ABSTRACT
Document engineering is all about building systems and tools that allow people to work with documents and document collections. A key aspect is the usefulness and usability of these tools. In this tutorial, we will look at the many different kinds of user studies and user evaluations that can be used to inform the design and improve utility and usability of document engineering applications. The tutorial will be based on actual studies and will also give participants a chance to explore how they might use these techniques in their research or system development.

Evaluating user preferences for adaptive reminding
CHI EA '08: CHI '08 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe are developing an adaptive reminding system that tailors its reminders to its users' reminding preferences through real-time interaction and feedback. To determine the potential utility of such a system, we conducted a multi-phase user study, ...
User interviews revisited: identifying user positions and system interpretations
NordiCHI '12: Proceedings of the 7th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction: Making Sense Through DesignThroughout the history of HCI, interviews have been utilized for collecting users' subjective evaluations of interactive technology. This paper raises the issue that these interviews are often deployed in a manner overlooking two aspects of evaluation: ...
