Situated learning focuses on learning in situ, in the environment or context for which that knowledge applies. At Situated Research, we focus on examining technology in the actual environment in which it is used, in order to uncover user practices and behaviors that suggest ways in which technology is expected to behave.

We use a mixed-method approach that incorporates a variety of contemporary research techniques. This allows us to construct a very detailed picture of the needs of your end-users. This ensures your users can fulfill their goals and expectations while enjoying the experience of using your product.
