TAUCHI – Tampere Unit for Computer-Human Interaction ERIT 2015: Documents for the Course Projects Hanna Venesvirta Tampere Unit for Computer-Human Interaction

TAUCHI – Tampere Unit for Computer-Human Interaction Aims of the Day Start preparing documentation required for the course projects Understand why these documents are done Get feedback about the research plans

TAUCHI – Tampere Unit for Computer-Human Interaction Schedule! Today / during ~a week: documents In ~two weeks: pilots Data collection after the pilots

TAUCHI – Tampere Unit for Computer-Human Interaction Documents for the Projects 3 documents: –Informed consent –Instructions for the participant / script –Background information form Additional material required for your set up –Prepare on your own time –I would prefer these available (on at least some level) when piloting (within two weeks)

TAUCHI – Tampere Unit for Computer-Human Interaction Informed consent? Information which might affect to the willingness of participation is explained beforehand –Topic, purpose, and person responsible –What is measured and how –Duration of the meeting –Possible risks and benefits –Data use and storage, who has access, etc. –Participant rights mentioned explicitly

TAUCHI – Tampere Unit for Computer-Human Interaction Informed consent? Approval is collected beforehand –“Written consent”, “Informed consent” Video / picture / voice recording approval is collected with additional written consent!

TAUCHI – Tampere Unit for Computer-Human Interaction Participant’s Rights – Self-determination Right not to participate… …and to withdraw at any point. There should not be any consequences if approval canceled Do not underline this as it may cause nervousness / even fear

TAUCHI – Tampere Unit for Computer-Human Interaction Participant’s Rights – Privacy and Confidentiality Treat all collected data in confidence Do not connect personal information to the experimental data Inform how the data is reported –On a group level

TAUCHI – Tampere Unit for Computer-Human Interaction Instructions for the Participants? Actions of the researcher might affect to the reactions of the participant –The way the instruction are given can affect how the participant behaves, etc. -> the instructions should be the same for all For this course we will make written instructions

TAUCHI – Tampere Unit for Computer-Human Interaction Instructions for the Participants Describe how your study runs in a detailed level, starting from the moment the participant arrives, until the end, when the participant leaves. The instructions should be so clear and detailed, that even another person could run the experiment.

TAUCHI – Tampere Unit for Computer-Human Interaction Inviting the participants The invitation should inform about the experiment on some level –E.g., the topic, the duration, the location… –Parts of the informed consent can be used –Usually there appears a set of preliminary requirements from the researcher side (e.g., handedness, no eye glasses, no hair on the skin…) – these should be mentioned and ensured before agreeing the participation –Sometimes some instructions are given (do not use cosmetics before the study, shave your face, etc.)

TAUCHI – Tampere Unit for Computer-Human Interaction Documents for the Projects, Pilots 3 documents: –Informed consent –Instructions for the participant –Background information form Examples available on the course web page DL for delivery: Wednesday at via mail to Hanna Other material available during the pilots Book pilot time! –url to the doodle on course web page

TAUCHI – Tampere Unit for Computer-Human Interaction Research Plan Feedback Few minutes discussion per group -> DO NOT LEAVE YET! For tomorrow: 1-2 slides for repetition about the research plan Variables, measures, equipment..
