This demo shows a system called Dust and Magnet (DnM) that is a general purpose data visualization system. DnM represents data items as iron dust. Each attribute of the data then is a magnet. The system is implemented on a large multi-touch display where the analyst can deploy magnets and drag them around the view. Data points will then be attracted more strongly or weakly depending on that data item's value of the attribute represented by each magnet. This system provides a very hands-on, visceral data exploration experience. |
Ethics in the undergraduate computing curriculum is gaining increasing attention. Computing ethics content involves topics such as algorithmic bias, misinformation, law and regulation, and accessible design. Previous work in this space includes novel activities to present ethics content in the curriculum, discussion of embedding ethics topics into technical courses, and an overview of what is currently being taught. Our research team is conducting a survey of faculty who teach undergraduate computing courses, regardless of whether they currently teach ethics content or not. Through the survey, |
A method for engaging community members in productive discussions about technology with technology designers. Medium probes offer designers and participants a chance for open-ended exploration of design issues related to participants' practices with technology, cultural values, skills, and access level. |
