9.2. Activity

9.2.1. Introduction

You may remember the following mentioned near the top of the Milestone 0: IRB Training page:

The University of Georgia is committed to the ethical principles for the protection of human subjects in research as set forth in the Belmont Report.

The Belmont Report was an important part of the IRB training you did for Milestone 0: IRB Training of your term project. The report identifies basic ethical principles and guidelines surrounding issues arising from the conduct of research with human subjects.

These issues can and do arise in HCI research, both inside and outside of academia, and especially in usability studies.

9.2.2. Breakout Groups

Duration: \(\sim\) 20 minutes

Randomize!

Please randomize!

  1. Quickly introduce yourselves to each other, if you don’t already know each other.

  2. Pick a group representative. This person will be responsible for posting your breakout group’s response on Piazza before breakout group work ends for this activity.

  3. Help your group representative respond to the following in a followup discussion to Piazza @37.

    1. List the full names of your breakout group members.

    2. Your instructor will assign your group a letter (one of A, B, or C). Respond the prompt below using the information in the table that corresponds to your group’s letter.

      1. Simply include LETTER, PRINCIPLE, and REQUIREMENT for this part of your post, replacing each part appropriately.

      2. Definitions: Briefly define your group’s principle and your group’s requirement, assuming your target audience has NOT read the Belmont Report.

      3. Example from the report: Describe one example (e.g., situation(s) or scenario(s)) from the report where your group’s principle and/or requirement is violated. Be sure to explain why and/or how it is a violation with respect to the definitions your group provided.

      4. Example NOT from the report: Describe one example (e.g., situation(s) or scenario(s)) related to a real or hypothetical HCI, UX, or computer UI-related study NOT from the report where your group’s principle and/or requirement is violated. Be sure to explain why and/or how it is a violation with respect to the definitions your group provided. Do a little research.

        • If your example is based on a real study, then please provide a reference to that study.

        • If your example is hypothetical, then please make every effort to avoid malicious intent (i.e., the researchers should not set out to violate the principle or requirement on purpose).

      5. Next steps: What steps might the researchers involved in your last example take to adjust their study to meet your group’s principle and/or requirement?

  4. As a group, look at and reply to the posts that other groups made.

9.2.3. After Breakout Groups

Duration: TBD

  1. Look at some of the Piazza posts as a class.

9.2.4. After Class

  1. Before the next class period, individually comment on another group’s post by replying to their followup discussion in Piazza @37.

    Comments

    Please keep the comments polite and constructive. In addition to whatever else you want to write, please comment on one aspect of a group’s post that you like and one aspect that you think needs improvement (e.g., you find that something is unclear or you don’t understand a justification). Be sure to provide a brief justification for each.

  2. Finish reading the Foundations module, and start reading the Usability module.
