Attending a research event

Best practices when attending a research event.

Attending a UX research session can be enlightening! However, it’s important to let the researcher take the lead on interactions with the participant. Some tips when attending sessions:

  • If you have time, reach out to the researcher to let them know you’ll be attending. Ask them how they prefer to receive questions during the session.
  • Turn off your video.
  • Mute yourself.
  • Make sure to take notes in the appropriate Dovetail project.
  • If you have questions you’d like the researcher to ask during the session, use their preferred method of communicating them.
  • When the participant leaves the session, stay on video to share with the researcher what you learned from the session.
