Running the Experiment

Don't forget to have an extra consent form for participants, should they want their own copy.

Booking a room

To book a room in the Usability Lab (X727), go to this site: http://hct.ece.ubc.ca/mrbs/admin.php. There, you'll need to create a new experiment before you can reserve a room for it.

As of June 13, 2014, there is a javascript bug preventing easy creation of new experiments. When attempting to submit the new experiment form an error dialog pops up saying the Sponsor field is empty, despite it being filled in. If this happens, you can fix it by inspecting the Sponsor input field element in your browser and deleting it from the DOM. You'll note that there is an additional hidden input field there that still has the sponsor information, so the form should work correctly. The admins have been informed, but have decided not to fix it.

For instance, beware that the "end date" will not be included if you create a daily repeat booking).
