The aftermath of a crypto-ransomware attack at a large academic institution
(USENIX, 2018-08)In 2016, a large North American university was subject to a significant crypto-ransomware attack and did not pay the ransom. We conducted a survey with 150 respondents and interviews with 30 affected students, staff, and ... -
CHI PLAYGUE: A Mobile Conference Networking Game
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-11-06)Modern professional networking relies on social media. To take advantage of this fact, we present CHI PLAYGUE, a conference game designed to facilitate interaction among strangers and encourage social networking to create ... -
CLEVER: A Trivia and Strategy Game for Enterprise Knowledge Learning
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-10-16)Knowledge management (KM) includes the acquisition, sharing, and dissemination of knowledge within a company. The problem with many enterprise KM systems is that they are complex and hardly used, because workers lack ... -
CLEVER: Gamification and Enterprise Knowledge Learning
(ACM, 2016-10-16)This paper describes the design and a preliminary implementation study of a gamified knowledge management system (KMS) that supports the learning component within knowledge management (KM). KM includes acquiring social ... -
Curioscape: A Curiosity-driven Escape Room Board Game
(CHI PLAY '20: The Annual Symposium on Computer-Human Interaction in Play, 2020-11-02)Are you frustrated when a board game has too many rules? Do you want to jump straight into the game and just play? We created Curioscape, an escape room board game that focuses on the idea of whether eliminating a rule ... -
Elements of Gameful Design Emerging from User Preferences
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2017-10-15)Several studies have developed models to explain player preferences. These models have been developed for digital games; however, they have been frequently applied in gameful design (i.e., designing non-game applications ... -
Food Literacy while Shopping: Motivating Informed Food Purchasing Behaviour with a Situated Gameful App
(ACM, 2020-04-25)Establishing healthy eating patterns early in life is critical and has implications for lifelong health. Situated interventions are a promising approach to improve eating patterns. How- ever, HCI research has emphasized ... -
A Framework and Taxonomy of Videogame Playing Preferences
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2017-10-15)Player preferences for different gaming styles or game elements has been a topic of interest in human-computer interaction for over a decade. However, current models suggested by the extant literature are generally based ... -
The Gamification User Types Hexad Scale
(ACM, 2016-10-16)Several studies have indicated the need for personalizing gamified systems to users' personalities. However, mapping user personality onto design elements is difficult. Hexad is a gamification user types model that attempts ... -
Heuristic Evaluation for Gameful Design
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-10-16)Despite the emergence of many gameful design methods in the literature, there is a lack of evaluation methods specific to gameful design. To address this gap, we present a new set of guidelines for heuristic evaluation of ... -
Investigating the Impact of Cooperative Communication Mechanics on Player Performance in Portal 2
(Canadian Human-Computer Communications Society, 2016-06)Cooperative communication mechanics, such as avatar gestures or in-game visual pointers, enable player collaboration directly through gameplay. We currently lack a deeper understanding of how players use cooperative ... -
Lightweight Games User Research for Indies and Non-Profit Organizations
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-05-07)The Games User Research (GUR) community has thrived at CHI with four workshops and a course since CHI 2012; all of these were well attended. In line with the #chi4good spirit this year, the GUR field must advance towards ... -
Personalization in Serious and Persuasive Games and Gamified Interactions
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2015-10)Serious and persuasive games and gamified interactions have become popular in the last years, especially in the realm of behavior change support systems. They have been used as tools to support and influence human behavior ... -
Personalizing Persuasive Strategies in Gameful Systems to Gamification User Types
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2018-04-21)Persuasive gameful systems are effective tools for motivating behaviour change. Research has shown that tailoring these systems to individuals can increase their efficacy; however, there is little knowledge on how to ... -
Recommender Systems for Personalized Gamification
(ACM, 2017-07-09)Gamification has been used in a variety of application domains to promote behaviour change. Nevertheless, the mechanisms behind it are still not fully understood. Recent empirical results have shown that personalized ... -
SIGCHI Games: The Scope of Games and Play Research at CHI
