Following the recent concerning and uncertain events happening in the world we may expect at least one sure thing: the needs and demands for the interactive technologies for education, work, communication and entertainment will only rise. Today we continue our story about the technologies we used during our workshops with the ones that our participants were particularly curious to try – as itself 360/VR video is.
After having 7 participants talk and share their own cultural activities and thoughts about creating content for the app, Barcelona is ready to analyse their data.
Our students at Newcastle University studying MA in Applied Linguistics and TESOL visited the iLab: learn last Tuesday as part of their Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) module.
During the needs analysis workshops in January-February, our participants introduced to a variety of different media tools: interactive image, interactive slide, interactive video, normal video, 360/VR video, and 360 picture. One of the workshops’ result will be assessment of those technologies to understand the requirements of our prospective ENACT app users.
We have completed two more workshops in order to understand the requirements of our prospective ENACT app users: one in Newcastle and one in Istanbul.
On January 9, 2020 the understanding requirements workshop took place in Helsinki, Finland. The workshop was organised by University of Helsinki and Cultura Foundation. The aim of the study was to find out the users’ cultural and digital needs to guide the app design.
We are pleased to share that we are running our understanding requirements workshops in January in all partner countries: UK, Finland, Spain, and Turkey!
We have already run a pilot study in the UK in December, which helped us finalise our procedures and materials.
It has been about two months since the ENACT project started, and we have already made a lot of progress!
We had an online project meeting on 20 September, and our project kick-off meeting in Newcastle Upon Tyne on 24-25 October 2019. We had two full meeting days and covered lots of detail. We discussed our outputs, planned for dissemination, identified ways to evaluate impact, and made key decisions. Of course, we did not forget to have some fun and socialise!
