Interactive information dashboards user performance and interaction patterns

A study on four interaction and information presentation dashboard problems: 1. information overload, 2. inappropriate data order and grouping 3. ineffective data presentation 4. misalignment in visual literacy expectations <br> Each dashboard had two types: problematic and adapted. Then each type had two tasks. <br> <strong>File 1 (dependent and independent variables):</strong> 63 participants completed the experiment, so for each user, we have user graph literacy (0-4), effectiveness(0 or 1 for each task), efficiency (completion time in minutes for each task), perceived performance (0-20 for each task) and perceived cognitive demand (0-20 for each task). <br> <strong>File 2 (interaction patterns):</strong> 50 participants interacted with the dashboards while their low-level inttraction data was being collected using UCIVIT tool. The file contains eight dashboards (first 8 sheets) each containing the patterns exhibited by participants (a pattern consists of 4 or more events). Then there are sheets for mapping participant IDs between the two files. Finally, last sheet contains keys to decode what each event in the patterns means.
