Three recent events that inspired this “call to arms” Your role in this discussion What it means to have impact Kinds of impact Recap of what it means to have impact Scope, Cost, Timeline… Your pledge about making an impact
3
Theory based on The literature on teams Own own observations and interviews of over 50 ▪ Science Collaborations ▪ Corporate virtual teams To verify theory Need data Online survey with advice to motivate participation They get the help and we get the data
4
Web accessible assessment tool Assesses Strengths Challenges How to overcome the challenges
5
NSF Had us give a talk to Federal funders in general “I have needed this for the last 10 years! Thank you.” Teams who were assessed welcomed advice “It drew out patterns in the way our members work that we were not conscious of, confirmed some of our impressions, and allowed us to hear frankly from our members. …useful as an independent evaluation tool not tied to a funding agency or other review panel”.
6
Object of study …”to speed the translation of laboratory discoveries into treatment for patients.” “from bench to bedside.” National Institute of Health: 60 CTSA awards in 30 states plus DC
7
National Institutes of Health Since 2006 $733 M

“While most researchers know what is meant by Intellectual Merit, experience shows that many researchers have a less than clear understanding of the meaning of Broader Impacts.”
9
Many of us came to this field to change the digital world Technology had gone awry Many early people attracted to HCI were “Children of the 60s”
10
Our careers were caught up in the reward structures Industry ▪ Create new products ▪ Disincentive to make findings available to others Academia ▪ Publish new findings ▪ Stay on topic, build a reputation
11
Where have all the impacts gone Long time passing
12
I will describe what I think it means to have impact I will list a number of ways we do and can have an impact You pledge… The card on your seat ▪ What other ways can you have impact ▪ How are you going to have an impact ▪ Collected by SVs at the door as you leave
13
What “counts” Theory gets used Downloads/views Profits Degrees/Education Technologies Lives changed ….. Who is impacted? Students Developers Consultants Specific populations The general public
14
Scopes differ You affect some people directly ▪ Interventions, teaching You enable others to be better at making better products ▪ Toolkits You set policy ▪ Affect a large number of people
15
Time scales differ Now ▪ e.g. Action research 1-3 years ▪ e.g., Publications 20-30 years ▪ e.g., Theory Assessment Tools 40-50 years ▪ e.g., Cyberinfrastructure development ? ▪ e.g., Policy (like SOPA/PIPA)
16
Access? Free ▪ Toolkits… ▪ Wizard ▪ …. Fees ▪ Commercial Assessment Tools ▪ Products ▪ Educational degree ▪ ….
17
Theories Assessment tools Technological innovations Guidelines, templates, patterns, toolkits and standards Policies New media dissemination Action research Teaching and teaching materials … What else? Which kinds of impacts will YOU make?
18
“There is nothing so practical as a good theory” Kurt Lewin “He who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards ship without a rudder and compass and never knows where he may cast” Leonardo Da Vinci
19

Collaboration Success Wizard Globesmart Myers-Briggs Personality Assessment CogTool …
22
Based on academic theories of cultural differences ▪ David Matsumoto ▪ Handbook of Culture and Psychology Like the Wizard, they collect data to adjust their assessments ▪ Recent upgrade used data from 400,000 users from over 60 countries
27
Based on the work of Carl Jung Developed further by Myers and Briggs Like the GlobeSmart you can see differences in values and habits with people you interact with Dimensions of discussion Some professional help
28
Based on work of Bonnie John ▪ Based on Card, Moran, & Newell ▪ GOMS and the Model Human Processor A general purpose UI prototyping tool It automatically evaluates your design with a predictive human performance model ▪ A “cognitive crash dummy”
30
▪ “You can compare expert use task time without recruiting participants…An excellent choice for completely new systems that don’t already have experts.”

Using storytelling to make computer programming attractive to middle school girls Storytelling Alice users spent 42% more time programming were more than three times as likely to sneak in extra time to continue working on their programs Caitlin Kelleher
36
10% of the nation’s colleges now use Alice An accompanying textbook, lessons, test banks 88% of “at risk” students who had Alice in a pre-CS1 course were retained through CS2 3.03 GPA

All provide conventions So there is little new to learn Where things go, what they look like Sometimes task flow guide
43
What are they based on? Are they consistent? (Human Interface Guidelines)
44
Principles, patterns and practices for improving use experience Early instance: Christian Crumlish & Erin Malone Christopher Alexander
45
Their effectiveness depends on ▪ The research they are based on ▪ The context in which they arose ▪ Their fit to the context they are being applied to
46
UI Development environments With extra features ▪ Highly interactive ▪ Graphical ▪ Direct manipulation ▪ Automatic undo ▪ Support for animation ▪ Gesture recognition Amulet - C++ Garnet – Common Lisp, X11, and Mac Brad Myers
