The course focuses on designing, building and deploying new media technologies as instruments for conducting research. The research questions addressed stem from different academic fields and range from data collection (e.g. experience sampling), through coaching and behavioral change, up to validation of applications of Artificial Intelligence.The student is expected to follow, in a multi-disciplinary student team, a research cycle consisting of the following steps:
- define the research question, target user group, functionality and study protocol,
- conceptualize an interactive application, create mock-ups and preliminary walk-throughs,
- develop the application, distribute it and implement the study protocol
- conduct and analyze the empirical study using this application.
The course will address necessary topics to follow the proposed research cycle. |
