    Action Replay is a practical tool that enables facilitators, coaches, assessors and trainers to gather and analyse patterns of interpersonal interaction.

    AR is a highly practical tool for recording, reviewing and analysing individual and sub-group interactions, and patterns of behaviour within groups. The degree to which the user can decide and define who is to be observed, what is to be observed, where the observation is to happen and how the results are presented and used, makes this a very versatile tool in any setting that requires structured observation of human interaction.

    Into the wild: challenges and opportunities for field trial methods.
    roceedings of the International Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems May
    Field trials of experimental systems ‘in the wild’ have
    developed into a standard method within HCI - testing new
    systems with groups of users in relatively unconstrained
    settings outside of the laboratory. In this paper we discuss
    methodological challenges in running user trials. Using a
    ‘trial of trials’ we examined the practices of investigators and
    participants - documenting ‘demand characteristics’, where
    users adjust their behaviour to fit the expectations of those
    running the trial, the interdependence of how trials are run
    and the result they produce, and how trial results can be
    dependent on the insights of a subset of trial participants. We

    Five design challenges for human computation.
    In proceeding of Proceedings of the th Nordic Conference on HumanComputer Interaction Jun
    Human computation systems, which draw upon human
    competencies in order to solve hard computational problems, represent a growing interest within HCI. Despite the
    numerous technical demonstrations of human computation
    systems, however, there are few design guidelines or
    frameworks for researchers or practitioners to draw upon
    when constructing such a system. Based upon findings from
    our own human computation system, and drawing upon
    those published within HCI, and from other scientific and
    engineering literatures, as well as systems deployed commercially, we offer a framework of five challenging issues
    of relevance to designers of systems with human computation elements: designing the mot
