Mon, 17 Apr 2023 13:00:00 +0000

Course dates

Monday 9 am - 11 am (lecture)
Friday 11 am -1 pm (lecture)
Friday 1 pm - 3 pm (project seminar = exercise)

This course aims to guide students through the entire research process in the field of Human Computer Interaction. Through this course, you will have the opportunity to publish your first academic work based on practical assignments and projects.

The course is divided into a theoretical lecture part and a practical exercise part:

Theoretical part (lectures at the beginning and middle of the semester)

lectures on methods for finding and viewing relevant literature carrying out a project learning research principles and research methods for quantitative and qualitative analysis of collected data
provides the theoretical background for solving the tasks

Practical part (exercises throughout the semester)

practical, related research projects (individual and group work)
experience in experimental design and data analysis (We will carry out a research project will be and the results will be presented. The presentations and the final report will be evaluated at the end.)

Required work for credit points(Leistungspunkte) and examination admission:

Lecture(s) by the students
Intermediate and/or final reports on development projects or experiments

After completing the module, students can:

distinguish and apply approaches of HCI research
apply types of empirical research
read and understand a scientific publication
formulate research questions, hypotheses, and experimental variables
create study designs based on previously developed research questions
conduct studies using quantitative and qualitative data collection methods
analyzing, evaluating, and interpreting quantitative data based on statistical methods
analyze and interpret qualitative data based on grounded theory
understand the peer review process and write reviews for a scientific publication
understand and apply evaluation techniques with and without users
write the knowledge gained as a scientific publication and present it to a specialist audience

Course dates

Tuesday 9-11 am - lecture and project seminar ¹
Tuesday 11-13 am - project seminar

In this course, students learn how to create functional prototypes for scientific studies in the human-computer interaction area. Common development tools are studied in small exercises as well as in a project. As part of the course, students develop hardware and software for interactive installations.
