Overview
This is a 1/2 day workshop on Thursday June 13th from 10:00-1:00PM and requires a separate ticket you can purchase here.
Attendees will practice methods from social science research to clearly define and measure subjective and qualitative experiences such as,
- “How much do people trust the product?”
- “Is the product intuitive?”
- “Are people satisfied with the product?”
- “Does the product respect time? Privacy?” and more.
Dave will demonstrate how to gather data through self-report measures (e.g., surveys and interviews), observation, and quantitative methods (e.g., analytics, metrics, and validated research instruments), how to convert qualitative data into quantitative data, and discuss how to review and interpret the data by looking for patterns, trends, and correlations. Exercises will involve pre-defined scenarios, and attendees are invited to bring scenarios and challenges from their own work for discussion during the Q&A.
Objective
Attendees will learn basic methods for operationally defining subjective experiences so that qualitative measures may be turned into quantitative data and analyzed statistically.
