Teaser:

Backhannels and live participation tools are used e.g. in education,
conferences and TV shows to increase the interactivity and participation
of learners, participants and viewers. Research-wise the domain is
scattered across different fields, such as HCI, CSCW and education. This
workshop aims to draw together researchers, developers and practitioners
in this area to consider (1) how to conduct high quality research and (2)
how to make research with impact on the larger society.
