Abdelnour-Nocera, José, Michaelides, Mario, Austin, Ann and Modi, Sunila (2012): An intercultural study of HCI education experience and representation. In: Proceedings of the 2012 International Conference on Intercultural Collaboration 2012. pp. 157-160.

“The discipline of human-computer interaction has become a subject taught across universities around the world, outside of the cultures where it originated. However, the intercultural implication of its assimilation into the syllabus of courses offered by universities around the world remains under-researched. The purpose of this ongoing research project is to provide insights for these implications in terms of the student and teacher experience of HCI. How this subject is socially represented across the different universities studied is a key question. In order to develop intercultural awareness of these questions universities from UK, Denmark, Namibia, Mexico and China are collaborating in a multiple case study involving students and lecturers engaged in evaluation and design tasks. Findings will then be used to propose an international HCI curriculum more supportive of design for intercultural collaboration. This paper describes the initial steps of this study and some preliminary findings from Namibia.”

Ressin, Malte, Abdelnour-Nocera, José and Smith, Andy (2011): Of code and context: collaboration between developers and translators. In: Proceedings of the 2011 International Workshop on Cooperative and Human Aspects of Software Engineering 2011. pp. 50-52.

“Software for international markets often requires cultural adaption in order to be successful in different markets. To achieve this, software developers work together with translators to internationalize and localize their product as necessary. In this paper, we reflect on our experiences of collaboration between these two specialist types from different disciplines. We contrast the differences in object of work, education, values and perception of product quality and illustrate what other factors might have an influence in collaboration. Our experiences suggest that the collaboration between developers and localizers might be improved by integrating translators into development teams, and by emphasizing the importance of understanding each other's work better.”

Camara, Souleymane, Shrestha, Sujan, Abdelnour-Nocera, José and Moore, John (2010): Village eLearning: an offline mobile solution to rural communities? knowledge requirement. In: Proceedings of the HCI10 Conference on People and Computers XXIV 2010. pp. 463-467.

“This paper presents an offline mobile eLearning concept as an ICT solution to address the knowledge requirements of a rural sub-Saharan farming community. A socio-technical customisation and deployment of WikiReaders is proposed to support offline mobile access to digital content. A future use scenario is presented as a demonstration of cheap but sustainable innovation emerging from a longitudinal evaluation of users, their needs and their context.”

Walker, Kevin, Underwood, Joshua, Waema, Tim, Dunckley, Lynne, Abdelnour-Nocera, José, Luckin, Rosemary, Oyugi, Cecilia and Camara, Souleymane (2008): A resource kit for participatory socio-technical design in rural Kenya. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2008 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems April 5-10, 2008. pp. 2709-2714.

“We describe our approach and initial results in the participatory design of technology relevant to local rural livelihoods. Our approach to design and usability proceeds from research in theory and practice of cross-cultural implementations, but the novelty is in beginning not with particular technologies but from community needs, and structuring technology in terms of activities. We describe our project aims and initial data collected, which show that while villagers have no clear mental models for using computers or the Internet, they show a desire to have and use them. We then describe our approach to interaction design, our expectations and next steps as the technology and activities are first introduced to the villages.”
