  THE USE OF EXPERIMENTS IN THE EVALUATION OF IT TOOLS AND METHODS

  Many IT systems are finished and marketed when they function 
  correctly in their technology environment, i.e., when they execute 
  correctly. An equally important evaluation criterion is that the 
  system, method, and/or tool function well in the human user 
  environment. The seminar will present how user experiments with 
  eye-tracking equipment can be utilized in the evaluation of IT 
  systems, methods, and tools. Examples from experiments testing 
  programmer interpretation of program code and user interpretation 
  of graphic models will be given.

  Martha E. Crosby is an associate professor in the department of 
  information and computer sciences and chair of the interdis-
  ciplinary doctoral program in communications and information 
  sciences at the University of Hawaii. Her research interests 
  are in the area of human-computer interaction, models of user 
  cognition, and evaluation of human use of computer interfaces 
  and applications.
