From the HCI Lab at Carleton

The most recent issue of the Lab's newsletter looks at Emotion, Aesthetics and Visual Literacy. Of interest:

Christine O'Corner's Using Activity Theory as a Framework in a User Needs Analysis;
An Interview with Bonnie A. Nardi on the importance and uses of activity theory;
Karin Lindgaard's article on Emotion, Reason and the Dichotomies That Influence Technology;
And an article by one of my committee members, Gitte Lindgaard, on The Tricky Relationship Between User Satisfaction, Aesthetics, Actual and Perceived Usability.
