Remote UX Research – From Home

House in the distance

In my latest UXmatters article, I provide some advice about setting you your home workspace to conduct remote UX research. Whether you have a home office, or you’re making do while you have to work from home during the pandemic, it’s important to have the right setup for long days of remote research sessions.

Working from home during the Covid-19 pandemic, and having to conduct all research remotely, I’ve discovered (sometimes the hard way) some useful tips for conducting remote UX research from home. In my latest article, “Conducting Remote UX Research from Home,” I provide some useful tips, including:

  • Setting up the right home environment, including investing in the right desk and chair
  • Ensuring that your background (physical or virtual) looks professional
  • Wearing the right attire so you don’t appear over or under-dressed
  • Eliminating distractions at home from other people and pets
  • Setting up your technology for your own comfort and ease of use
  • Reminding participants to be in the right environment for their sessions
  • Planning your session schedule carefully
  • Keeping your project team and clients up to date

Remote UX Research: Advantages and Disadvantages

With COVID, we’ve all had to move all of our UX research to remote UX research. Remote UX research methods have improved greatly over the past ten years to the point where they have many advantages over in-person research. However, there are still some disadvantages of remote UX research.

In the past, we had the luxury of choosing to do in-person research when it made the most sense or remote research when that made the most sense. Since we no longer have a choice, we’ve had to be creative in overcoming the limitations of remote UX research.

In my latest two-part article on UX matters, I discuss the many advantages of remote UX research and how to best overcome the disadvantages of remote UX research. Check these out on UXmatters:
