Quantifying the Effects of Media

Prerequisite

•  Basic knowledge of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) as well as empirical studies both using quantitative and qualitative methods.

 

Teaching methods Seminar/Lab
Learning target / Competences

The combination of the lab and the seminar enables the successful student to take a scientific look at the way media are perceived. Based on a solid knowledge of standard tools like surveys, they learn to conduct studies and interpret data:

  • get to know advanced methods of human computer interaction
  • learn how to measure user behavior with standard tools (e.g. surveys like NASA-TLX)
  • learn how to measure user behavior by acquiring physiological data 
  • understand how perceived and measured media experience can correspond or differ
  • learn how to conduct studies on media reception using the methods mentioned above

   advanced methods for human subject studies with media

   measuring user behavior with standard tools (e.g. NASA-TLX, AttrakDiff)

   measuring user behavior by acquiring physiological data (e.g. facial expressions, GSR)
