I am being asked to participate in a research study to help the researcher provide my feedback and recommendations for his mockup application. The feedback data will help the researcher analyze the comments, and adapt machine learning practices to learn and express user behavior for the application.
As a participant in this study, I will be asked to look through several design prototypes and answer questions through a web-based survey. Each of my responses will be stored in a password protected database, which will be used by the researcher to help the researcher explore if the design “looks and feels” complete.
This should take about 10-15 minutes.
My participation in this study does not involve any significant risks and I have been informed that my participation in this research will not benefit me personally, but the results or outcome of study will benefit user experience designers understand how people feel about different fidelity prototypes.
Any information learned and collected from this study in which I might be identified will remain confidential and will be disclosed ONLY if I give permission. All information collected in this study will be stored in a database system. Only the investigator and members of the research team will have access to these records. If information learned from this study is published, I will not be identified by name. By clicking accept at the bottom of this form, however, I allow the research study investigator to make my records available to the University of Baltimore Institutional Review Board (IRB) and regulatory agencies as required to do so by law.
Consenting to participate in this research also indicates my agreement that all information collected from me individually may be used by current and future researchers in such a fashion that my personal identity will be protected. Such use will include sharing anonymous information with other researchers for checking the accuracy of study findings and for future approved research that has the potential for improving human knowledge.
The principal investigator, Greg Walsh, has offered to and has answered any and all questions regarding my participation in this research study. If I have any further questions, I can contact Dr. Greg Walsh at (gwalsh@ubalt.edu) or 410-837-5473 or I can contact the University of Baltimore’s Institution Review Board Coordinator at (irb@ubalt.edu) or 410-837-6199.
