Record attendance
Record your attendance on Canvas using the assignment for that week's speaker

Thanks to the Stanford Computer Forum and CGOE, whose support helps make this seminar possible.

Non-Stanford Audience Members
The seminar is open to the public, and you are welcome to join us in person. We cannot livestream lectures outside of Stanford, but talk recordings are generally made available within a couple weeks on our YouTube playlist.

Disability Accomodations
If you need a disability-related accommodation, please contact the Diversity & Access office at disability.access@stanford.edu and 650-725-0326. The office requests that you contact them by one week in advance of the event.

CS547 Students
If enrolled Stanford students wish to attend the seminar regularly, they can receive one unit of credit by enrolling in CS 547. We expect enrolled students to attend seminars in person because this helps establish a warm and welcoming atmosphere for our invited speakers.  At the seminar, you will receive an attendance code that you must submit online to record your in-person attendance.  Submit the weekly attendance form on Canvas (Attendance forms can be found under the Quizzes tab). Students have one week to complete each attendance form. 

We understand that sometimes students have events, intense periods, or fall ill: for this reason, we allow up to two seminars to be watched remotely via the recordings, which can be found on Canvas via Panopto. If you are using one of your remote lectures, you must still submit the Canvas assignment, but instead of the attendance code you write a brief two-paragraph report on the talk that describes your favorite moment from the talk and one question you would have liked to ask the speaker. If a speaker is remote (Zoom talk) instead of in person, live attendance during the webinar counts as in-person attendance. If circumstances result in you missing more than two in-person seminars, you can still earn credit by watching two seminars for each additional one that you missed: (1) the original seminar that you missed, recorded; and (2) one live HCI Group seminar - either an HCI Seminar lecture or HCI Lunch in a future quarter. Email cs547@cs.stanford.edu to report on your makeup seminar, instead of using the attendance form.

CGOE and NDO students have blanket approval to watch all lectures remotely. The two freebie remote seminars are otherwise meant to be all-inclusive of travel, interviews, illness, and so on. If you enroll late, any lectures you missed will count against the two freebies that you get to watch non-live. If you have an OAE letter allowing additional absences, send it to the course staff at cs547@cs.stanford.edu at the beginning of the quarter and we add additional remote seminars per your letter. If you have athletic travel, the first two missed seminars due to travel will be your two freebies, and we will grant additional remote seminars if you miss more than two seminars due to travel. If you have an extended health issue, please reach out to the course staff.

We videotape the seminar and post the videos to YouTube, to record the history of HCI as it unfolds and to support wide dissemination of cutting edge HCI work. Video cameras located in the back of the room will capture the presentations. When you attend the seminar in person, please note: while the cameras are positioned with the intention of recording only the instructor, occasionally a part of your image might be incidentally captured. Before the video is made public, editors will review the recordings and blur student images. Occasionally, your voice might also be incidentally captured. If you have questions, please contact a member of the teaching team.
