Welcome & HCI research at the two research groups (Sustainability & Design, and Design of Information Systems)
Methods matter exercise
Why do methods matter? What are they (not) made for?
Write down what you think about these questions in a 3-minutes writing style (not lifting your pen) or in brain-writing style, noting down thoughts/ideas whenever they come to mind.
Bring these notes to the seminar for discussion.
Methods, Outcomes, Disciplines
Waves in HCI
Read additional literature (B?dker, see sidebar) and answer the presented questions/thoughts:
- What is the (second and) third wave in HCI research about?
- Are we in the 3. wave of HCI now?
- What were the typical metrics in the 1. wave and what are newer metrics and major shifts in the topics of HCI from 1. to 2. and 3. wave?
- What could a 4. wave - another paradigm shift - be?
