22 CHAPTER 1 Introduction to HCI research

RESEARCH DESIGN EXERCISE

Imagine that you are going to be researching the topic of why people choose to take
part in an online community for parents of children with autism. What are some of
the reference disciplines that you should be looking into? What types of people might
you want to talk with? What types of metrics might be appropriate for understanding
this community? Come up with three approaches that you could take in researching
this online community.
