Course Description

COURSE OBJECTIVE

 

            There are two objectives of this doctoral seminar.  First, we will investigate the current research and research directions of the human-computer interaction (HCI) literature, both from inside and outside of the MIS field.  As its name implies, the course will emphasize aspects of the relationship between humans and computers.  Aspects of particular interest will range from organizational strategies for user-centered design to cognitive models of usage.  Several subtopics will be exam­ined that represent major streams of research within HCI.  The second objective is methodological, and we will collect experimental data sometime during this semester, on a mutually agreeable topic within the HCI area. We can work as one large group or as several smaller ones, as you prefer.

 

IMPORTANCE OF THE TOPIC

 

            In the early days of computing, the bulk of MIS research focused on the computer, and researchers as well as practitioners expended large amounts of energy attempting to mechanize tasks.  Computer programming was the major challenge for schools of science and business alike.  In the past couple of decades, solutions to many of those technical problems have been found.  The research focus has now shifted from "how people can make the systems work" to "how the systems can more effectively support the people's work."  HCI is an area of great concern and interest in three fields: MIS, Computer Science, and Psychology.

 

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK OF THE COURSE

 

            Within the HCI area, certain fundamental dependent variables and research approaches have emerged.  These variables and approaches seem to center around end-user behavior, performance, and attitudes within IS[1].  Much work needs to be done in all of these areas, and one of the attractions of the HCI area is that it is particularly conducive to theoretical, controlled, important, and general­izable studies.

Readings and Tasks

·         National Cancer Institute (continuously updated): Research-Based Web Design and Usability Guidelines, available in full at http://www.usability.gov/guidelines/

 

Research Tools: HCI Bib web site at http://www.hcibib.org/ provides searching of HCI research publications.  The HCI Webliography has a set of HCI resources for the researcher. Also, Google Scholar is probably going to dominate all tools.

 

Other Resources (subject to enhancement over time):

 

Toastytech’s very complete site of Graphical User Interfaces, at http://toastytech.com/guis/index.html (click on your choices in the left frame) and the Guidebook at http://www.guidebookgallery.org/screenshots

Apple’s OSX resources]: Apple’s Mac OSX Human Interface Guidelines. Available in one 13.7 meg PDF file at http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/OSXHIGuidelines/OSXHIGuidelines.pdf or in html at http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/OSXHIGuidelines/

Microsoft’s Guidelines are all over the place, and the best resources I could find are http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa286531.aspx and http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa262337%28VS.60%29.aspx

 

Core Reading List: Each week, selected readings will provide a general "core" theme.  All students will be required to read all papers thoroughly, unless otherwise noted, and participate actively in the discussions concerning the research methodology, philosophy, and conclusions offered in each paper.  Primary emphasis will be paid to com­parative evaluation of the various research approaches and findings.  Additional readings will be assigned from time to time.

 

Depth Research: One of the crucial components of this course is participation in an actual laboratory experiment.  Students are required to work on all phases of the study:

 

·         theoretical underpinnings;

·         research questions;

·         hypothesis formulation;

·         design of experimental task and materials

·         securing subjects

·         analysis of the results

 

Writing sections of a paper based on the study is purely optional, but it is expected that you will have a great deal of interest in publication of the results.  Those who participate only partially in the study (including the writing) might not be included as co-authors.  In that case joint authorship will be based on the group’s collective judgment of contribution of the departed group member. Joint authorship is not a condition of your grade; journal submission arrangements will have no relationship to this course.  Nevertheless, the work you submit must contribute to publishable-quality work, in that (a) there should be a contribution of some kind to the literature, (b) it should be based on a thorough review of the literature, and (c) methodology and/or conclusions should be sound.

 

It is generally expected that the course will involve one or more group projects (depending on the size of the class).  However, it is also possible for you to work individually according to your own interests or wishes.  Keep in mind that the large number of steps above will comprise a large time commitment.

 

The group(s) will spend perhaps several weeks searching the literature to identify the topic of interest.  We will spend class time each week discussing and narrowing the topics, and the length of time necessary to perform such narrowing will vary from year to year, topic to topic.  It is quite possible that, for publication, the study will carry on to subsequent semesters.  It is planned that the bulk of the theoretical work should be finished by the end of this semester, and a pilot test run.

 

To receive an “A” in this seminar, students are expected to

-          Contribute significantly in class about the readings that we will encounter,

-          Make significant contributions of ideas towards the experiment,

-          Help in assembling an IRB application,

-          Make a significant contribution (eg., several pages) towards a literature review, an introduction, or the methodology section of a paper that would be generated from this study,

-          Provide leadership in leading up to the pilot study. This would involve providing several needed questionnaires, setting up the Qualtrix survey, identifying a small handful (under a dozen) of subjects to use, or even running the pilot study.

 

The previous practice of providing an incomplete grade or temporarily “docking” the grade by one letter until the pilot would be finished will no longer be followed. We can, and should, separate the actual study from the coursework. We will treat the actual study as something that we perform using intrinsic motivation.

Other classes:

We might meet several other times, perhaps in smaller groups, to perform the experiment(s).  Additional literature that relates to the experiment(s) will most likely be defined and distributed to appropriate (and sometimes all) team members.
