    Adopting Enterprise 2.0: A Case Study on Microblogging
    (Mensch & Computer 2009: Grenzenlos frei!?, 2009) Böhringer, Martin; Richter, Alexander
    Microblogging is currently one of the most discussed topics on the World Wide Web. The success of services like Twitter raises questions about their potential for organisations. In this case study we provide insights from an early adopter who implemented his own microblogging system. We aim to explain what use cases in professional contexts can look like and, primarily, to suggest a more precise description of what enterprise microblogging is.

    Beyond Hallway Chats ? Negotiating Content Awareness in Hybrid Work Practices
    (Proceedings of Mensch und Computer 2024, 2024) Landowski, Mirjam; Effert, Jana-Sophie; Günther, Franziska; Tebart, Markus; Moerike, Frauke
    Deciding where to work in hybrid environments involves various factors beyond work-life balance. Awareness of colleagues’ tasks arises from overheard conversations, screen glimpses, and other informal exchanges in the office. This knowledge sharing is crucial for effective work. However, knowledge workers navigate between the office, home, and mobile work, leading to constant re-negotiations of hybrid work environments. This article uses data from ethnographic observations and qualitative interviews to illustrate how knowledge workers outweigh decisions for work location and strategically use informal office interactions to advance tasks on-site. Although the body of research on awareness and knowledge work is by now substantial, the spontaneous knowledge exchange in everyday practices is under-explored. This study addresses two questions: (I) what factors influence decisions between mobile and office work, and (II) how on-site practices generate different types of awareness that support task progress.

    CoFind: a browser plugin for investigating co-located collaborative web search
    (Mensch und Computer 2020 - Tagungsband, 2020) Fuhrmann, Robert; Lehmann, Anke; Mitschick, Annett; Langner, Ricardo; Dachselt, Raimund
    Group awareness is a prominent challenge in the field of co-located collaboration in Multi-display Environments (MDE), where several personal and shared devices are operated simultaneously by multiple users. With a focus on Collaborative Information Seeking (CIS) and particularly different levels of information sharing, our overall goal is to investigate aspects that influence this group awareness as well as the general group performance in such MDE. In this work, we present the conceptual foundation and approach of a research tool, called CoFind. Developed as a lightweight web browser plugin, which connects collaborators by sharing information resources, it provides comprehensive data and activity logging in the context of user studies and their evaluation. Based on an initial lab experiment, we also present first insights on the feasibility of our approach and the utility of our developed tool, allowing to plan and carry out further user studies in this challenging research field.

    Computer-Supported Cooperative Work – Revisited
    (i-com: Vol. 20, No. 3, 2021) Bullinger-Hoffmann, Angelika; Koch, Michael; Möslein, Kathrin; Richter, Alexander
    Due to the COVID-19 lockdowns and the related mandated work for home, we have seen a massive increase of the use of collaboration tools in various work settings in the last 18 months. Whereas this might have been a new terrain for some, IT-supported work and the related research domain Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) have been around for decades. In this article we briefly review what CSCW has to offer for the currently increasing demand in setting up remote collaboration – and share our own observations about what happened when collaboration tools have been introduced in the pandemic. As a summary, we present some learnings from the experience – both for the current state of CSCW research and for future work.

    The future of interactive information radiators for knowledge workers: How will knowledge workers consume ambient awareness information in the future?
    (i-com: Vol. 23, No. 2, 2024) Koch, Michael; Ott, Florian; Richter, Alexander
    Information Radiators (IRs) provide context-specific pieces of information in a semi-public place where a group of people can see it while working or passing-by. They can simplify information sharing “out-of-the-box”, foster awareness and socialization, create serendipity and enhance collaboration. Recent sociotechnical developments such as the establishment of permanent hybrid work settings as well as advances in the area of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) such as the emergence of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are likely to impact how IRs are being used – or even challenge their usefulness. In this article we discuss those developments and their possible implications for the design and use of IRs in the context of knowledge work in the next decades. We argue that IRs will probably remain an important part of future office environments providing awareness, supporting serendipity and building a situated social place for matchmaking as well as informal communication. Using new display and interaction technologies (such as AR) they might even grow in importance by enabling fluid work scenarios.

    Nachhaltigkeit gestalten: Aktivierung der Generation Z für ökologisches Engagement durch Persuasive Computing
    (Proceedings of Mensch und Computer 2024, 2024) Hermann, Julia; Mäder, Aiden Danny; Dogangün, Aysegül
    Angesichts des dringenden Bedarfs, nachhaltiges Verhalten in der Gesellschaft zu fördern, gewinnen Technologien zur Unterstützung positiver Verhaltensänderungen an Bedeutung. Generation Z, bekannt für ihre technologische Affinität und ihr Umweltbewusstsein, steht im Mittelpunkt unserer Betrachtung. Unser Paper berichtete den Einsatz persuasiver Computing-Strategien zur Förderung ökologischer Nachhaltigkeit innerhalb dieser Generation. Im Rahmen einer Lehrveranstaltung zu User Experience für mobile Endgeräte entwickelten Studierende der Generation Z App- und haptische Prototypen anhand von Anforderungen ihrer Altersgenoss:innen. Interviews und Evaluationen zeigten Gründe für Zurückhaltung gegenüber umweltfreundlichen Lebensstilen und lieferten Implikationen für das Design persuasiver Technologien. Die Ergebnisse bieten erste Einblicke in die Gestaltung von Technologien, die Generation Z für Umwelt- und Nachhaltigkeitsthemen mobilisieren können.

    SocialWall: Photo-based Participation in the Life of Loved Ones
    (Mensch und Computer 2016 - Tagungsband, 2016) Wallbaum, Torben; Heuten, Wilko; Boll, Susanne
    Social interaction, the participation in the life of loved ones and the exchange of experiences and feelings are key needs for human beings. Especially for families living over a distance, it is essential to stay up-to-date and to participate in important moments in life. In this paper, we present requirements, a prototype and results from a first field study to evaluate the design of a photo-wall.

    User Tracking for Collaboration on Interactive Wall-Sized Displays
    (Mensch & Computer 2013: Interaktive Vielfalt, 2013) Wiechers, Moritz; Nolte, Alexander; Ksoll, Michael; Herrmann, Thomas; Kienle, Andrea
    To support collaboration on wall-sized interactive displays we developed a system that is capable of distinguishing multiple users collaboratively interacting with a large surface at the same time. In order to allow for seamless switches between different modes of collaboration, the system uses camera based tracking that requires no additional hardware. The system also allows for exploiting the position of a user in front of the screen in order to show information about the users context directly in front of them. This information could e.g. indicate which item is currently used by whom during a collaborative session, so that all participants can coordinate their actions. We present a study in which we assess the quality of the distinction mechanism, show possibilities for improvement and describe how awareness of the actions of others could enhance collaboration.

    Who Should Get My Private Data in Which Case? Evidence in the Wild
    (Mensch und Computer 2021 - Tagungsband, 2021) Herbert, Franziska; Schmidbauer-Wolf, Gina Maria; Reuter, Christian
    As a result of the ongoing digitalization of our everyday lives, the amount of data produced by everyone is steadily increasing. This happens through personal decisions and items, such as the use of social media or smartphones, but also through more and more data acquisition in public spaces, such as e.g., Closed Circuit Television. Are people aware of the data they are sharing? What kind of data do people want to share with whom? Are people aware if they have Wi-Fi, GPS, or Bluetooth activated as potential data sharing functionalities on their phone? To answer these questions, we conducted a representative online survey as well as face-to-face interviews with users in Germany.We found that most users wanted to share private data on premise with most entities, indicating that willingness to share data depends on who has access to the data. Almost half of the participants would be more willing to share data with specific entities (state bodies & rescue forces) in the event that an acquaintance is endangered. For Wi-Fi and GPS the frequencies of self-reported and actual activation on the smartphone are almost equal, but 17% of participants were unaware of the Bluetooth status on their smartphone. Our research is therefore in line with other studies suggesting relatively low privacy awareness of users.
