Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

22. Scenario: Film Showing
A faculty member would like to show a film in its
entirety to a student film club. The showing would
be on college property and supports a college
initiative (Diversity). The company that distributes
the film indicated the faculty member would need
to license the showing for $250. The JCCC library
owns the film and the faculty member assumed he
could legally show the film in any of his classes or to
the club he sponsors. The audience is expected to
be around 35 people.
23. Scenario: Film Showing – Follow-up
Can a faculty member legally show any film in the
classroom under fair use?
What if the DVD/Video is owned by the faculty
member? Can’t it be used in whatever fashion she
wants?
24. Scenario: Textbook Ancillary Materials
Can the free ancillary materials provided by
textbook publishers be used in class whether or not
the accompanying textbook is adopted by the
instructor?
25. Scenario: Textbook Ancillary Materials –
Follow-up
What if a faculty member receives an instructor
desk copy with ancillary materials—textbook in
digital format, study guide as both hard copy and in
digital format, DVD with sample video’s related to
cases in the textbook, and CD that has sample tests,
practice worksheets, and other case files? After
review the faculty member finds these items quite
useful as study tools for students to access as part
of the classroom instruction and assignments, and
therefore would like to “load” elements into
Blackboard or ANGEL for student access. Wouldn’t
fair use enable the instructor to use portions of the
materials without infringing on Copyright?
26. Scenario: Textbook Ancillary Materials –
Follow-up Part 2
A faculty member receives a PowerPoint slideshow
distributed by book publisher. She decides to delete
all of publisher logos and references and then
modify the PowerPoint slideshow extensively but
retain most of the images and text. Is this legal?
27. Scenario: Faculty Work and Work-for-
Hire
A faculty member teaches game programming. In
the process of creating course content, he develops
code that he would like to share on the internet via
http://code.google.com. The instructor asks the
question: Who owns the code? The code was
developed during office hours for use in the
classroom. Does JCCC own the code? If so who
actually has permission to assign the license to
it? The instructor would like to use the MIT open
source license (see
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-
license.php) but wants to be sure he has the legal
right to do so.
28. The legal title to all materials and inventions as
defined in Section 2 above shall be held by
Johnson County Community College when
developed through college support or when
commissioned, provided, however, materials and
inventions produced under grants from the federal
government or other agency, public or
private, shall be subject to the conditions of the
contract or grant with respect to
ownership, distribution and use, and other residual
rights, including net proceeds; and provided
further, ownership to written materials generated
as a result of individual initiative, and not as a
specific college assignment, and where only
incidental use of college facilities or resources are
employed, should normally reside with the
author, subject to the provisions of Section 4.e.
