Would you use emoji when messaging with someone who chats using a screen reader? 🤔 @carlagriggio @benjgorman and @GarrethTigwell explore how to help sighted users text with emoji in more accessible ways in this #CSCW2024 article: https://t.co/z1eju6Mr4Q

@jeffbigham From the papers page: "authors are asked to submit a short note to reviewers that provides this context." Please also see the 2021 ACM Publications policy on research involving humans before submitting." - https://t.co/4kLcMQHOfX

This is a really fun prompt, where the response resonated with me. Give it a go.

[Tom Morgan @tomowenmorgan]

Pretty cool.

Ask ChatGPT “From all of our interactions what is one thing that you can tell me about myself that I may not know about myself”

[Benjamin Gorman @benjgorman]

@morganklauss I felt the same way when I finished my PhD - after it consumed almost every waking thought for 4 years, even the viva felt a bit underwhelming. I had built it up so much in my mind, expecting it to feel more momentous than it actually did.

@williamsf1 It also looks like only some of your content uses alt text on this account, so this post shows your team know the feature exists, but sometimes choose to not use it.

[Benjamin Gorman @benjgorman]

@williamsf1 This is not what alt text is for. Would be good for your social media team to learn about the purpose and who you may be excluding through this sort of post: https://t.co/i7EMr1Ph78

@drmaxlwilson @DilishaBP A lot of it never goes into the workload models though, unless for my institution, that's why it somewhat feels like it for me
