Summary: Creativity support tools is a research topic with high risk but potentially
very high payoff. The goal is to develop improved software and user interfaces
that empower users to be not only more productive but also more innovative.
Potential users include software and other engineers, diverse scientists,
product and graphic designers, architects, educators, students, and many
others. Enhanced interfaces could enable more effective searching of
intellectual resources, improved collaboration among teams, and more rapid
discovery processes. These advanced interfaces should also provide potent
support in hypothesis formation, speedier evaluation of alternatives, improved
understanding through visualization, and better dissemination of results. For
creative endeavors that require composition of novel artifacts (e.g., computer
programs, scientific papers, engineering diagrams, symphonies, artwork),
enhanced interfaces could facilitate exploration of alternatives, prevent
unproductive choices, and enable easy backtracking. This U.S. National Science
Foundation sponsored workshop brought together 25 research leaders and graduate
students to share experiences, identify opportunities, and formulate research
challenges. Two key outcomes emerged: (a) encouragement to evaluate creativity
support tools through multidimensional in-depth longitudinal case studies and
(b) formulation of 12 principles for design of creativity support tools.

Summary: This tutorial provides a "hands-on" (actually, "minds-on") exploration of
several basic processes and phenomena of human memory. The emphasis is on
developing both intuitive and formal knowledge that can serve as background
knowledge which will be useful in interpreting design guidelines and in making
educated design judgments when design guidelines fail, conflict, or are
nonexistent. The demonstrations used emphasize basic general phenomena with
which any theory of memory must deal. In addition, the tutorial suggests some
of the implications of these phenomena for designing interactive computing
systems.

Summary: We demonstrate a software system that runs on smartphones and allows two or
more geographically dispersed participants to collaborate on the solution of
mathematical problems. We show how participants can create and join a
collaborative session, how they can use a virtual whiteboard for the exchange
of geometrical drawings and of mathematical formulas, and how they can
communicate using text messages. We demonstrate the turn-management mechanism
provided by our system, and we show how the system facilitates
cross-referencing within the session.

Informing the design of computer-based environments to support creativity

Summary: This paper addresses the problem of creating a human-centered computer-based
support environment to facilitate innovation and creative work. It focuses on
key factors to be considered in the design and development of any such user
support environment regardless of the specific domain for which it may be
implemented. The paper reviews psychological literature on how creativity,
insight and innovation occur and how they can be fostered in working
environments. Based on this discussion the paper then describes a generic set
of user or functional requirements intended to apply to any domain-specific
computer-based working environment for support of creative activities. The
paper proposes the conceptual model of a Virtual Workbench as a way of
capturing some of these requirements and as a way of organizing thinking about
the design of creative problem solving environments (CPSEs) in general.
Finally, the paper proposes one possible translation of the Virtual Workbench
and some of the functional requirements into a view of a generic model for
CPSEs by describing three component sets of functions that would be a subset of
those needed in almost any domain-specific CPSE.

Summary: CHI educators (in academia and industry) find some CHI concepts hard to
teach. This panel provides an opportunity for them to learn from the
experiences of experts. We will collect questions to find out what CHI
educators think it is hard to teach and what CHI students have found it hard to
learn from their instructors' presentations. Then we will ask our panel of
experts to talk about why the concepts are hard to teach and to describe the
successful strategies and techniques they have found for teaching them.

Summary: As we look to the future of HCI education, it is clear that, despite major
HCI curriculum initiatives [1, 2], there is little consensus in the CHI
community about what the content of HCI education should include or about how
and by whom that content should be delivered. This panel gives voice to both
prevailing and minority opinions on the subject.

Summary: This full day tutorial introduces and illustrates basic processes and
phenomena of human memory, and human problem solving. The tutorial has three
objectives. The first is to help an attendee develop an educated basis for
making interface design choices when guidelines fail, conflict, or are
non-existent. This objective is accomplished through the use of "hands-on"
demonstrations, exercises, examples and supplemental mini-lectures which focus
the participant's attention upon significant phenomena which not otherwise
ordinarily be noticed. The second objective is to relate some of the phenomena
being illustrated to human-computer interaction. This objective is
accomplished through the use of thought questions in the notes, occasional
mini-lectures, and examples which help to bridge the gap between the
demonstrations and their application to the design of human-computer
interaction. The final objective is to provide attendees with a basis for
undertaking self-directed study on these or related topics of their own
choosing in cognitive psychology.

Summary: Increasingly, the design of interactive computing systems appears to be a
process of iterative design and re-design. One important factor in successful
iterative design is iterative evaluation -- evaluation as part of each design
cycle. This paper argues that different evaluation-design cycles may require
different types of methodologies and different types of questions or measures
to fully satisfy differing evaluation goals. Furthermore, evaluation
procedures and measures themselves need to be designed and re-designed, a
process more easily accomplished during system development. Examples based
upon design projects illustrate some of the ways in which the nature and uses
of evaluation procedures and information may change in different cycles of
iterative evaluation.

Summary: ACM SIGCHI is expending more and more effort on HCI education, funding a
variety of projects, including a curriculum report, an IFIP working group, and
a survey of programs. Is SIGCHI directing its resources wisely and
effectively? Who are the consumers of HCI education, and who are their
employers? What should be the direction of HCI education in the 90's?
Panelists from industry and academia will "face off" to debate what industry
wants, needs, and is getting from HCI education.
