Study Information
Purpose: Study how people make sense of materials remotely, on a computer.
Compensation: $40 for a maximum of 2 hours study of exploring a website on a laptop
Qualifications: You must be 18+ years old, and a native speaker of English. You should be free of health detriments that could impede, delay or harm in picking up fabric or typing on a computer.
Additionally, If you have
any of the following, you qualify to take the study:
- A degree on something relevant to fabrics
- OR, in a career relevant to fabric
- OR, at least 2 years of coursework relevant to fabrics
- OR, 10+ years’ experience in building or designing with fabrics
Location:While the pre-questionnaire can be done online, the study itself is in-person so that I can discuss and observe how you use these interfaces. My schedule is flexible and I can meet at a library, coffee shop, etc at your convenience.
Procedure:
Here’s what will happen:
- Please fill out this pre-screen questionnaire. This helps us see if you would be able to help in the study.
- If you qualify, I’ll email you back so we can schedule a time and place where we can meet. The study itself is done in-person, not online. I’ll send you a link to an online pre-questionnaire that you can do at your convenience to complete before we meet.
- When we meet, we’ll start the study. I’ll ask you to:
- Describe fabrics
- Explore a site that has different ways to make sense of fabrics. I’ll be recording the screen and your audio so I can revisit how you explore the site. Your participation is kept confidential by assigning a participant number to you.
- You’ll be filling out a post-questionnaire, and then you’ll partake in an interview.
