Ever participated in social tagging, wikis, hackathons, or even just a group project? Or have you conducted research using focus groups or a Delphi method? “Crowdsourcing” and “collaboration” are important concepts in research and ideation (idea generation).<\/p>\n

Join Simmons ASIS&T and the GSLIS Doctoral Program<\/a> for a presentation about Group Ideation and Deliberation Activities. Dr. Lu Xiao will discuss four projects (completed and ongoing) about understanding and supporting group ideation and deliberation activities.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The first project looks at the effects of knowing other members’ rationales<\/strong> in small group ideation<\/strong> activities.<\/li>\n
  2. The second project examines the effects of knowing previous workers’ rationales<\/strong> in ideation activities through online crowdsourcing (Amazon’s Mechanical Turk<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  3. The third project focuses on understanding<\/strong> and supporting<\/strong> small group deliberation.<\/li>\n
  4. The fourth project studies large-scale online deliberation<\/strong> (Wikipedia’s Articles for Deletion discussions<\/a>) and explore a computational linguistic approach to facilitate deliberation processes and improve deliberation outcome.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Light refreshments will be served.<\/p>\n

    Dr. Lu Xiao is an assistant professor<\/a> at the University of West Ontario in London, Ontario. Her research group is the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Lab<\/a> at the Faculty of Information & Media Studies (FIMS). Her research focuses on the design and evaluation of information technologies that support collaboration and learning.<\/p>\n
