SUMMARY:CHI 2017: Ways to Represent User Data: Best Practices in Communication Design
DESCRIPTION:Karen is co-leading two SIGs at CHI. In this one\, Karen and co-presenter Carol Farnsworth of Facebook will be leading a discussion about the best way to communicate user research to stakeholders. Below is a description. You can learn more on the conference website. \nThe need for user research is accepted by most high-tech companies. But getting the research into the minds of the people creating products remains challenging. UX professionals must represent the users world and communicate findings in compelling representations that lead to design action. The challenge has become harder because mobile devices let us accomplish activities in bits of time across multiple devices. Also\, service design\, total customer experience\, journey maps and process design all require visualization. \nBut what are the best ways to represent the user data? How can UX professionals immerse the team in user data to drive design? \nThis SIG helps participants improve their data representations. Co-organizers present their best practices\, the visualizations they use\, and how they use them. Participants try the techniques and share their own experiences and missteps for communicating user research.

SUMMARY:CHI 2017: Using Games for Good to Address Diversity in High Tech
DESCRIPTION:Karen is co-leading two SIGs at CHI. In this one\, Karen and co-presenter Bill Kunes be sharing the work of their students at the University of Maryland. Below is the description. You can learn more on the conference website. \nA constant flow of reporting documents the lack of women and other underrepresented groups in high tech. In response\, companies are working to fill the hiring pipeline. But beyond filling the pipeline\, statistics show women leave technology fields in mid-career 50% more often than men. Recent research on retention and work-life issues reveals key factors in women??s success\, which supports interventions that are being developed. \nThe games for good movement tackles social problems and offers a potentially engaging intervention approach. Working with the research data on the lives and success factors of women in technology companies\, the organizers and a group of students are building a set of games to raise awareness and change behavior in a fun way. \nSIG attendees will be able to respond to these game concepts\, play selected games with mock-ups and provide feedback\, and contribute ideas of how gaming can be used to support diversity.
