We live in an attention economy where human attention is harvested, commoditized, and traded as a scarce and valuable resource. Information and communication technologies (ICT) use an evolving branch of psychological research called behavior design to manipulate our attention and behavior. Consequences of this affect what we do with our time and also our capacity for reflection and self-awareness, which has lasting effects across our life and relationships. This dissertation looks to attention restoration theory (ART) and participatory design (PD) for help in addressing the harms created by the attention economy. ART is an empirically validated theory that addresses how attention can be depleted and also restored. PD gives us an experiential and democratic framing for helping people have a say in the technology that affects their lives. Using PD to co-design restorative environments may help us restore and protect our attention on both individual and collective levels. The work of this dissertation uses PD, visual elicitation, phenomenological interviews, and focus groups to explore (1) how the design process itself might be restorative, (2) how co-designers' behaviors with ICTs change in the process of designing for others, and (3) how institutions might play a systemic, scalable role in protecting our attention. Doing this will involve analyzing data collected in two undergraduate design classes that used PD to design restorative environments on the University of Washington’s campus, and translating that curriculum to a relevant and feasible offering for libraries for and with library practitioners.]]>

http://becktench.com/hci/presentations/ Designing Compelling User Experiences (in Higher Ed) is a presentation I proposed for the HighEdWebDev 2007 Conference. The presentation covers eight information exploration/user research methods that can be implemented quickly and with no cost (exceptions include time and a few basic office supplies). I start out by asking the question “What makes an experience compelling?” and try to answer that with input from things far older than the web (namely evolution). Then, using the information domain of “washing laundry,” I explore four different methods of information architecture that I discovered from the MAYA Design folks at IDEA 2007 to learn how to organize and brainstorm an information space. After that, we bring a real user into the mix and talk about four methods of user research that have been particularly helpful in my redesign approaches at Pratt. Finally, I try to put everything into perspective by telling a personal story of a compelling experience I had getting a haircut and how trust plays a big part (bigger than research?) in the design of an experience.]]>
