Title of Research Study: Completing Tasks on Mobile Devices vs.
Computers Principal Investigator: Dr. Devorah Kletenik, PhD
Assistant Professor
You are being asked to participate in this research study because you
are taking a course in HCI, web development, or a related field. The
purpose of this research study is to understand how interfaces are
percieved on mobile devices vs. computers, while completing a variety
of tasks. Your participation will help us better teach students like
you in the future.
We will ask you to complete some tasks on a website and answer some brief survey questions. This should take
less than forty-five minutes in total.
The process is integrated into one website. First, you will be directed to take a brief-survey. This should
take about five minutes. Then, you will be directed to complete a series of tasks (reading, math and coding)
and then answer some more survey questions.
You do not face any risks by participating in this study.
Your participation will help us, and other instructors, better
understand which interfaces students prefer in completing
educational tasks. Your participation will also count as credit
towards this course, but your answers on the survey and performance
on the tasks not impact your grade or standing in this course at
all.
We will ask for your name and email address at the beginning in
order to be able to tell that you participated. After noting your
participation, we will remove your name and all identifying
information from the responses and substitute numers (e.g. Student
1, Student 2, and so on, in order of response submissions).
Your participation in this research is voluntary. If you have any
questions, you may contact Dr. Devorah Kletenik at
kletenik@sci.brooklyn.cuny.edu
or Dr. Rachel F. Adler at
r-adler@neiu.edu. If you have
any questions about your rights as a research participant or if you
would like to talk to someone other than the researchers, you can
