Research Methods in Human-Computer Interaction
Een optimale gebruikservaring kan nooit in één keer worden gerealiseerd. Alleen doorlopend onderzoek van het gebruik, de gebruikers en de bruikbaarheid leidt uiteindelijk tot het gewenste resultaat. De auteurs van dit boekwerk beschrijven mogelijke kwalitatieve en kwantitatieve manieren waarop de kwaliteit van computer- en webgebruik gedegen kan worden onderzocht. Zeker ook voor studenten als leerboek geschikt.
"Continual technological evolution has led to an explosion of new techniques in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research. Research Methods in Human-Computer Interaction is a thoroughly comprehensive guide to performing research and is essential reading for both quantitative and qualitative methods. Chapters cover a broad range of topics relevant to the collection and analysis of HCI data, going beyond experimental design and surveys, to cover ethnography, time diaries, physiological measurements, case studies, and other essential elements in the well-informed HCI researcher's toolkit.
Written to support industrial and academic researchers, including faculty and students at both graduate and undergraduate levels, this book provides wide-ranging coverage of all research issues, supported by many real-world examples. It is intended to inspire the reader to do groundbreaking research, to change the way people think about human–computer interaction, to do something different, something noteworthy, and something important."
