Context
Aware Office
In preparation for designing an
office of the future where people can collaborate at a
distance, we are testing whether there is an empirically
meaningful distinction between office dwellers who are
scruffy and those who are neat. We are placing video cameras
in several offices and analyzing the results using ethnographic
methods and standard statistics. We are looking for certain
phenomena: trashing strategies, tidying up strategies,
methods for handling interruptions, the coordinative structures
they use - day planner, calendar, etc, when do they use
these, and how.

Advanced
Web Programming: Interactive Learning Environments
1. ASP, ASP.NET, JSP
programmers. We are improving our elearning environment, which
drives 187A, B, 25, 87 and courses by other faculty at UCSD
and elsewhere. The system is currently written in asp and
sql and we are reimplementing it in asp.net or jsp. There
are several positions open for skilled asp or java programmers
who want to learn asp.net or better yet who already have these
skills. In asp we will be adding new functionality to the
system by building additional wizards for helping faculty
import or create lectures, and so on. 199 students will learn
how to design wizards that are user friendly and nicely hide
complexity. More

2. Advanced Flash Programmers. We need help
developing a new course on usability and interface design.
The 199 jobs we have open are for advanced Flash programmers
who can create simulations of familiar devices like microwaves,
VCR's, Ipod's, and so on. We have tools and libraries to help
create these simulations but we need Flash programmers to
make specific simulations. More

| Interface
Analysis |
|
We are performing usability evaluations as part of a more inclusive
project of analyzing the interface of small devices such as camcorders,
cell phones, microwaves, Ipods, VCR's and so on. We video subjects
carrying out normal tasks with each device, we then performing analyses
by creating state spaces and tracking user activity through these
state spaces.

Activity
Analysis of Distributed collaboration
We are studying
how small groups collaborate using advanced video conferencing
tools when they are geographically apart. This project is
ideal for students interested in distributed cognition, ethnography
and analysis of activity. Students will help create new methods
of visualizing activity through video capture and other techniques.
This will include analyzing the interaction of people and
technology in various collaborative settings. Contact Professor

Experts of StarCraft
Help Analyze How Players Transfer Knowledge
We are studyiing
how people pass their understanding and awareness of complex
situations. To test how people 'pass the bubble' we are desiogning
an experiment in which experts of StarCraft have to pick up
a game that another expert has been playing for 25 mins. We
need StarCraft experts who can play the game and analyze the
way other experts pass their knowledge More
