We’re glad to have a nice presence at SIGDOC 2024 this year!
Student Research Competition
First round: Sun Oct 20, 1:30 to 2:45pm, Multi-Purpose Room
Second round: Mon Oct 21, 8:00 to 9:15am, Auditorium
We’re deeply involved in the Student Research Competition (SRC)! Bradley Dilger will co-host the SRC with friend of Crow Dr. Allegra Smith.
Purdue undergraduate researchers Naomi Islas and Sarah Buwick will be participating. See their poster “Using Collaborative Coding to Study How Research Teams Coordinate Work,” which describes how they studied Crow collaborative work to compare it to the Constructive Distributed Work (CDW) heuristic that we use to guide our collaborations. They developed a coding workflow we’ll be using internally and sharing, and were able to identify several ways Crow researchers were living up to the CDW standard.
Buwick & Islas will have an extended abstract of their work published in the conference proceedings.
Hopefully they’ll advance to the finals! If they do, they’ll be sharing this brief talk.
Session 2B: Human-Machine Methodologies
Sun Oct 20, Room 113
Michelle McMullin, Shelton Weech, Hadi Banat, Dilara Avci, and Wei Xu are presenting “Are We Doing What We Say We’re Doing? Assessing the Constructive Distributed Work Model for Sustainable Research Teams” as part of this session. The CDW team will present their current research findings assessing how “orientations to work,” one dimension of the CDW heuristic, can be identified in threads from our team communication platform, Basecamp. We will discuss research methods, findings, and next steps for this project.
The talk includes two short videos from Avci and Xu, so we’re sharing as a PowerPoint. We’re especially pleased to have these Arizona graduate students on the CDW team — they’ve really helped us move this project forward. To view the videos, you’ll need to download the slide deck.

Bradley Dilger will be part of the keynote and Rigo Award presentation honoring Halcyon Lawrence, Bill Hart-Davidson, and Johndan Johnson-Eilola. Smith will co-present with Dilger.
