Why? Because data about real people in real situati ons spurs creativity and innovation around practical challenges\, result ing in more useful and usable artifacts. \;\n \;\nFieldwork for HC I typically consists of firsthand observations made in the naturally occ urring environment of use (as opposed to studies performed in a controll ed environment). Many techniques are adapted from anthropology – particu larly ethnography. \;\n \;\nAs the mobile app and manufacturing in dustries grow in Oregon\, UX designers are increasingly recruited from o ut-of-state. The Computer-Human Interaction Forum of Oregon - CHIFOO - r ecognizes a local need for more basic training in this area. \;\n \;\nWorkshop Format \;\nThis practicum is a new offering by CHIFOO\, separate from the popular monthly guest lecture series. Developed with i ndustry experts Sara Bly and Françoise Brun-Cottan\, this unique pilot p rogram serves as a first test model for future educational programs by C HIFOO. \;\n \;\nTo conduct fieldwork well\, the researcher needs t he knowledge\, ability and access to observe the activities and complexi ties of people within the context of their day-to-day pursuits. This mak es it difficult to practice in a classroom-only or online environment. T he methodology is best learned by apprenticeship and experience. \;\n \;\nEach session builds on the prior one. Participants are expected to attend three private classroom sessions\, to complete group assignmen ts in between\, and to ‘report out’ on the experience in teams at the la st session\, an open CHIFOO event. Sessions will be held: \;\n \;\ nSunday\, October 5\, 12-4 pm \;\nWednesday\, October 15 6-9 pm \; \nWednesday\, October 29\, 6-9 pm \;\nWednesday\, November 12\, 6-9 p m \;\n \;\nWho Should Participate? \;\nThe practicum is tailore d especially towards locals who seek a better command and understanding of the skills utilized by User Experience Analysts\, Design Engineers\, and Interaction Designers. \;\n \;\nTo make the learning experienc e as rich\, collaborative and personalized as possible\, the # of partic ipants is capped at 16. Group exercises are designed to be completed in teams of 2-4. \;\n \;\nAbout the Instructors \;\n \;\nDr. Sa ra Bly – Head Instructor – Sara Bly has been an active researcher and pr actitioner in qualitative user studies for more than 25 years. Ethnograp hically-informed fieldwork is a major component of her user experience s tudies\, which focus on understanding the context of an activity as well as the specific user task. During Sara’s tenure at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center\, she served on multi-disciplinary teams with anthropolo gists\, designers\, and computer scientists. Sara has worked in a variet y of companies and development teams\, and has experience teaching user study techniques for both industry and academia. She holds a PhD in Comp uter Science from University of California\, Davis. Currently Sara Bly l ives in Oregon and consults nationally. \;\n \;\nFrancoise Brun-Co ttan\, Phd – Instructor - Anthropologist Francoise Brun-Cottan spent ove r a decade as a Work Place Ethnographer and Interaction Analyst with Xer ox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center). Specialties include: \;\n \;\ nIntegration of ethnographic insights with engineering research\, produc t/services development and design to inform innovation. \;\nEthnograp hy - Observation and interviewing\, analysis and representations of work practices and user experience. Video ethnography \;\nConversation an d Interaction Analysis \;\nWork Practice and Participatory Design Stu dies. \;\nCurrently Francoise Brun-Cottan consults for libraries\, go vernment agencies\, large corporations and research agencies. \;\n 3\;\nClodine Mallinckrodt – Facilitator – From Wall Street to MarCom Way \, Clodine Mallinckrodt’s varied background spans the early days of inte ractive multimedia and distance learning to data security and strategy c onsulting. Currently\, Clodine is Manager of Ambulatory Reporting &\; Analytics for Providence Health &\; Services\, where she enjoys enab ling analyst teams to deliver data visualization and exploration tools t o healthcare executives throughout the west. She helped develop new Prov idence Consumer Segments\, is a GE-certified Change Facilitator\, and tr ained in Lean.
