CFP: CHI 2009 Workshop: Best Practices in Longitudinal Research
[Extended] Submission Deadline: Friday Oct 31, 2008, 5pm PDT
Workshop overview
------------------
Traditional user research and evaluation methods tend to focus on 'first-time' experiences with products, which trends the results towards discoverability problems, rather than usability concerns that may persist over time. This workshop will extend current thinking by an in-depth discussion of methods and metrics for longitudinal data collection. Our goal is to identify and describe best practices for longitudinal research.
This is the fourth event in an ongoing effort by the organizers to enhance our current body of knowledge about longitudinal research. We invite practitioners and academics who have experience with longitudinal studies to submit a 3-4 page position paper (in CHI Extended Abstracts format) plus a short bio by email to [log in to unmask] by October 23, 2008 in order to participate in this one-day workshop.
Your position paper should describe a longitudinal research case study, including:
* Research questions addressed
* Study design and methodologies used
* Participant characteristics, recruiting, retention
* Data analysis and comparison techniques used
* Lessons learned. We are interested in both successes and failures of the study.
A sample case study template is available at: http://longitudinalusability.wikispaces.com/CaseStudyTemplate
We will select a variety of case studies from participants with diverse experience. Participants will receive all the position papers in advance, so they may formulate discussion questions before the workshop. The organizers will also publish a draft agenda and for the in-depth discussions during the workshop.
Please note that workshop participants must register for the workshop and for one or more days of the CHI 2009 conference. Workshop fees for participants is estimated to be $175 for a one-day workshop.
Up-to-date information on the workshop will be available at: http://longitudinalusability.wikispaces.com/
