Designing Studies

📄️ Designing Forms

Form elements are essential for most studies to capture user responses. reVISit provides rich form elements, such as slides, check-boxes, text fields, etc, so that you can efficiently design your forms.

📄️ Designing Image/Video Stimuli

Image and video stimuli are essential for most studies. They can be used to present visual information, such as charts, images, or videos, to participants. This tutorial provides an overview of how to use image and video stimuli in your study.

📄️ Designing an HTML Stimulus

Now, we will take the study we just created and add another component based on a user-created HTML file. This allows for some additional customization of the component.

📄️ Designing a React Stimulus

React is a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces, primarily for single-page applications. You can find more details on the official React documentation.

📄️ Designing a Vega Stimulus

Vega and Vega-Lite are popular visualization grammars for creating data visualizations.

📄️ Responses and Answers

In reVISit, a component typically has a response that is recorded when a participant completes a task. Responses can be provided via form elements or via some other kind of payload through your custom component and a ReactiveResponse.

📄️ Study Sequence

Once you have defined the components you want to be part of your study, you need to tell reVISit what order to show the components in. This is done by defining a sequence object in the reVISit Spec, which has a variety of powerful options for different randomization types, as well as attention checks, breaks, and advanced skip logic for more complex studies.

📄️ Dynamic Blocks

Some studies require knowledge of the participant's responses to previous questions to determine the next component that is shown. For example, if a participant answers a question incorrectly, they may be shown a simpler task next. Alternatively, if a participant answers a question correctly, they may be shown a more difficult task next. This is a common feature in adaptive testing, where the difficulty of the questions adapts to the participant's performance.

📄️ Provenance Tracking

ReVISit has integrated provenance tracking with Trrack, a state-based provenance tracking library maintained by the same team that maintains reVISit. The below example shows a simple example for using trrack, for more detailed information on trrack and its API visit the trrack documentation

📄️ Think Aloud

ReVISit has integrated audio recording and audio playback for conducting in-person or crowdsourced think-aloud studies. Audio is only recorded while using firebase storage, and will not activate if using local storage.

📄️ Record Screen

ReVISit provides built-in support for screen recording and playback, enabling both in-person and crowdsourced tracking studies.

📄️ reVISit Libraries

We provide predefined libraries of study components and validated questionnaires for visualization and HCI. These libraries that are easy to integrate into your study configurations as individual components or sequences of components.

📄️ Applying Styles

ReVISit provides flexible styling capabilities to customize the appearance of your study components and responses. You can apply styles at three levels: globally through UI configuration, at the component level, and at the response level.
