External Activities
External examining
I am currently external examiner for:
- MSc and MRes programmes in Future Interactive Technologies at the FITLab at the University of Wales, Swansea.
- M364 Fundamentals of Interaction Design module offered by the Open University
HCI Disciplinary Commons
I took part in the HCI Disciplinary Commons which was a community project to capture the teaching practice of HCI lecturers. Teaching practice is sorely undervalued in higher education despite being officially a third of our employment commitment and unofficially usually being substantially more than that. I produced a portfolio called The Ghosts of Departed Qualities that is my thoughts and reflections on developing the HCI module when I first arrived at York.
Reviewing and Organising Committees
I have done reviews for various journals and conferences including:
- HCI Journal
- Interacting with Computers
- Int. J. of Human Computer Studies
- Software - Practice and Experience
- BCS HCI conference series since 2001
- ACM CHI conference series since 2001
- Mathematical Knowledge Management conferences since 2001
Additionally I have been on the organising committes of the BCS HCI conference (2004-2006), Mathematical User Interfaces workshop (2002-2008), Mathematical Knowledge Management, co-chair in 2006 and Trustee (2006-2008), User Interfaces for Theorem Provers (2005, 2007, 2008).
