As a new medium for questionnaire delivery, the Internet has the
potential to revolutionize the survey process. Online (Web-based)
questionnaires provide several advantages over traditional survey
methods in terms of cost, speed, appearance, flexibility,
functionality, and usability [Bandilla et al. 2003; Dillman 2000;
Kwak & Radler 2002]. Online-questionnaires can provide many
capabilities not found in traditional paper-based questionnaires:
they can include pop-up instructions and error messages; they can
incorporate links; and it is possible to encode difficult skip
patterns making such patterns virtually invisible to respondents.
Despite this, and the emergence of numerous tools to support
online-questionnaire creation, current electronic survey design
typically replicates the look-and-feel of pap- based
questionnaires, thus failing to harness the full power of the
electronic survey medium. A recent environmental scan of
online-questionnaire design tools found that little, if any,
support is incorporated within these tools to guide questionnaire
design according to best-practice [Lumsden & Morgan 2005]. This
paper briefly introduces a comprehensive set of guidelines for the
design of online-questionnaires. It then focuses on an informal
observational study that has been conducted as an initial
assessment of the value of the set of guidelines as a practical
reference guide during online-questionnaire design. 2 Background
Online-questionnaires are often criticized in terms of their
vulnerability to the four standard survey error types: namely,
coverage, non-response, sampling, and measurement errors.
This monograph lays out a discussion framework for understanding
the role of human-computer interaction (HCI) in public
policymaking. It takes an international view, discussing potential
areas for research and application and their potential for impact.
The aim is to provide a solid foundation for discussion,
cooperation and collaborative interaction, and to outline future
programs of activity. It starts with an introduction to HCI and
public policy and goes on to discuss how HCI research and practices
already inform public policy, providing representative examples. It
then discusses how public policy influences HCI and provides
representative public policy areas that are relevant to HCI, and
where HCI could have even more impact in the future. It concludes
by laying out a framework for involvement and suggested actions by
the HCI community in public policy internationally. This monograph
summarizes the observations and recommendations from a daylong
workshop at the CHI 2013 conference in Paris, France. The workshop
invited the community's perspectives regarding the intersection of
governmental policies, international and domestic standards, recent
HCI research discoveries, and emergent considerations and
challenges. It also incorporates contributions made after the
workshop by workshop participants and by individuals who were
unable to participate in the workshop but whose work and interests
were highly related and relevant.
