Yesterday, the 22nd, I got the amazing and nerve-wrecking opportunity to present at the IEE Frontiers in Education (FIE) in El Paso, Texas. This was my first time attending a publication based conference. I learned of many others in the fields and the advances they have been making. The most rewarding aspect was receiving emails and having other professors express interest in my research! I absolutely loved spending the time with Dr. Hsiao and am really grateful to her for this opportunity!
We have come up with a preliminary user study design. We have two groups: a control and experiment. Both groups will have to rate answers to various StackOverflow questions.
Control: In this group, all the answers to a particular question will be presented as they are on StackOverflow. These are usually ordered both by the number of votes and chronologically. Experiment: In this group, only the answers that have a constructiveness score of three or higher are presented. We hypothesize that the user will still learn as much as from the control groups even though the number of posts has decreased, reducing navigation complexity. This week I created my presentation which I will be presenting at the IEE Frontiers in Education Conference and rehearsed it in front of the lab group, who ask me questions in preparation for the conference.
