With limited published research, and a large range of socio-cultural, practical and environmental differences across the Global South, HCI researchers and practitioners can encounter unexpected challenges when planning and conducting accessibility studies. The aim of this panel is to bring together three experienced academics who have conducted, managed and published impactful HCI research working with people with disabilities in various regions of the Global South from Latin America to East Africa and South Asia. Panelists will give an initial overview of their experiences conducting research with participants who had different disabilities and other relevant stakeholders, dedicating particular attention to the practical aspects commonly involved in research projects.","PeriodicalId":296023,"journal":{"name":"X Latin American Conference on Human Computer Interaction","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133615449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work addresses this issue by presenting a study in which a research team used the OpenDesign Platform to conduct a process of ideation and consolidation of a socioenactive system solution during pandemics and physical presence limitations. The contributions are twofold, addressing the demands of the research team working remotely and envisaging an interaction scenario for people in a socioenactive system, even without their copresence in the same physical space. Results have shown the strengths and weaknesses of the OpenDesign Platform and lessons learned towards supporting systems for teamwork in such systems’ ideation context.","PeriodicalId":296023,"journal":{"name":"X Latin American Conference on Human Computer Interaction","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126711545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our goal with this work was to learn the potential users’ perspectives about the instrument to ensure a proper development based on the evaluation of the three design alternatives. From the participants’ feedback on the instrument, we identified four main potential gaps to improve: video quality, language choice, written labels and user control.

We claim that practicing basic skills when exploring simple prototypes favors people to build mental models that are useful to understand and use technologies. In a case study, we engaged adults in their initial stages of literacy in activities that evolved from basic ones with a low fidelity ATM prototype to complex ones with a functional prototype. We identified that participants used the experience and knowledge they obtained from previous activities to carry out the next ones, showing confidence and autonomy when exploring a functional prototype.","PeriodicalId":296023,"journal":{"name":"X Latin American Conference on Human Computer Interaction","volume":"42 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120893382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In turn, educational providers have adopted active learning methodologies, such as collaborative problem-solving. However, the objective evaluation of collaboration at scale still is a challenge. This paper explores the relationship between quantitative measures obtained from automated transcriptions of speech and qualitative indicators of effective collaboration. An omnidirectional microphone and an artificial intelligence algorithm were used to collect speaking data from 20 triads of students discussing and building a concept map. The study focused on validating the potential value of speech recording devices to quantify the dynamics of communication networks by comparing quantitative metrics obtained from them with an established rating scheme for measuring the extent of collaboration. Results showed a relationship between the standard deviations of the speaking times of the participants in each group and the evaluation obtained from the qualitative rubrics of communication and interpersonal relationships. Thus, the extent to which all group members contribute to the discourse can potentially serve as an indicator of effective group work.","PeriodicalId":296023,"journal":{"name":"X Latin American Conference on Human Computer Interaction","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132407039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, we ought to engage with Citational Justice. Building on recent work discussing citational practices within HCI, we use the opportunity of this workshop to expand this conversation into deeper reflection on how we cite and the practices and infrastructures surrounding citations. Our goal with this workshop is two-fold. First, to create a common language to collectively reflect, interrogate our own citational practices and reverberations, while fleshing out concrete steps to make these practices just in our work and communities we are part of. Second, to invite participants to re-imagine citational practices and the systems and infrastructures necessary to make such practices feasible.
