Drexel University's College of Computing & Informatics presents its
fifth event in its new monthly MS in Information Webinar Series:
"Online Collaboration and Other Dangerous Feats" Abstract:
Participation in online spaces promises new forms of productivity,
civic discourse, and interpersonal connection. But in an online world
where people regularly encounter harassment and disinformation,
participation can be difficult and even dangerous for some. In this
short talk, we'll explore the online world as an uneven playing field
where some feel safe while others feel excluded and talk about the
ways that human-computer interaction (HCI) and/or user experience (UX)
might be able to help. This webinar is presented by Associate
Professor and Director of the MS in Information Program, Andrea Forte,
PhD . This online event is free and open to all. Participants will
receive login information for the Zoom meeting upon registration. This
session will be recorded and available for later viewing on Drexel
CCI's YouTube channel . Click here to register About the Webinar
