Course 28: Empirical Research Methods for Human-Computer Interaction - Course
Contribution & Benefit: This course delivers an A-to-Z tutorial on conducting an empirical experiment (aka user study) in human-computer interaction.
Abstract » Participants in this course will benefit by learning how to conduct empirical research in human-computer interaction (HCI). As most attendees at CHI conferences will agree, a "user study" is the hallmark of good research in human-computer interaction. But, what constitutes a user study? By and large, a user study is an experiment conforming to the norms for empirical inquiry and the scientific method. It is founded on observation, measurement, and posing and answering testable research questions. This course delivers an A-to-Z tutorial on conducting an empirical experiment (aka user study) in human-computer interaction.
