need help with project
by gene loeb 11 May '13

11 May '13

I have tried to have an informal site about use of internet to help elderly. Increasing creative uses of internet have been occuring and I want to emphasize uses of internet, and use of technology to help communities-community informatics. I am not good in designing a site so my work has been by word of mouth. the name I have used is "center for technoloogy and cognitive health of older persons" I need help-other sites emphasize technology in general. I want to redo my site to emphasize research, where researchers and those with ideas can share. There is a great lack of sharing of research. I would like to share this activity with others-a researcher and or a university or foundation. I woulld rename it to something like "Institute for Technology and Cognitive (or Mental ) Health of Older Persons. Please help. And thanks for get well greetings for my pneomonia hospitalization. I am out of the hospital now and with a little pain. Now I want to help others. Thanks, wonderful people Gene Gene Loeb, Ph.D. -- With Sincerest Best Wishes , Gene Gene Loeb, Ph.D.

CFP: Digital Art and the Urban Environment: a Symposium, Art Exhibition, and Scholarly Volume
by Frank Marchese 11 May '13

11 May '13

First Call for Participation Digital Art and the Urban Environment: a Symposium, Art Exhibition, and Scholarly Volume Location: Pace University, Downtown Manhattan, New York City Date: Friday, October 4, 2013 Sponsors: Pace Digital Gallery, Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems, and the Pace Academy for Applied Environmental Studies Digital and new media artists utilize innovations in locative media, tracking technologies, telecommunication networks, and novel computer interfaces to craft artworks that create new ways to connect with the city. Just as their predecessors transformed urban neighborhoods, such as New York’s SoHo and Chelsea, through their energy and imagination, today’s artists are altering our perceptions of, and relationships with, urban space though their digital inventions and interventions. Thus, it is the purpose of this symposium, art exhibition, and scholarly volume to formally appraise the ways new media and digital artists engage urban ecology. It seeks to gather together contributions from artists, architects, computer scientists, designers, urban planners, social scientists, critical theorists, and others to consider these new modes of seeing, representing, and connecting within the urban setting. There are three possible ways to participate: 1. Symposium. Propose an oral presentation, dialog, panel, or other form of audience engagement for the symposium. Topics can range from reviews of how technology supports digital artistic practice to social studies of how a group or community is engaged by the work of digital and new media artists – and everything in between. The proposal should be approximately 300 words in length, include a very short list of important references, the names and affiliations of the presenters, along with a brief bio of each. Papers related to all accepted presentations will be considered for the edited scholarly volume (see below). 2. Edited Scholarly Volume. The goal of the scholarly volume is to define and contextualize the ways new media and digital artists engage the urban environment and its population. It seeks chapter proposals that describe theories, applications, analyses, case studies, reviews, histories, and manifestos that include, but art not limited to: · Artistic and design practices for the urban setting · Artist, designer, scientist, technologist collaborations · Artistic creations and practice based on scientific/technological models and simulations · Virtual and physical information artifacts related to, or created through, artistic and design processes · Artistic mapping of information within the urban setting · The relationship between information spaces and urban spaces · The role of the viewer in urban art · How digital artistic practice engages communities within the urban setting · Technological advances supporting urban art · User interfaces supporting urban art As with the symposium proposal, a chapter proposal should be approximately 300 words in length, include a very short list of important references, the names and affiliations of the presenters, along with a brief bio of each. It is anticipated that the scholarly volume will be published by a major international publisher. 3. Art Exhibition. Artists are invited to submit artwork related to the symposium theme for display either within the Pace Digital Gallery or through its website (http://csis.pace.edu/digitalgallery/index.html ). Artists should submit a short proposal describing their artwork, a brief biography, and the URL of their websites. All artwork in the show will be documented in the show’s catalog. Important Information: Due Date: All submissions are due by Sunday, July 13, 2012. All proposals for symposia presentations, book chapters, artwork, and any other inquiries should be emailed to: Dr. Francis T. Marchese Pace Digital Gallery & Department of Computer Science Pace University 163 William Street, 2nd Floor NY, NY10038 Email: fmarchese(a)pace.edu Academic Web page: http://csis.pace.edu/~marchese Pace Digital Gallery Web page: http://csis.pace.edu/digitalgallery/

Second Call: Participatory Design for Persons with Cognitive or Sensory Impairments @ Interact2013
by Niels Hendriks 10 May '13

10 May '13

* Are you interested in participatory design and do you work with users with impairments? We organize a workshop on participatory design for persons with cognitive or sensory impairments<http://interact2013impairmentsworkshop.wordpress.com/>at Interact 2013 <http://www.interact2013.org/> in Cape Town, South Africa. This workshop will be held on Tuesday September 3rd. Workshop on participatory design for users with impairments Involving people with impairments in the design process is very challenging, especially when impairments affect cognitive functions or communication. People with such impairments may have substantial problems with thought processes and communication, including understanding abstractions, sequencing thoughts and actions, understanding symbols, and interpreting social cues. Many participatory design techniques are based on these processes and are therefore not usable, or need to be adjusted for people with impairments. Workshop aims This workshop aims to exchange experiences with participatory design techniques that were designed for, or adapted to people with impairments. Since many of these techniques are highly focused on specific target groups, a further aim is to extract general principles and to generate guidelines for involving users with impairments in the design process. Who should attend? Researchers and designers who have been involved in one or more design-oriented project(s) involving users with impairments are invited to participate. After this workshop, a call for papers will be launched for a special issue (on the topic of the workshop) of the journal CoDesign. Important dates - May 15: application deadline - May 24: notification of acceptance - September 3: workshop date - September 4 to 6: Interact main conference Further information & contact Please visit our project website for the workshop's programme and to apply for the workshop: http://interact2013impairmentsworkshop.wordpress.com/. For more information and questions, please contact Karin Slegers: karin.slegers(a)soc.kuleuven.be We hope to see you in Cape Town in September!*

Scales for social media participation akin to "experience"?
by Janet Salmons, Ph.D. 09 May '13

09 May '13

The "Social Technographics Ladder" is a couple of years old, and somewhat simplistic, but it does illustrate a progression from passive "spectators" to "creators": http://blogs.forrester.com/f/b/users/JROUSSEAUANDERSON/blog--st.gif. (from Li, C., & Bernoff, J. (2011). *Groundswell: Winning in a world transformed by social technologies* (2nd ed.). Boston: Harvard Business School Press.)

doctoral research project
by David L. Gates 09 May '13

09 May '13

I am an experienced marital/family therapist who has dealt with infidelity in my practice for decades. At this moment, I am a doctoral student conducting an online survey on the interaction of guilt, shame, and forgiveness on the security of a relationship when there has been infidelity. I need at minimum 64 individuals who are in a committed relationship where there has been infidelity. The survey is, of course, completely confidential...no personal identifiers are sought and all info is coded. The link to the survey is https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/6JPW7RB. Participants can simply log on and complete the survey. I can be contacted by phone at 847-525-0877 or by e-mail at david(a)davidlgates.com
