DESCRIPTION:Digital technologies have made their way into all the aspects 
 of our lives that\, according to psychology\, influence our well-being -- 
 everything from social relationships and curiosity to engagement and learn
 ing.  By bringing together research and methodologies well-established in 
 psychology\, education\, neuroscience and human-computer interaction\, we 
 can begin to cultivate a new field dedicated to the design and development
  of technology that supports well-being and human potential. More specific
 ally\, in this seminar I will present a summary of our current projects on
  Affect and Learning technologies.  This will be followed by an introducti
 on to our Human-Computer interaction work aiming to support psychological 
 well-being. The suggested HCI framework builds on the above mentioned disc
 iplines\, addressing intrapersonal factors of well-being such as motivatio
 n\, engagement\, reflective thought and mindfulness\, interpersonal factor
 s such as empathy\, and extrapersonal such as altruism.
