During the Spring 2000 semester, 13 student teams conducted empirical studies of user interfaces as their term-length project
in Computer Science 434:
Human Factors in Computer and Information Systems taught by
Dr. Ben Shneiderman, Director,
Human-Computer Interaction Lab.
The online reports of these projects include links to previous work and related systems. Student experimental projects are
available from previous years:
1997,
1998,
1999.
Each team produced their online experiment reports according to a
workplan and a
template
(download the zipped file shore.zip updated 4/10/2000), coordinated by the student editorial team.
