Human Work Interaction Design: An Overview

Abstract

In this paper, we review research in the emerging practice and research field of Human Work Interaction Design (HWID). We present a HWID framework, and a sample of 54 HWID related papers from workshops, conferences and journals from the period 2009-2014. We group the papers into six topical groups, and then attempt to map these groups to the framework to find research gaps for future research. We find that the groups of papers cover all areas of the framework well for a variety of work and leisure domains. The area in strongest need for more research papers is the development of the holistic framework itself. Furthermore, much focus has been on studying design sketching or implemented systems-in-use, while little attention has been paid to mature design (prototypes) or early implementation (content templates). In conclusion, we recommend an update to the framework so that it can be also useful for research in prototyping and early organizational implementation.

Automating Engineering Educational Practical Electronics Laboratories for Designing Engaging Learning Experiences

“…Further discussion on developing guidelines for such learning aids are required. Research studies discussed by Gonçalves et al (2015) [20] present an overview on user experiences through the use of smart and pervasive technologies to improve the quality of human-workspace interactions in various contexts including education. These studies broadly fall under human-work interaction design framework [21] that urge a need to explore possibilities of utilizing emerging information and communication technologies to improve user's interaction with workspace and its related nuances.…”

Unexpected Artifact – A Modding Interface Design

“…A main objective of the WG13.6 as defined in 2012 is the analysis of this complexity and its relationships between extensive empirical work do mains studies and HCI designs [10]. For detailed information about HWID see: Frederica Gonçalves, Pedro Campos and Torkil Clemmensen [11] who use a HWID framework to present a literature review of 54 papers from HWID workshops, conferences and journals from the period 2009-2014.…”
