Choir SiftWiki

  • Consider these other projects first Choirup..
  • Context The ultimate goal of the Choir Sift process is that LearnersA+B can validate that LearnerA has learned, tried, hacked the way MentorA does a SkillSet. A secondary goal is that EvaluatorA (an employer, university, etc) can easily verify and trust the validation.
  • Problem To achieve this goal, we need to help SiftersA+B to be more effective, and improve the quality of the insights and artifacts that they produce.
  • Solution SiftWiki is a platform that organizes the Sift process, freeing up Sifters and Mentors to focus on their interactions.
  • Consider next projectZ

Analysis

Initial Hypotheses

Research Observations

  • For this simple project, the Research Method will rely on qualitative accounts from 45+ Sift interviews.
  • Rationale This is a sample project. A larger project might use different/more extensive approaches.
  • Observations
    • O1 Interviews yield lots of data Each Sift interview generated 1.5-2hrs of HD video, pages of handwritten notes, and a hand-drawn artifact from the Mentor. All artifacts must be available online for Sifters for an extended period of time.
    • O2 Sifters have a lot to do Ideally, two Sifters will be able to coordinate/conduct an interview (including video, archiving) without assistance.
    • O3 Data generation is continual Sifters often find/add data post-interview, which requires that the artifacts in O1 are online, findable, and easily editable.
    • O4 Sifters have a range of digital fluency Sifters to date possess moderate digital fluency, but are willing to learn.

Insights

  • I1 Gather Sift data early Help Sifters and Mentors to generate data without having to think about it.
  • I2 Structure Sift data early Add structure to data (timestamps, tags) as early as possible.

Design

Concepts

  • C1 Time increases Cost The costs of creating data and structure increase exponentially over time.
  • C2 Insight Trails A user who was not part of Sift Interview should be able to trace its origin, either directly or indirectly, to its source or sources in an interview or artifact.
  • C3 Personas include
