direction for HCI.
alt.chi | i, the Device: observing human Aversion from
an hci Perspective
Ricardo Jota, Pedro Lopes, Joaquim Jorge, INESC-ID, Portugal
We describe our experience in designing a system that would
render a human operators obsolete and discuss how user aversion

for fire Preparedness
Yoko Akama, RMIT University, Australia
Ann Light, Northumbria University, UK
Study of improvisational practices illustrates weakness of design
research accounts that stress reproducibility. Candid reflection
encourages learning about why and what we design, as well as
how.
alt.chi | The iron man Phenomenon, Participatory
culture, & future Augmented Reality Technologies
Isabel Pedersen, Luke Simcoe, Ryerson University, Canada
Case study on how the Iron Man phenomenon causes audiences

PAPeR | habit as an explanation of Participation in an
online Peer-production community
Donghee Wohn, Alcides Velasquez, Tor Bjornrud, Michigan State
University, USA
Cliff Lampe, University of Michigan, USA
We examine the construct of habit as a type of non-conscious
behavior in online peer-production communities; and how
motivations and habits explain people’s use of specific features.
PAPeR | evaluating compliance-Without-Pressure
Techniques for increasing Participation in online
communities
Mikhil Masli, Loren Terveen, University of Minnesota, USA
Field study and follow-up survey evaluating two compliancewithout-pressure
techniques in a working social production
community. Can assist researchers and practitioners boost
participation in online communities they manage.
PAPeR | social Desirability Bias and self-Reports of
motivation: A cross-cultural study of Amazon
mechanical Turk in the us and india
Judd Antin, Yahoo! Research, USA
Aaron Shaw, University of California, Berkeley, USA
Demonstrates that survey self-reports of motivation to participate
in crowdsourcing can be inaccurate due to social desirability bias.
Shows differential patterns of motivation and bias between US and
India samples.
noTe | Deploying monoTrans Widgets in the Wild
Chang Hu, Philip Resnik, Yakov Kronrod, Benjamin Bederson,
University of Maryland, USA
Our first attempt to deploy a crowd-sourced monolingual
translation system to the wild finds interesting lesson dealing with
crowds with different sizes simultaneously.
