- "The Dynamo system was developed to support multi-user interaction with digital media on a large surface"
- Two levels of user engagement. Anyone can interact with one, only registered users can use the other level - Carving
- 'Carven' areas are parts where registered users can create their own areas, and only people they choose can interact with this area.
- Users can also use parcels, which allow media to be posted and left on the display for 'extended periods of time in an iconified form'.
- User study - Dynamo was deployed in a common room for 6th form students, because it was a place people regularly socialized between classes
- Students, at first, mostly used Dynamo to share photo's video's and music, but in the second week it was used for a wider range of things such as parcels.
Qualative data
Page 4 Final paragraph. Lists the different types of user interactions.
Page 7 Paragraphs 3 and 4 under section 6: discussion. These wo paragraphs include comments from students about the Dyanamo system and what was good about it.
Quantative data
Page 4 Paragraph 1(after list). States the number of students that could be involved in the study
Page 5 Figure 5. Shows how many interactions were made with the Dynamo system at specific times during the day.
Qualitative Data represented Quantitatively
Page 5 Figure 6. The graph shows the amount different types of media that was displayed on the Dynamo surface throught the 2 weeks. The qualitative data is the different types of media on the surface, the quantitative data is the number of each of the different types of media that were displayed.
To do this they user a bar chart. They used one bar for each day of the two weeks. Each bar added up to the total of items displayed on the board during that day. Each bar also contained the number of different types of media that were displayed. This helped show which types of media were displayed the most, and which types the students used the least.
