Today marks the completion of my second semester in my masters program. This semester I was able to learn a lot about usability and conducting research. In my job I had the opportunity to do some user research, but I am glad with these classes we had the opportunity to use some different resources to conduct our own little studies. I learned much more about how to set up and conduct a study as well as look and report data. I like the set up of the classes being more project based than lecture based. I feel that I have had the opportunity to learn a lot more because of this setup.
This week in particular I liked learning about gathering data from eye tracking devices. I have had chances read about eye tracking but having the opportunity to parse out eye tracking data was fun. I am excited for my next semester and to see what new opportunities this program will bring.
