Classroom format

• About half of each class lecture Human-Computer
  Systems issues
• and ergonomics fundamentals as they relate to
  human-computer systems
• About half of each class Discussion and analysis
  of research cases related to current topics
• students in the class will present the articles
  as they understand them.
• We will give some guidance for things to consider
  in the presentations
• strategies for looking at research articles

Aims and objectives

• Aims
• To examine the human aspects of human-computer
  systems
• and apply the knowledge to design, evaluate, and
  integrate successful human-computer systems.
• After this course, students should be able to
• identify potential problems associated with a
  human-computer system and propose solutions to
  improve it.
• evaluate the benefits of human-computer systems
  in terms of productivity as well as impacts on
  the social and organizational aspects.
• apply the latest research related to
  human-computer systems improvement.

What do you expect to gain from this course? How
can an understanding of Human-Computer Studies
benefit you?

• Consider usability
• systematic approach
• Emphasis on process as well as applications
• focus on learning how to
• gain understanding about...
• usability and human subjects testing -
  experimentation
• After this course, you should be able to think
  beyond the functional requirements
• cognitive, physiological and organizational
  aspects of Human-Computer Systems

Previously - in 1999when I last taught this

• Main focus - book from 1994
• User Interface Design by R. Eberts
• Management in aspects of H-C systems - real world
  cases
• Usability principles, Menu displays.
• Methods for testing effectiveness, mental
  workload measures.
• Hazards in conducting and interpreting HCI
  studies.
• Introduction to Interface Design and Visual
  C/VB.
• However the field is much broader now.
• As we get into the semester I hope you will see
  what I mean.
• For the most up to date work in the field
• the two premier conferences will give you some
  insights into what is happening.

HCI International 2003 - Crete, Greece

10
ACM-CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing
Systems - Minneapolis, USA, April
2002http//www.acm.org/sigchi/chi2002/
11
The field is much broader now.

• That book by Eberts is now nearly 8 years old
• it seems quite outdated when you consider a
  systems view that is needed in many
  human-computer applications.
• You will notice that more than 60
• (25 of 40 supplementary readings) are either from
  
• 2000 or 2001
• That is...
• these articles were written and published AFTER I
  last taught the course in 1999.

Selection of papers

• All students should plan for 3 presentations
• At least one will be done alone.
• One or two will be done in teams of 2 students
  per paper.
• We will begin the selection today.
• All students Please choose one paper and sign up
• After all students have chosen one paper, we will
  have round 2 selections (then round 3).
• You must choose a paper that is not selected
  before we can begin to choose a paper for the
  second time.
• Please note the number of slots is the maximum
  number of people that can present the paper

17
Things to consider for presentation

• 1. Objective of the research
• 2. Brief discussion of literature support
• 3. Development of hypotheses (if any) or why
  the research was done in this way
• 4. Methods
• 5. Results
• 6. Discussion/conclusions
• any practical application for the research?
• Theoretical contribution?
• 7. Future work any suggestions?

18
10 ways to look at a research paper
systematically for critical analysis

• 1. research ideas/question -what is the purpose?
• 2. what background support? - literature review
• 3. theoretical basis for analyzing
  question/hypothesis?
• 4. applicability-practical contribution?
• 5. theoretical contribution?
• 6. appropriate methodologies for carrying out
  study? (determining variables, data
  collection, method used to test hypotheses,
  validity of measures and reliability)
• 7. appropriate statistical analyses and
  assumptions?
• 8. presentation of results what do they really
  mean?
• 9. conclusions drawn are they reasonable?
• 10. future work/research directions any
  possibilities?
