HCI meeting tomorrow (Tue June 27th)
by Gazelle Saniee-Monfared 26 Jun '17

26 Jun '17

Hello everyone, We are going to have our HCI group meeting tomorrow at 12:30 in BA5256. Mingming is going to lead a brainstorming session on his research. You can find the abstract of the brainstorming session below. Creating good documents for non-tech savvy population, such as many older adults, to use technology products can help them adopt and use products that can potentially improve their quality of life. However, it is not uncommon to come across poorly written documents. To understand how documents should be written for non-tech savvy population, I used product instructions as my target documents and older adults as my target population to explore how they, as end-users, would like the instructions to be written. Through a series of studies, I identified a set of guidelines for writing senior-friendly product instructions. Meanwhile, I also learned some challenges that writers may face in applying these guidelines. In this brainstorm session, I would like to introduce these challenges and brainstorm with you about potential approaches to addressing them. Thanks, Ghazaleh

Intro to HCI course instructor position (Winter 2018 term at UTM)
by Cosmin Munteanu 14 Jun '17

14 Jun '17

Dear all, My "home" undergraduate department (ICCIT at UTM http://www.utm.utoronto.ca/iccit) has an opening for a Unit 1 Instructor position (available for grad students) for the Winter 2018 term. The position is for CCT380 "Human Computer Interaction and Communication" -- this is the equivalent of CS 318, with a slightly stronger emphasis on design and lighter on the implementation part. Typically CCT students that are taking this have very strong skills in digital media design (Photoshop, Illustrator, and such). Details about the posting and application instructions: http://www.utm.utoronto.ca/iccit/employment-opportunities/iccit-postings (filed under "Unit 1 Course Instructor Positions"). The course comes with TA support, decent pay, and a set of ready-made course notes and assignments. I have redesigned this course 3 years ago and have been fine-tuning it since then -- I am happy to answer any questions about the course or about teaching at ICCIT. Cheers, Cosmin -- Dr. Cosmin Munteanu Assistant Professor Institute of Communication, Culture, Information and Technology, University of Toronto Mississauga Co-Director Technologies for Aging Gracefully Lab, University of Toronto Assistant Professor (Cross-appointed) Faculty of Information, University of Toronto Assistant Professor (Cross-appointed) Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto Email: cosmin(a)taglab.ca Web: http://cosmin.taglab.ca Phone: 905-569-4294 CCT Building Rm. 3067 University of Toronto Mississauga 3359 Mississauga Road Mississauga, ON L5L 1C6
