User Model Logical Comparison ATTRIBUTES!
Decisions and Choices • Machine takes over your decision making! • At the very least filters. • What information do you use to make decisions? WWW
Interactive Segment • Split into groups of 3-5 people. • Spend a few minutes discussing: What aspects of me help answer the question “What should I do next?” • As weird and unexpected as you like! • I will ask you for your outcomes after.
Results What aspects of me help answer the question “What should I do next?”
Hugh and I thought... • Knowledge • Interests • Preferences • Goals – e.g. I want a 2.1 • Needs • Tactics – e.g. better at exams than coursework • Means – e.g. bank balance • Ability – opposite of disability
What should I do next? • Educational system influenced by StumbleUpon? • Rate on more than Like or Dislike • Can/can’t afford it. • Do/don’t have time. • Does/doesn’t meet my goals. • Integrated Procrastination™
Summary • Adaptivity involves personalising experiences for a particular user. • This involves making decisions on the user’s behalf. • What aspects of the user are used in decision making?
Discussion • Questions! • Any more personal aspects that affect decisions? • Do you like the idea of a StumbleUpon-style activity planner?
