Dear Q Group members,

You are invited to attend a seminar “Risk Communication & Online Risk” given by Professor L. Jean Camp of Indiana University, at 5pm Wednesday 11 April 2018, at Data61 Demonstration Lab (710 Collins Street, Docklands) in Melbourne.

Seminar Title: Risk Communication & Online Risk

Abstract:

Risk communication allows individuals to easily see the consequences of their action. The ideal design goal of transparency, of making visible user-action-system-consequence, may be overwhelming or impossible. Conversely, security as a default without human interaction is opaque and disabling. Risk communication is neither transparent nor opaque; but rather implies of security technologies that are easy to use, communicate risk choices only to the degree necessary to avoid inadvertent risk, and can be rejected in a straight-forward manner if the individual chooses to take a risk, or if the system is in error.

My work in this space leverages risk communication and data analytics to provide risk communication to empower people to make informed choices online. I describe the canonical nine dimensional model of risk perception, introduce mental models for security, and provide actionable guidance for use of risk communication in design. I include examples of failures, progress, and easy to use heuristics.
