Day 1 | Dec 18, 2020

Day 2 | Dec 19, 2020

** Note: All times are in Taipei local time (UTC+8) **
We have 7 groups of mentors and mentees who may join either in person or remotely. In most cases, one onsite mentor (henceforth onsite) will pair up with one to two remote mentors (henceforth online) and a co-organizer (as a back-up mentor) for a group of 4-6 mentees.
The mentoring activity will be divided into two stages on the first day, Dec 18: Individual session or mentoring session 1 (2:00 pm - 3:00 pm): during this stage, each mentor will mentor two mentees either in-person or online. Make sure that you have provided your individual meeting link (e.g., your personal Zoom or Google meet link) to the pairing table which is shared with the mentees, so that your mentees can follow the meeting link to join the individual meeting session if they’re not collocated with you. During the session, students can present their research ideas and the mentor can give general and project-specific suggestions.You may also contact your mentees to find a different time prior to the school to meet, if the official time to meet is not working to your personal schedule. However, the personal meeting should happen before the school in order to identify candidates for the final presentation in Day 2.
Joint session (3:00 pm - 4:20 pm): during this stage, the group, including onsite and online mentors and mentees, will join our main Zoom meeting session first, and then will be assigned to a breakout room to share, discuss, and brainstorm how their research can have more CSCW touch. Mentors and mentees should also discuss to nominate a final presenter per team to present in the final presentation session in Day 2.
Joint session (3:00 pm - 4:00 pm): during this stage, the group, including onsite and online mentors and mentees, will gather together to share, discuss, and brainstorm how their research can have more CSCW touch.
On the second day, Dec 19:
Nominated students (one nominee per group) will need to present their revised research with the whole school in the group presentation session (3:20 - 5:00 pm). We’ll form a panel of 3-5 mentors in the second day to attend the session, listening to the presentations and providing final feedback to the whole school.

The social time is reserved for student participants to have an opportunity to introduce themselves and to socialize with other attendees in the School. It is our goal to engage both on-site and remote students in this session. We’ll provide instructions on how to attend the social time in-person and remotely.

The three tutorials will be provided by experienced researchers and leaders in CSCW to cover important topics and approaches. The three tutorials this year are:
(1) “Community informatics: How information technologies and the information society have enabled, undermined and transformed local community” by John Carroll,
(2) "How to turn an idea into a study?"" by Jih-Hsuan Tammy Lin, and
(3) “Issues and methods of studying human-agent interaction” by Susan Fussell.

The mentoring/consulting session consists of student presentations and group discussions with experienced CSCW researchers. The mentors will lead the discussions and give concrete advice on how to frame the work, design an experiment, and what kind of analysis to carry out, etc. The mentors are world-renowned CSCW researchers from Asia or have roots in Asia.

“Career development panel” features experienced Asian researchers and practitioners to discuss various career paths based on their experiences.

The venue for the CSCW Asia Winter Winter School is at: Library Conference Hall (B1) @ National Taiwan Normal University, 162, Section 1, Heping E. Rd., Taipei City 106, Taiwan.
