Paper Week Recap

This last week I presented seven research papers from the HCI field and also threw in some new comic strips. I hope you have enjoyed it and hopefully learned something from the paper summaries. If you liked the format, I think I'll try to every now and then post another research paper summary together with new comic strips. Let me know what you think in the comments!

Here are some quick links back to each of the posts. Which one was your favorite paper? favorite comic strip?
Conflict in Wikipedia
Social Psychology Applied to Online Communities
Designing for Micro-credit Groups in India
Website Credibility
Direct Video Manipulation
Alone Together in World of Warcraft
Usability Evaluation Harmful?

I liked the paper week very much. Posting a research paper summary and a comic strip every once in a while sounds like a very good idea (it will get you to draw more comic strips for us! well, the learning aspect is also fun) The last three papers were the ones I found most interesting, I think, but my favorite comic strip is probably the one for "Designing for Micro-credit Groups in India".

I like the comic strip of --Designing for Micro-credit Groups in India-- the most. Your Comic strips r like wonderful dessert after a nice lunch(paper)-knowledge with fun:) Good idea.
Keep posting!!

Wow, so far that comic strip is in the lead. And it was the hardest one for me to come up with. Thanks for the great feedback!

well trying to comment on 7 good areas is difficult if you're just gonna say the same thing. So I'll comment here.

Great Work, you really did touch some subjects. Wikipedia, websit credibility, World of Warcraft, etc. The comics are great, my fav was the direct comic strip manipulation, second fav was wikipedia, and the one that was wierd was the World of Warcraft one, it was a bit odd, yet very funny
