HCI Meeting Tuesday: Abstract Workshop + Swap
by Blaine Lewis 29 May '20

29 May '20

Hi Everyone! Next Tuesday we'll be doing an abstract workshop! Everybody should come with an abstract. It can be something you wrote for a past paper, past course project, a new project, it doesn't really matter. If you do write a new one, don't spend too long on it, probably not more than an hour. The point of this is to get early feedback and to learn how to write abstracts from each other. Personally I'll be writing an abstract for CHI2021, because I'd love to hear what other people think. Excited to see you all next week and learn everybody's secret's to writing abstracts! Zoom link: https://utoronto.zoom.us/j/96404556988 PS: If anybody thinks they're particularly good at writing abstracts and wants to give a workshop, or has some resources, let me know and I can fit it in! Best, Blaine

Anyone interested in some paid time this summer putting CSC 428 into online version?

Anyone interested in some paid time this summer putting CSC 428 into online version? This is the 4th year undergrad HCI course that Tovi taught last year (cross listed grad course as well). I'm teaching it in spring so right now I am moving parts of it into online education resources. I have to make recommendations to the dept by Tue and then they decide, so let me know if you might be interested. For example in a 50 hour contract, pay is around $30/hour. This is as a casual (there is a TA position available too, but not sure if you're still eligible if you didn't apply).

HCI Meeting May 17, 2020 - WATCHI AR and VR Session
by Blaine Lewis 18 May '20

18 May '20

Hi Everyone! After our last meeting on Tuesday I've taken on the role of "HCI meeting organiser person". Going forward we've decided to try to make more room for socialising. We're going to do that using an alternating schedule of *research development* and *casual meetings*. The meeting time is currently every Tuesday at 12:30. Research development meetings are fairly formal and will be things like brainstorming sessions, talks, or workshops and should be really useful for your research. During casual social meetings we might split off into small groups and chat with one another, roundtable talk about how we're doing, maybe play board games, or just drink coffee. It's fine if you show up a bit late or don't come to all of these meetings. This Tuesday we will have a research development style session watching a CHI event put on by Waterloo HCI. The session is on AR and VR, which I know not everybody researchers, but my favourite thing about conferences is the exposure to different research from my own, and I hope we can emulate that. Here's the plan and information: WATCHI AR and VR Session 2020-05-19 - Meet virtually (https://utoronto.zoom.us/j/96404556988) 15 minutes before the AR and VR session starts (12:15pm). Watch the session together, and then discuss the session at 1:25pm once it is over. - Watchi.live <http://watchi.live> - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7gjalaHF4E6C1CLTlKte6A/live Going forward we are going to try using Zoom. The biggest benefit here is we can use breakout rooms which might make socialising and some group activities a bit easier. https://utoronto.zoom.us/j/96404556988 If you have any ideas for future meetings feel free to add them to the Google doc Vicky started: https://tinyurl.com/hcimeetings Also* if the meeting time doesn't work for you* please send me an email or Slack message. I'd like to have the time work for as many people as possible. Best, Blaine
