Research Methods for Human-Computer Interaction

Research methods for human-computer interaction

Researchers in human-computer interaction use a wide range of methods drawn from different disciplines and often adapted to the needs of our research areas. This course will provide a framework for thinking about research methods as well as overview of some of the more popular (and some of the more unusual) research methods used in HCI. The course will provide both theoretical and practical advice. These will include both qualitative and quantitative methods, self-report and direct observation with participants. Methods to be covered will include expert evaluation methods, bespoke and standardised questionnaires including the NASA-TLX, verbal protocols, contextual inquiry, experience sampling, true experiments and the Delphi method. If there are particular methods you would like discussed, please contact the organizers as they are open to other possibilities.
