Evaluation of Artifacts in Design Science
HICSS ½ Day Tutorial
Presenter: Gondy Leroy, University of Arizona
Tutorials are included with your HICSS registration.
9am – 12pm, January 8, 2019


Learn how to conduct evaluations that fit within the design science paradigm.

Design science is of increasing importance in IS with many of the main and top journals recognizing it as an important research approach in our field. This tutorial will teach attendees experimental design and the use of ANOVA and t-tests to evaluate artifacts under different conditions and in different stages of the development cycle.

First, the tutorial will provide a quick overview of evaluation types with suitable statistical analysis and how these fit in the different phases of artifact development. Then, practical advice will be given on common evaluation mistakes that can avoided. Combined, this knowledge will help the attendee design better studies, optimize execution and increase the chances of finding interesting and solid results.

Gondy Leroy, PhD, is Professor of MIS at the University of Arizona. Her research focuses on the design, development and evaluation of artifacts that support, facilitate and improve information exchange between people. She has worked on apps to facilitate communication with children with autism, search engines for biomedical information, information extraction and interview systems for crime witness reports and recently she has focused on automating text simplification in healthcare as well as extracting mental health diagnostic information from electronic health records. She is the PI on projects totaling over $2.5M in federal funding from NIH, NSF, Microsoft Research and several foundations. She has her education background in experimental psychology with a combined BS and MS (1996) from the Catholic University of Leuven, (1996) and a MIS (1999) and PhD (2003) from the University of Arizona. She authored the book “Designing User Studies in Informatics (Springer, 2011) (freely available from most academic libraries). Finally, she is an active contributor to increasing the diversity and inclusion in computing and founded and leads the “Tomorrow’s Leaders Equipped for Diversity” program at the University of Arizona’s Eller School of Management.
