Our application, Videolyzer, addresses the\u003Cbr \/\u003E\ninformation quality problem in video by allowing politically motivated\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nbloggers or journalists to analyze, collect, and share criticisms of\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nthe information quality of online political videos. Our interface\u003Cbr \/\u003E\ninnovates by providing a fine-grained and tightly coupled interaction\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nparadigm between the timeline, the time-synced transcript, and\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nannotations. We also incorporate automatic textual and video content\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nanalysis to suggest areas of interest for further assessment by a\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nperson. We present an evaluation of Videolyzer looking at the user\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nexperience, usefulness, and behavior around the novel features of the\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nUI as well as report on the collaborative dynamic of the discourse\u003Cbr \/\u003E\ngenerated with the tool.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EBIO:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nNick Diakopoulos is a 6th year Ph.D. student in the School of\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nInteractive Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nresearch interests lie at the intersection of human computer\u003Cbr \/\u003E\ninteraction (HCI), automatic content analysis, and information\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nvisualization with themes from media including journalism,\u003Cbr \/\u003E\ncollaborative authorship and annotation, and games.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThomas Smyth\u003Cbr \/\u003EDesigning for and with Diaspora: A Case Study of Work with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Liberia\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EABSTRACT:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nWe describe our experiences in designing new media technologies in\u003Cbr \/\u003E\ncooperation with Liberia\u2019s Truth and Reconciliation Commission. This\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nwork includes two major projects: a dynamic, interactive Web site for\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nthe Commission, and a mobile video-sharing kiosk intended for use\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nin-country where connectivity is limited. We place specific focus on\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nour design exercises with members of the Liberian diaspora in Atlanta.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EOur report includes lessons learned both in designing technologies\u003Cbr \/\u003E\ndirectly for diaspora users, and in using diaspora members as\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nsurrogates for users in-country. These lessons include the need to\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nrecognize diversity even within the diaspora community, the relevance\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nof both city geography and physical environment, the utility of both\u003Cbr \/\u003E\ntrusted insiders and institutions, the periodic inconsistency between\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u2018book\u2019 knowledge, diaspora knowledge, and in-country realities, and the\u003Cbr \/\u003E\noverall value of the perspective of interaction with diaspora members.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EBIO:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThomas arrived in Atlanta by way of Vancouver, British Columbia, where\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nhe earned a master\u0027s degree in computer science; Accra, Ghana, where he\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nvolunteered with the Ghanaian Judicial Service; and St. John\u0027s,\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nNewfoundland, his home town. \u00a0He studies the role of ICTs in\u003Cbr \/\u003E\ninternational development, and is currently involved in a project with\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nthe Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Liberia, which seeks to\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nemploy new media technologies in the service of national reconciliation\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nfollowing Liberia\u0027s protracted civil war. \u00a0He also has a strong\u003Cbr \/\u003E\ninterest in how to design computer interfaces for non-literate users.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ECarl Di Salvo\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nNourishing the Ground for Sustainable HCI: Considerations from Ecologically Engaged Art\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nCarl DiSalvo, Kirsten Boehner, Nicholas A. Knouf, and Phoebe Sengers\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EABSTRACT: \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nSustainable HCI is now a recognized area of human-computer\u003Cbr \/\u003E\ninteraction drawing from a variety of disciplinary approaches,\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nincluding the arts. How might HCI researchers working on sustainability\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nproductively understand the discourses and practices of ecologically\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nengaged art as a means of enriching their own activities? We argue that\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nan understanding of both the history of ecologically engaged art, and\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nthe art-historical and critical discourses surrounding it, provide a\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nfruitful entry-point into a more critically aware sustainable HCI. We\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nillustrate this through a consideration of frameworks from the arts,\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nlooking specifically at how these frameworks act more as generative\u003Cbr \/\u003E\ndevices than prescriptive recipes. Taking artistic influences seriously\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nwill require a concomitant rethinking of sustainable HCI standpoints \u2013\u003Cbr \/\u003E\na potentially useful exercise for HCI research in general.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EBIO:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nCarl DiSalvo an Assistant Professor of Digital Media in the School of\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nLiterature, Communication and Culture at the Georgia Institute of\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nTechnology in Atlanta, Georgia.
