified into guidelines and used in practice.

Here's my analysis of reviews produced for #chi2023 and the review process in phase 1. tl/dr better reviews approach 1000 words, and 1/3 of papers are not producing reviews, 2/3 are not producing enough (!)

https://chi2023.acm.org/2023/01/05/investigating-the-quality-of-reviews-reviewers-and-their-expertise-for-chi2023/

The histogram has number of words on the x-axis, going up to just above 3500 words, and number of reviews at that length in the y-axis, going up to 400. The histogram shows two peaks. One major peak (N=400 reviews at its summit) at about 500 words for the bulk of reviews and sinking down (at a slightly slower rate than the ascent) to approximately zero at about 1500 words. The peak for the 10% of reviews that were given a special recognition, however, is much wider and flatter, first peaking at more like 750 words, and generally sitting more right than the major peak.

Hi, friends! I’m heading to the UK for a couple of weeks at the end of this month. I have a viva and a couple of other things on my calendar, but would love to connect and nerd out on #darkpatterns, #designmethods, etc. Also happy to give a talk to your students/colleagues if that’s useful!

Some sample talks and recent project activities available here: https://colingray.me/talks/ and https://colingray.me/whereiscolin/

My schedule should be quite open after 25 January 🎉
