Our online behaviour is far from virtual–it extends our offline lives. Much social media research has identified the positive opportunities of using social media; for example, how people use social media to form support groups online, participate in political uprising, raise money for charities, extend teaching and learning outside the classroom, etc. However, mirroring offline experiences, we have also seen social media being used to spread propaganda and misinformation, recruit terrorists, live stream criminal activities, reinforce echo chambers by politicians, and perpetuate hate and oppression (such as racist, sexist, homophobic, and anti-Semitic behaviour).
The workshop will focus on the following questions:
The typical UX activity is structured in three parts:
a) Session introduction - participant background data
b) Usability test activity
c) Post-session experience - participant demographic data
This structure supports the collection of both structured and unstructured data. The normal considerations must be taken into account for sensitive data treatment and researcher bias.
Who should attend
This workshop will appeal to researchers with an interest in mixed-methods. Anyone interested in how UX researchers typically structure test activities with participants will gain insights on unmoderated data collection.
Are you involved in a research study where there are multiple viewpoints or complex alternatives? If so, then Card Sorting might be a technique for you to examine the relative strength of choices. Are your research participants distributed geographically and open to using a variety of technologies? The recruitment and data collection techniques/tools frequently used in UX might be just what you need.
