Research Seminars about Experiments in Human Computer Interaction

July 22, 2016; tb

In June and July 2016, Harald Reiterer and Ulrike Pfeil hosted a research seminar about Experiments in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) at the University of Konstanz. Within three days they teached about 15 students working on their bachelor, master or doctoral thesis in conducting experimental user studies to support them in their research work.

The seminar covered the whys and hows of conducting good experiments in HCI, for example: How do you build on existing work in formulating research questions and devising hypotheses? How do you select the right measures that provide evidence for conclusions? How do you narrate findings and how do you deal with alternative explanations for results? In a practical part the students presented their own experiments and got detailed feedback.
