ABSTRACT
Appropriation refers to the ways that technologies are ÿadapted and repurposed to new purposes of use by individuals, groups or communities. This workshop brings together researchers interested in appropriation from CSCW and design. Until now, these communities have been working separately, despite their converging interests. The workshop is based on roundtable discussions that bring the participants' qualitative observations and theoretical viewpoints in contact with practical design efforts that support user creativity and appropriation.

Recommendations
Framing creative uses for describing cases of appropriation
CSCW '12: Proceedings of the ACM 2012 conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work CompanionRecent studies in HCI and CSCW have defined "appropriation" as a natural interaction between users and technology. To study appropriation, we propose to employ a user collaborative system that collects creative uses as processes of appropriation. To ...
Appropriation by unanticipated users: looking beyond design intent and expected use
CSCW '13: Proceedings of the 2013 conference on Computer supported cooperative workResearch in CSCW has demonstrated that people use technology in inventive ways, yet little work investigates the adoption and adaptation of collaborative technologies by unanticipated users. In this paper, we present a study investigating an ...
Collaborative Appropriation: How Couples, Teams, Groups and Communities Adapt and Adopt Technologies
CSCW '16 Companion: Proceedings of the 19th ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing CompanionPrevious workshops examined how individual users adopt and adapt technologies to meet local needs, “completing design through use.” However, there has been little systematic study of how groups engage collaboratively in these activities. This workshop ...
