I co-organise an international conference called World Usability Day Silesia (WUD Silesia). I’m a lecturer at postgraduate User Experience Design studies (SWPS University), E-Marketing (WSE / SWPS University). I pursue my scientific interests in the Laboratory of Personality (Psychology Institute of Psychology Polish Academy of Sciences).

In research, I focus my attention on areas concerning processes of self-regulation among users of digital products.
Session
The workshop will focus on the impact of digital technologies on society in terms of the transition from a literate to a post-literate mindset introduced by Jacek Dukaj in "After Writing". The discussion will explore how this profound shift affects collaboration and knowledge co-creation. An immersion into Dukaj's vision will serve to understand the fast-changing conditions of collaborative knowledge production. Furthermore, during the workshop, we will attempt to identify crucial signals of changes in the context of knowledge co-creation. Together with participants, we will outline futures of Wikipedians’ open collaboration within possible post-literate conditions.
