[IxDA Discuss] 2nd CFP: Best Practices in Longitudinal Research (Workshop @ CHI 2009)
CFP: CHI 2009 Workshop: Best Practices in Longitudinal Research Submission Deadline: Thurs, Oct 23, 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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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. Up-to-date information on the workshop will be available at: http://longitudinalusability.wikispaces.com/ 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.

*UPA 2008 Workshop - CFP: Exploring Best Practices in Longitudinal Usability * *Workshop date and location*: Mon 16-June-2008 — Baltimore, Maryland Time: 8:30am - 5:30pm *Submissions deadline*: Fri 23-May-2008 *Notification date*: Wed 28-May-2008 *Organizers* # Catherine Courage, salesforce.com, catherine.courage at gmail.com # Stephanie Rosenbaum, Tec-Ed Inc, stephanie at teced.com # Jhilmil Jain, Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, jhilmil.jain at hp.com Traditional usability evaluation methods in corporate and academic practice are well-documented and defined. This workshop seeks to extend current thinking about those methods via discussion of methods and metrics that have proven practicable for longitudinal data collection. Typical evaluation methods tend to focus more on 'first-time' experiences with products that may arise within the first hour or two, which trends the results more towards 'discoverability' or 'learnability' problems, rather than usability problems that may persist over time. Longer-term usability issues are more difficult to evaluate, but they are of great importance, especially for complex applications. An experience or interaction that is initially difficult may become easy with extended use and may add valuable power or functionality. It is important to evaluate users' behavior over time with product or system features that take longer to learn. The goal of this one-day workshop is to gain a better understanding of the longitudinal usability research practitioners are conducting today. Specifically, this workshop aims to identify and discuss: # What types of applications, web sites, or web applications would benefit the most from longitudinal usability research? # What methods and techniques are best suited to helping practitioners uncover longitudinal usability issues and understand user performance over time; and how can these methods best be incorporated into the UCD processes? # What are some heuristics for choosing the appropriate method(s) for longitudinal usability studies? # Why is longitudinal research important from a business context? # What kinds of data provide the most value in helping us understand longitudinal usability? We invite senior practitioners able to communicate their prior experience and debate their methods to please submit a 3 page position paper outlining your interest in this topic and a short bio to the organizers via email. The position paper must be formatted using the template provide at: https://www.usabilityprofessionals.org/upa_conference/program/2008/activity.php?id=9220#paper. The facilitators will review each of the position papers and select up to 20 participants. The selection process will seek a variety of case studies from participants with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
