Abstract

Arranging sufficient research participation within time and resource constraints is seldom an easy feat. Often, such constraints are a detriment to thorough empirical evaluation of human-computer interfaces. Our objective is to develop the means to test and construct human models which when applied to interface and system development, result in efficient human computer interactions. We report an online platform for experiment delivery to diverse locations with an emphasis on alternative non-monetary rewards for participation. Such a platform meets research goals within constraints as it necessitates a simple web server and web programming. Also addressed are the omnipotent issues of ethics, privacy and data integrity that arise in similar proposals.
