Im nachfolgenden Text von Dr. habil. Ilse Harms und Werner Schweibenz wird ein mehrstufiges und kombiniertes Verfahren beschrieben, wie es auch in unserem Arbeitsbereich Anwendung findet:

"This work describes an eye tracking study of the e-learning system Moodle outlining how Moodle’s learning materials are explored, selected and processed. The goal of this study was to investigate several cognitive variables and the exploratory learning processes itself. The experiment addressed research objectives such as the individual order of selecting learning material, the visual scanning of Moodle's environment, the importance of "Gestalt laws" respectively rules of pre-attentive perception, the influence of the involvement-factor as well as usability aspects. "

"Usability practitioners often rely on research participants' verbal reports to better understand the user experience. These reports can be collected either during or after task execution, with each approach entailing unique benefits and limitations. This note presents a framework for using eye tracking data to "trigger" when and how moderators probe participants for verbal comments during task execution to supplement or elaborate participant-initiated comments. A preliminary case study suggests that this approach affords a level of efficiency and effectiveness difficult to achieve with retrospective verbalization or without the use of eye tracking. The hope is that practitioners will be encouraged to use and refine this method for the benefit of the field."

"Dieser Kurs ist gedacht für Teilnehmer, die keine oder nur sehr geringe Erfahrung mit Axure RP Pro haben und die "Rapid Prototyping" lernen wollen (...) Typischerweise sind dies oft User-Experience-Designer, Informationsarchitekten, Interaction-Designer, Usability-Consultants, Graphikdesigner, Interface-Entwickler, Texter, Produktmanager oder Business-Analysten."

We're witnessing an explosion of applications that no longer have a graphical user interface (GUI). They've actually been around for a while, but they've only recently started spreading into the mainstream. They are called bots, virtual assistants, invisible apps.

If your working week is anything like mine, I'd wager the term "discoverability" comes up often. Typically we use it when asking if a feature explains its presence and function. Will users encounter and understand it properly? Discoverability feels like a straightforward concept: if someone doesn't realize what a product can do, she'll never get the most from it.
