Hi Christina,
We have used forms on google docs for diary studies successfully in the
past.
- Users only see a neat data entry form (there are some restrictions on the
types of data fields google docs allow)
- Data is collected in Excel worksheets which can be downloaded and used for
analysis.
I conducted a diary study using google docs (forms for surveys,
spreadsheets for data collection). This was useful considering all

I don't know that much about interaction MAs in the US, but right
now, in Europe, I think the biggest two are at CIID and Umeå

CIID is one year and Umeå's MA degree is two years long. You can

Just to play devil's advocate, what's a masters degree in ID going to get
you other than a depleted bank account? (FYI, I'm assuming ID refers to web

Hugh,
We have more than 30 IA's (we call them UXA's) in our group and close
to 75% have graduate degrees in Interaction design, HCI or an MBA. It
is not a critical criteria in our hiring process, but it's sure become
the norm amongst those able to show ability, experience and knowledge.
All UK taught masters are 1 year only. Most aren't in interaction design but
in HCI or usability.

know of - I don't know much about the programs, except that they exist.
Hugh,
cynicism aside, it really all depends on who you are what it will get
you.
First, I know of few programs that are web interaction programs.
I'm not saying that they are bad, but most interaction design
programs include all facets of designing for behavior. Product,

I think part of the issue is where you come from. Very few of the IA/
