Hey Everybody,

I woke up early this morning to prepare myself for class today. I Learned how to connect Mendenly with ShareLatex and tips on how we can improve our bios on ShareLatex. Dr. Siek also taught us about press releases and how we can should correctly edit articles to give more insight on the article. We also learned how to connect our email to mendenly as well. After Lunch, We worked with Tableau which helped us carry data over from the spreadsheets to create the visual charts. Ben helped me create two tables to help compare heart rates of patients over a period of time. We also completed our Arudino projects. Me, Gustavo and Eugene worked on it after class and i think we have a good project to show tomorrow. We then had Dr. Shin and Cassie show their presentations for the ProHealth Students to round out the day.

Maestre, J.F., MacLeod, H., Connelly, C.L., Dunbar, J.C., Beck, J., Siek, K., Shih, P.C.: Defining through expansion: Conducting asynchronous remote communities (arc) research with stigmatized groups. In: ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (2018)

Summary:

The paper explains the effectiveness that the ARC Research method can provide for the stigmatized group. There was 19 Participants and their age ranges was from 18-60 and the number of years that they were living with HIV was from 1-30 years. Facebook was used as communication for the study and it helped allow the participants to form relationships and receive support from one another. The ARC allowed researchers to collect data without constriction.
