The course "Evaluation in Human-Computer Interaction -- Beyond Lab Studies" was held at CHI2021. The content is inspried by an online panel discussion that was held in March, 2020. More details about this panel and a recodring is online at: https://amp.ubicomp.net/users-off-limits/

Course Abstract

Many research contributions in human-computer interaction are based on user studies in the lab. However, lab studies are not always possible, and they may come with significant challenges and limitations. In this course, we take a broader look at different approaches to doing research. We present a set of evaluation methods and research contributions that do not rely on user studies in labs. The discussion focuses on research approaches, data collection methods, and tools that can be conducted without direct interaction between the researchers and the participants.
