'The eyes don't lie': How Eye-Tracking Doubles as a Community Research and Pedagogical Tool

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

This experience report shares how eye tracking technology was incorporated into an introductory course on technical communication, offering students the opportunity to interface with a UX research tool that allows for direct feedback on multimodal projects. Discussing this project in light of research from the field focusing on community-based research and accessibility, the potentials and limitations of eye tracking are discussed, along with examples of how assignment framing and context serve essential functions in grounding the tool in human-centered design. Reflections on how eye tracking can be positioned as a technology that enhances student understanding of how their design work impacts communities are shared, including considerations for future projects and applications of the technology in both pedagogy and research.
