Dr. Gitte Lindgaard is Director of the Human Oriented Technology Lab (HOT Lab) at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada and Professor holding a NSERC/Cognos Chair in User-Centered Product Design. She published various articles on visual appeal and aesthetics in human-technology interaction. In this interview she summarizes the main outcomes of her research and discusses aspects for further resear...

This study aims to develop physics practicum guidelines that can improve students' scientific reasoning. The development of in this was based on the principles Higher Order Thinking Laboratory (HOT-Lab). Using ADDIE design, which consists five stages: analyze, develop, implement, and evaluate, general are developed three parts, namely pre-practicum, lab, post-practicum. participants involved co...

Protein-protein interactions are central to almost any cellular process. Although typically protein interfaces are large, it is well established that only a relatively small region, the so-called 'hot spot', contributes the most to the total binding energy. There is a clear interest in identifying hot spots because of its application in drug discovery and protein design. Presaging Critical Resi...

Liquid hot water pretreatment is considered to be a promising method for increasing biomass digestibility due the moderate operational conditions without chemical additions. A necessary step towards scalability of this process performing pilot plant trials. Upscaling was evaluated with scaling factor 500, by using 50 mL in laboratory and 25 L batch reactor. Pretreatment times were varied from 3...

This research was based on the need for improving critical and creative thinking skills of student in the 21-st century. In this research, we have implemented HOT-Lab model for topic of force. The model was characterized by problem solving and higher order thinking development through real laboratory activities. This research used a quasy experiment method with pre-test post-test control group ...

Why do you study autophagy? i joined the sass lab to study autophagy in 1996 when i was an undergraduate in my second year. the lab was starting to work with a new model at that time: Drosophila. i stayed there for my phD, and i could graduate partly thanks to a soros fellowship that allowed me to work for 6 months at two excellent Drosophila genetics labs in szeged. the next big step was joini...

Practicum activity is a scientific process to find out phenomenon or validate concept. HOT-LAB in laboratory activities useful improving 4C skills, including Critical Thinking Skills. The number of Modules E-Modules that use cookbook guided inquiries was less increase the Skills supporting 21st Century skills. This study aimed design, create and effect using HOT-LAB-based improve students’ rese...

Research on decision making under uncertainty demonstrates that intuitive ideas of randomness depart systematically from the laws of chance. Two such departures involving random sequences of events have been documented in the laboratory, the gambler’s fallacy and the hot hand. This study presents results from the field, using videotapes of patrons gambling in a casino, to examine the existence ...

Which tools will be available for tomorrow's usability tester and HCI researcher? The multimodal interfaces of future applications (driven by speech, facial expressions, gestures, eye movement, physiological data, etc.), remote tests and multiuser applications pose new challenges with respect to data collection and analysis. During this session their usefulness will be discussed.
