WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
Social connectedness is described as the momentary experience of
belonging and relatedness with others and is often considered one of
the goals of social media technologies. We seek participants from
various domains for an interdisciplinary workshop on designing and
evaluating affective aspects of sociable media to support social
connectedness. Position papers are invited on the following topics:
(1) understanding and measuring social connectedness (including
qualitative and quantitative approaches)
(2) types of content mediated by sociable media to foster users’
social connectedness (including issues of privacy management)
(3) design experiences and interaction affordances of connectedness
systems
(4) case studies that involve the design of awareness systems for
social connectedness, or studies where social connectedness is used as
a medium to support other goal
The goal of this workshop is connecting researchers from social
science and design disciplines to foster future collaboration and
resource exchange. Through our discussion, we hope to crystallize a
concrete research agenda for investigating social connectedness
systems. A concrete outcome of the workshop will be a proposal for a
special issue of a journal on the topic of designing and evaluating
social connectedness systems that the organizers will submit to
appropriate venues. Interested parties are invited to submit a
position paper of 2-4 pages, in the CHI Extended Abstracts format, to [log in to unmask]
