“…This approach represents a different stance with respect to the extensive use of awareness feedback systems [6,26,4]. In our case, the system provides a directive illocutionary message that is intended to make the recipient perform a certain action.…”

“…Other researchers have investigated the use of tabletop technologies to influence social dynamics during group conversations [26,29,13,14,4]. These interactive tables are combined with sensors for monitoring individual and group behavior, such as vocal activity, head orientation and body fidgeting.…”

“…The multimodal information is used to generate unobtrusive visual feedback about the dynamics of the group conversation with the aim of supporting with various degrees of awareness, the social interactions of the users involved in the task. The visualizations include information about each individual's behavior, including quantitative measures of the physical interaction with the system [14], analysis of the vocal activity, such as the personal cumulative speaking time since the beginning of the meeting or the duration of the current turn [4], and also patterns of visual attention, such as the attention given to other participants as a listener or the attention received while speaking [26]. The visualizations are generally presented in a graphical representation displayed in realtime on the table's surface, using projected display [29,26] or a LED board embedded on the surface [4].…”

In this paper, we present a system that acts as an automatic facilitator by supporting the flow of communication in a group conversation activity. The system monitors the group members' non-verbal behavior and promotes balanced participation, giving targeted directives to the participants through peripheral displays. We describe an initial study to compare two ways of influencing participants' social dynamics: overt directives, explicit recommendations of social actions displayed in the form of text; or subtle directives, where the same recommendations are provided in an implicit manner. Our study indicates that, when the participants understand how the implicit messages work, the subtle facilitation is regarded as more useful than the overt one and it is considered to more positively influence the group behavior.

This paper describes the design and evaluation of a visualization that provides feedback for meeting participants on their social behavior (Social Mirror). Our Social Mirror provides feedback on participation level, interactivity level, and level of agreement. For the evaluation we conducted an experiment where two groups of four participants each took part in a meeting with and in a meeting without the Social Mirror. The results showed that the participants could easily extract information from the Social Mirror without being distracted from the topic of discussion during the meeting. Our results further suggest that the Social Mirror leads to changes in the social behavior of the participant; in particularly due to the agreement visualization. Moreover most participants prefer meetings with the presence of the Social Mirror.

Abstract. Inspiring and maintaining student participation in large classes can be a difficult task. Students benefit from an active experience as it helps them better understand the course material. However, it's easy to stay silent. Opportunities to participate in conversation allow students to question and learn. The Fragmented Social Mirror (FSM) provides students with the ability to anonymously initiate classroom dialog with the lecturer. The system encourages participation by enabling expressive anonymous feedback to reduce evaluation anxiety. The FSM further catalyzes participation by allowing for many simultaneous participants. In this paper, we introduce the FSM as a classroom device, discuss its design, and describe a pilot test of the interface. Initial results indicate a promising direction for future feedback systems.
