I was very surprised that such a framework or template didn't all ready exist. In most cases, researchers will choose a single attribute and use that to classify users as "experts" or "novices". For example, the most common selection criteria I've seen is to use Web developers as "internet experts", and computer science students and professors as "computer experts".</p> <div class="field field-type-link field-field-links"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Related Links:&nbsp;</div> <a href="http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/economic/friedman/rateratingscales.htm">Rating The Rating Scales</a> </div> </div> </div> <p><a href="http://www.abdevelopment.ca/blog/5-tips-integrating-rating-scales-your-surveys" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://www.abdevelopment.ca/blog/5-tips-integrating-rating-scales-your-surveys#comments Interactive Cognitive Computing masters thesis Wed, 10 Jun 2009 00:51:01 +0000 andrew 100 at http://www.abdevelopment.ca Increasing Awareness of Privacy Policies through Graphical Representation http://www.abdevelopment.ca/blog/increasing-awareness-privacy-policies-through-graphical-representation <p>I've had a few people ask me for information about my research for my MSc; here's an overview of the current state of my research and where I'm headed.</p> <div class="field field-type-link field-field-links"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Related Links:&nbsp;</div> <a href="http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=1099203.1099220">Uncovering privacy attitudes and practices in instant messaging</a> </div> <div class="field-item"> <div class="field-label-inline"> Related Links:&nbsp;</div> <a href="http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=1053291.1053295">Privacy in e-commerce: stated preferences vs. actual behavior</a> </div> </div> </div> <p><a href="http://www.abdevelopment.ca/blog/increasing-awareness-privacy-policies-through-graphical-representation" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://www.abdevelopment.ca/blog/increasing-awareness-privacy-policies-through-graphical-representation#comments Interactive Cognitive Computing masters thesis Sun, 12 Apr 2009 00:52:13 +0000 andrew 95 at http://www.abdevelopment.ca Research Seminar Presentation: Increasing Awareness of Privacy Policies through Graphical Representation http://www.abdevelopment.ca/blog/research-seminar-presentation-increasing-awareness-privacy-policies-through-graphical-represent <p>Here is a copy of my presentation from my research seminar.
