Engagement by design

Abstract

The focus of this workshop is on the development of interfaces for long-term, voluntary use, spanning dozens, if not thousands, of interactions, and in which maintenance of user adherence to a desired interaction usage pattern is of primary interest. Domains in which these issues are important include: wellness applications, such as long-term exercise or diet promotion; web site "stickiness"; multi-session intelligent tutoring systems; and computer games. This one-day CHI'09 workshop brings together researchers from a wide spectrum of disciplines who share a common interest in finding theoretical frameworks, models, and design methodologies to support longitudinal HCI.
