  • Practices for Engineering Gender-Inclusivity into Software

    Creator:
    Hilderbrand, Claudia
    Abstract:
    Although the need for gender-inclusivity in software itself is gaining attention among both SE researchers and SE practitioners, and methods have been published to help, little has been reported on how to make such methods work in real-world settings. For example, how do busy software practitioners use such methods in...

  • The ChildsPlay Approach: Evaluating an Experimental Approach for Teaching Introductory CS at University

    Creator:
    Nelson, Aiden J.
    Abstract:
    University students first learning about computer science (CS) can be intimidated and frustrated by programming. In addition, the general-purpose programming languages chosen for introducing students to programming contain several features that have the potential to overwhelm and distract them from focused curriculum topics, which can lead to reduced retention of...

  • Fixing Inclusivity Bugs: Information Processing Styles and Learning Styles

    Creator:
    Steine-Hanson, Zoe K.
    Abstract:
    Most software systems today do not support cognitive diversity. Further, because of differences in problem-solving styles that cluster by gender, software that poorly supports cognitive diversity can also embed gender biases. To help software professionals fix gender bias “bugs” related to people’s problem-solving styles for information processing and learning of...

  • Investigating the Impact of Teaching Inclusive Design Concepts on Ecampus Students’ Mindsets

    Creator:
    Garcia, Rosalinda
    Abstract:
    Although computer science (CS) education researchers and practitioners have found ways to improve CS classroom inclusivity, few researchers have considered inclusivity of online CS education. We have begun developing a new approach that we term “embedded inclusive design” to address inclusive CS. The essence of the approach is to integrate...

  • ASIC for real time data authentication

    Creator:
    Anjum, Vaseem
    Abstract:
    Authentication is a means of developing an electronic signature that works like a written signature. It assumes that your data is publicly known but nevertheless ensures that the message is not tampered with and that you have an audit trail. This project discusses the techniques and concepts used to design...

  • Improving User Mental Models of XAI Systems with Inclusive Design Approaches

    Creator:
    Hamid, Md Montaser
    Abstract:
    Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) systems aim to improve users’ understanding of AI but rarely consider the inclusivity aspects of XAI. Without inclusive approaches, improving explanations might not work well for everyone. This study investigates leveraging users’ diverse problem-solving styles as an inclusive strategy to fix an XAI prototype, with the...

  • Inclusive Software Design and Its Methods for Beyond-WIMP User Interfaces

    Creator:
    Fallatah, Abrar
    Abstract:
    While digital inclusivity researchers and software practitioners have been trying to address exclusion biases in Windows, Icons, Menus, and Pointers (WIMP) user interfaces (UIs) for a long time, little has been done to investigate if and how inclusive software design and its methods that have been devised for WIMP UIs...

    Abstract:
    New MS in CS students in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science school at OSU are required to file their Program of Study by the end of their 2nd term. Many of them, especially international students, are in a totally new ecosystem, so they find it overwhelming to choose the...

  • Pedagogical Content Knowledge for Teaching Inclusive Design

    Creator:
    Oleson, Alannah L.
    Abstract:
    Inclusive design is important in today's software industry, but there is little research about how to teach it. In collaboration with 9 teacher-researchers across 8 U.S. universities and more than 400 computer and information science students, we embarked upon an Action Research investigation to gather insights into the pedagogical content...

  • Mental Models of Mere Mortals with Explanations of Reinforcement Learning

    Creator:
    Anderson, Andrew A.
    Abstract:
    How should reinforcement learning (RL) agents explain themselves to humans not trained in AI? To gain insights into this question, we conducted a 124 participant, four-treatment experiment to compare participants’ mental models of an RL agent in the context of a simple Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game. The four treatments isolated...
