Hi all, This idea of the "research framework" has really gotten stuck in my mind since we began altering our process here at Evantage. But here's the problem... I don't have a specific definition of what exactly this means. So I've made one up:
Research Framework: A collection of things to ask & things to observe in particular contexts, along with contextually appropriate techniques for doing so. It also includes processes for integrating research/data from other practice areas as well as specific methodologies for making meaning of the raw research. So for those of you who have used/developed research frameworks before, is the above definition accurate? How have you gone about developing your research frameworks? What advice do you have for someone beginning to do this? Are there any examples out there that can be shared? (The only one I'm aware of [but haven't seen] is Todd Zaki Warfel's.) Thanks all, have a good NYE F. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fred Beecher Sr. User Experience Consultant Evantage Consulting O: 612.230.3838 // M: 612.810.6745 IM: [email protected] (google/msn) // fredevc (aim/yahoo) T: http://twitter.com/fred_beecher ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
