Project Description
This is a description of a Practical Research Project associated with the PREP course
Project Title
Literature Survey on Mobile User Experience Research Methods
Quarter
Q1 2010
Responsible
Second level advisor: Susanne Bødker.
Aims
In this project, the participant will conduct a literature survey on methods for mobile user experience research and mobile user studies [1]. The goal is a comprehensive overview of the different methods in the final report. [2] and [3] can be used to find relevant literature and more references will be provided at the start of the project. There is also the possibility to extend this project into actually planning and conducting mobile user studies depending on the literature found.
