HCI Community Survey

Activities

We in the HCI community talk a lot about broader impacts, design implications, and informing the public conversation. But we don’t necessarily know what kinds of public communication the HCI community is doing and what you all think is important. We’d love if you’d fill out this brief (validated at ~10 minutes or less), anonymous survey on science communication activities, attitudes, and challenges.

What’s in it for me?
You will see an overview of responses as soon as you finish the survey so you can get a sense of where you stand.  Once data collection is complete, we will send out a report on the status of science outreach in the HCI community.

Who's conducting this survey?
We are HCI researchers at the University of Washington:  professors Gary Hsieh (Human-Centered Design and Engneering) and Katharina Reinecke (Computer Science), PhD student Ridley Jones (Human-Centered Design and Engineering), and high school students Julia Wang
 and Prannay Pradeep.  Please contact Gary at garyhs@uw.edu with any questions.


First, we'd like to get a sense of what you are currently doing and what tools you use.
1. Below is a list of common science communication activities. In the past six months, how often have you done each of them? If you're not sure, use your best guess. *This question is required.
