WORKSHOP: How We Know What We Know: Research Methods in HCI2

人机交互联盟(HCIC)是来自23个成员组织的人机交互(HCI)社区成员的集合，他们每年举行一次会议，相互交流研究成果。该联盟是在20多年前创建的，目的是对抗典型的没有后续讨论的会议短论文陈述。HCIC已经成为一个智力和社交都很丰富的绝佳场所；今年，该团体将搬到一个新的、更大的场所，这将使他们能够在不降低互动质量的情况下向更多人开放成员资格。去年，HCIC的与会者投票决定打破传统，加入关于人机界面各种方法的教程，这些方法从人种学到实验室研究，再到对从网络上捕获的大量数据的分析。这个想法是教观众如何在他们没有深入经验的方法中掌握知识，足够让他们判断使用这种方法的研究论文做得好还是不好。与会者评价这些教程中的大多数都很出色，并敦促组织者找到一种方法，让更多的人了解他们的内容。这笔资金将用于支持其中五个教程的视频录制和分发，主题分别为“设计研究”、“大数据集分析”、“民族志”、“内容与对话分析”和“众包”。其中三个教程已被接受在ACM 2011年计算系统中人的因素会议(CHI 2011)上发表，该会议将于5月7日至12日在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华举行。(一年一度的CHI会议是介绍和讨论人机界面研究和实践的领先国际论坛，来自世界各地的约2,500名人机界面专业人员参加；有关会议的更多信息，请访问http://www.chi2011.org.)另外两段将在演讲者的家庭机构录制。NSF的资金将用于支付派遣一名摄影师到这些场馆录制视频并在随后进行编辑的费用，然后这些视频将在网上向公众提供。此外，讲座将被专业转录，作为一本及时且急需的书中章节的初稿，暂定书名为《人机交互方法手册》。更广泛的影响：这一努力将使相当多的人接触到研究人们如何与计算机交互的新的复杂方法。网上的视频教程和后续的这本书将使世界各地的研究人员和学生能够学习一些最新的、最先进的方法，然后他们可以在研究中使用这些方法。

The Human Computer Interaction Consortium (HCIC) is a collection of members of the human-computer interaction (HCI) community from 23 member organizations, who convene once a year to exchange research results with each other. The Consortium was created over 20 years ago in order to counter the typical conference short paper presentations with no follow-on discussion. The HCIC has become a marvelous place that is both intellectually and socially rich; this year the group is moving to a new, larger venue, which will allow them to open up membership to a larger set of people without reducing the quality of the interaction. Last year HCIC attendees voted to break with tradition and include tutorials on the variety of methods in HCI, which range from ethnographies to laboratory studies to analyses of masses of data captured on the Web. The idea was to teach the audience how to be knowledgeable in the methods with which they did not have deep experience, enough so that they could judge whether a research paper using that method was done well or not. The attendees rated most of these tutorials as excellent, and urged the organizers to find a way to make their content available to more people.This is funding to support the video recording and distribution of five of these tutorials on the topics of "Design Research," "Large Data Set Analysis," "Ethnography," "Content and Conversation Analysis," and "Crowdsourcing." Three of these tutorials have been accepted for presentation at the ACM 2011 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI 2011), which will be held May 7-12 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. (The annual CHI conference is the leading international forum for the presentation and discussion of HCI research and practice, and is attended by approximately 2,500 HCI professionals from around the world; more information about the conference is available at http://www.chi2011.org.) The other two will be recorded at the speakers' home institutions. NSF funding will cover the cost of sending a videographer to these venues to record and later edit the videos, which will then be made available to the general public online. In addition, the talks will be professionally transcribed to serve as first drafts of chapters in a timely and much-needed book tentatively entitled "Handbook of Methods for HCI."Broader Impacts: This effort will expose a substantial number of people to new and sophisticated methods for investigating how people interact with computing. The video tutorials on the Web and the book to follow will enable researchers and students everywhere to learn some of the latest, state-of-the-art methods, which they can then exploit in their research.
