RESEARCH LABS
As part of the third floor remodeling project completed in 2013, four research labs were created to make dedicated spaces for on-going faculty and student research projects. Faculty who receive grants or have special projects involving master's and/or doctoral students in the School of Information can apply to use these spaces on an on-going basis. For more information, contact the iSchool at ischool@kent.edu or 330-672-2782.
Usability Lab
The Usability Lab in the School of Information uses state-of-the-art technologies — including eye tracking, multiple camera views and detailed analysis software — to assess user behavior and interaction with a website or search engine, for example, to guide or improve its structure and architecture. The lab is used mainly by faculty and students in the Master of Science user experience (UX) concentration. It also is used by other faculty whose research can be assisted by this technology.
