Towards Designing More Effective Systems by Understanding User Experiences
No full textClare Hooper is a postdoctoral fellow at the Eindhoven University of Technology. She completed her EngD with the School of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton, supervised by David Millard. Her thesis, entitled Towards Designing More Effective Systems by Understanding User Experiences, was motivated by a desire to build better social technologies based on a sound understanding of user experiences in physical and digital contexts. To this end, Clare developed Teasing Apart, Piecing Together (TAPT), a Software Engineering design process for understanding user experiences and redesigning them for new contexts. TAPT underwent a three-phase mixed methods evaluation, which demonstrated that the method provides a strong analytical framework for understanding experiences and that it supports experience redesign.

A Framework for Re-imaging and Enabling Access to Online Social Phenomena
No full textThe digital divide refers to a lack of technological access, part of which involves exclusion from a blooming arena of social interaction. People without mobile phones or PCs cannot access email, SMS or social networking websites; this includes many groups, such as the elderly, who can become vulnerable without good social contact. By enabling multimodal access to a variety of communication channels, including ubiquitous ones such as televisions and home telephones, this set of people can be included in such interactions. However, this social functionality cannot be effectively provided if we do not fully understand the ways in which current web-based social interactions occur. This report first describes background material related to pervasive and social technologies, ageing, computing in non-work environments, usability, and ethical issues. Next, a prototype pervasive messaging infrastructure for multimodal communications is described, as is its use as an assistive environment. The report also describes the vision for building a social fabric on top of this infrastructure. Two tools to understand social networking experiences, Experience Deconstruction and Actor-Network Theory, are presented. Finally, planned future work is described. The research question to be addressed is, “Can a systematic framework of methodologies be developed to understand the motivations for and experiences of social web-based phenomena, in order to reimagine these phenomena in novel contexts?” Planned research contributions are: the analysis and evaluation of methodologies for understanding online social phenomena; the creation and use of a systematic framework to apply these methodologies; and re-imagining the social networking experience via pervasive channels
Using TAPT as an Analytical Method for Understanding Online Experiences
No full textThere are various methods for understanding user experiences, but many of these focus on explicit and not implicit aspects. Teasing Apart, Piecing Together (TAPT) is a method that was developed to understand and redesign experiences, crossing web / non-web boundaries [9]. This paper presents a case study of its repurposing towards understanding online experiences more deeply, in this case considering playful location-based uses of the mobile web. The approach is to use TAPT to elicit key words from expert users, before conducting a meta-analysis of the results. This process is referred to as TAMA, Teasing Apart with Meta- Analysis. This paper describes and reflects on the TAMA process, and on the use of focus groups to conduct Teasing Apart
TAPT and contextmapping: understanding how we understand experience
No full textTAPT (Teasing Apart, Piecing Together) and contextmapping are cross-disciplinary methods for understanding people's experiences, in order to build better products and services. While TAPT concerns understanding and redesigning experiences, contextmapping is an approach for accessing laypeople's tacit knowledge to support design. TAPT was presented in its early stages at IF'09 and demonstrated in the context of educational gaming at IF'10. This lightning talk describes and compares the two methods and their relevance to both technical and humanities domains, with examples drawn from Computer Science, Industrial Design and Archeology. After a brief overview of the two methods, the talk will address the following questions: * Do TAPT and contextmapping result in the same key insights? * Is one method easier to use than the other? * When is it better to use one over the other
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
