[Call for papers] Digital Wellbeing for Teens: Designing Educational Systems

by Luigi De Russis

Call for Papers – Digital Wellbeing for Teens: Designing Educational Systems Special issue of Interaction Design & Architecture(s) Journal (IxD&A) https://ixdea.org/digital-wellbeing-for-teens-designing-educational-systems/ Overview Recently, researchers have been exploring the unexpected issues arising from the excessive use of personal devices and social media apps, particularly as companies adopt “attention-capture” tactics like guilty-pleasure recommendations and automatic content playback. These strategies exploit users’ psychological vulnerabilities to increase advertising revenue, resulting in significant impacts on users’ perceived agency and often leading to a sense of losing control over their technology use. This has led to the emergence of a new focus on “digital wellbeing,” studied in fields such as Human-Computer Interaction and psychology. Traditional approaches by practitioners and researchers to tackle these issues involve developing Digital Self-Control Tools (DSCTs), such as mobile apps and browser extensions, that help users track their usage patterns and implement interventions like timers and lock-out mechanisms to regulate device use. However, both researchers and users are beginning to emphasize that achieving digital wellbeing requires more than just self-monitoring strategies; it is a journey of personal growth that necessitates education. Topics of Interest The goal of this special issue is to discuss ongoing research and ideas at the intersection of digital wellbeing and education. It aims to foster the development of strategies and interactive tools that mentor users, especially children and teenagers, towards a more meaningful and conscious use of technology. This can be accomplished in various ways, such as by designing new Digital Self-Control Tools with educational components, developing serious games, or creating collaborative platforms to introduce and support digital wellbeing learning in schools. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: * participatory and co-design of digital wellbeing systems; * tools and strategies to teach digital wellbeing at school; * strategies and tools for measuring students’ digital wellbeing; * novel DSCTs that include educational aspects; * gamification strategies for digital wellbeing; * ethical, social, and political factors. Submission All submissions must be original and may not be under review by another publication. The manuscripts should be submitted anonymized either in .doc or in .pdf format. All papers will be blindly peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers. Prospective participants are invited to submit an 8-20 pages paper (including authors’ information, abstract, all tables, figures, references, etc.). Important dates Deadline: December 31st, 2024 Notification to the authors: February 28th, 2025 Camera ready paper: March 30th, 2025 Publication of the special issue: June 2025 (tentatively) Guest Editors Chiara Ceccarini, University of Bologna (Italy) Catia Prandi, University of Bologna (Italy) Alberto Monge Roffarello, Politecnico di Torino (Italy) Luigi De Russis, Politecnico di Torino (Italy)

WUD SIGCHI-Italy 2024: partecipazione e programma

by Angela Locoro

Buongiorno, come annunciato qualche settimana fa, il prossimo WUD SIGCHI-Italy si terrà giovedì 14 Novembre in modalità ibrida (a Milano e online). Di seguito potete trovare le informazioni dettagliate sull’evento, al quale rinnoviamo l’invito a partecipare. Il WUD SIGCHI-Italy <https://hintlab.polimi.it/wud-sigchi-italy-2024/> in presenza si svolgerà il 14 novembre dalle ore 9:15 alle 13:40 nell’aula “Emilio Gatti” del Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria (Edificio 20) del Politecnico di Milano, Via Ponzio 34/5 - 20134 Milano, e in streaming su WebEx. L’evento è gratuito e ci si può registrare al link: https://forms.office.com/e/ixiuTqqCNv entro l’8 Novembre. A tutti gli iscritti che parteciperanno online verrà comunicato il link per accedere da remoto all’evento. La mattinata di interventi inizierà con la keynote della ricercatrice Eleonora Mencarini, che esporrà il lavoro dei ricercatori e dei progettisti nel campo dell'HCI per contribuire a comunicare le ripercussioni del cambiamento climatico. L'intervento approfondirà l'evoluzione della HCI sostenibile, dalla sua nascita fino alle tendenze attuali, evidenziando la co-creazione di politiche pubbliche, l'integrazione della biodiversità nel design e lo sviluppo di competenze multidisciplinari per affrontare la complessità del cambiamento climatico. Nell’intervento verranno ripercorse le tappe fondamentali di questo percorso, portando ad esempio uno scenario insolito per la tecnologia: i rifugi alpini, avamposti del cambiamento climatico, per i quali la comprensione del fenomeno da parte di cittadini e decisori politici è la chiave per mettere in atto strategie di anticipazione in grado di fronteggiare l’incertezza che la crisi climatica comporta e sperimentare nuovi modi di abitare le terre alte. Il programma degli interventi proseguirà poi con due voci aziendali: Jie Yuan e Andrea Cardillo di Microsoft Italia e Carlo Boccazzi Varotto di Hackability. I temi toccati negli interventi aziendali saranno relativi all’intelligenza artificiale accessibile e ai progetti realizzati e in corso, incentrati sulla collaborazione con altre aziende e istituzioni, per portare un’innovazione capace di creare un impatto sociale duraturo. Seguiranno poi le due sessioni sui temi della Sostenibilità e dell’ Accessibilità. Nella prima verranno toccati e discussi i temi della citizen science e del suo ruolo nell'HCI, mostrando come il coinvolgimento diretto dei cittadini nei progetti di ricerca possa promuovere la consapevolezza civica e l'impegno su temi di sviluppo sostenibile. Seguiranno poi interventi su quali sfide e responsabilità presenti il buon design del software relativamente al consumo di risorse fisiche e di come quindi sia cruciale progettare applicazioni web consapevoli del loro consumo energetico. Verrà infine toccato il tema di come l’intelligenza artificiale possa supportare l’equità e ridurre le disuguaglianze di genere e disabilità, attraverso l’educazione degli algoritmi ad allinearsi più e meglio all’apprendimento umano. La seconda sessione esplorerà il concetto di design universale, come approccio progettuale che mira a rendere spazi, oggetti e servizi accessibili al maggior numero possibile di persone oltre i limiti dell'accessibilità tradizionale. Verrà sollevata la questione dell’accessibilità delle informazioni tecnico-scientifiche per le persone con disabilità visive, specie quando si trattano informazioni non testuali ma grafiche, schematiche e messe in formule. Di ciò verranno illustrati i metodi tradizionali e le soluzioni innovative per garantire un accesso equo. Infine, entreremo nel mondo dell’interazione multisensoriale per l’apprendimento e la riabilitazione, dove verranno presentati esempi pratici di interfacce tangibili e serious game, utilizzati in ambito riabilitativo e nella gestione delle crisi, con un focus sull'efficacia di questi strumenti in contesti educativi e sanitari. Questo il programma della mattinata: Ore 9:15 Saluti iniziali Prof.ssa Giuliana Vitiello, Università degli Studi di Salerno e Presidentessa del SIGCHI-Italy Prof.ssa Cristina Gena, Università degli Studi di Torino, organizzatrice di numerose precedenti edizioni del WUD SIGCHI-Italy Introdurranno brevemente alla giornata gli organizzatori: Prof.ssa Maristella Matera, Politecnico di Milano Prof.ssa Angela Locoro Università degli Studi di Brescia Prof.ssa Barbara Rita Barricelli, Università degli Studi di Brescia Prof.ssa Daniela Fogli, Università degli Studi di Brescia Prof. Stefano Valtolina,Università degli Studi di Milano INVITED SPEAKER Ore 9:30 Dott.ssa Eleonora Mencarini, Fondazione Bruno Kessler Azioni collettive e piani per il futuro: come la Sustainable HCI può contribuire a contrastare il cambiamento climatico.
