| 9 | |||
| 10 | * What are the high-level goals of the evaluation? | ||
| 11 | * Who wants it and why? | ||
| 12 | * The goals influence the approach used for the study. | ||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | EXPLORE THE QUESTIONS | ||
| 15 | Define (sub)goals & (sub)research questions. | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | CHOOSE EVALUATION APPROACH & | ||
| 18 | METHODS | ||
| 19 | The evaluation approach influences the methods used, and in turn, | ||
| 20 | how data is collected, analyzed and presented | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | For example: | ||
| 23 | * Select users. | ||
| 24 | * Stay on budget. | ||
| 25 | * Stay on schedule. | ||
| 26 | * Find participants. | ||
| 27 | * Select equipment. | ||
| 28 | Perform a pilot (trial) study! | ||

| 37 | ==== GOOD EVALUATION ==== | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | * Establishing convincing arguments for your design solution | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | * By conducting complementary and regular evaluations at different stages | ||
| 42 | of your design process using the appropriate evaluation methods | ||
| 43 | (e.g. summative, formative, expert-based, observational, ...) | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | * Evaluations should result in insights regarding possible problems and | ||
| 46 | their causes in order to support refinement of your design specification | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | * Look at user experience in its full breadth: Effectiveness, efficiency, | ||
| 49 | satisfaction, learnability, mood, connectedness, ... | ||
