Summary
Thanks to everyone who was able to make it out to the meeting! We made a lot of progress and are ready to move forward with beginning the multi-institutional user interviewing process with six institutions committed and four more interested.
At the meeting we:
- Decided the overarching research question for our user interviews should be:
- Why and how do instructors use scholarly resources while preparing and conducting their courses?
- Though library and Sakai integration effects students, librarians, instructional designers and others at institutions, we decided this focus on instructors and their course activities would be a great place to start our research efforts. We may decide to take on another user group and activity to study based on how this first round goes.
- Agreed upon a user interviewing timeline and process
- The examples in the user interviewing and process documentation need to be modified to express the above research question, formalized to be used in the actual interviewing process and reviewed by our group of interviewers. The Data Analysis Group is responsible for this work.
- Collected a list of all those interested in participating in the Data Analysis Group and Interviewer Group.
Next steps include:
- Coordinating communication amongst and between the Data Analysis Group and Interviewer Group.
- Over the next week (until 24 Sept), the Data Analysis Group will define the target interviewee audience and develop an interviewee recruitment plan. The Interviewer Group will review these items and start sharing interviewee candidates from their institutions.
- Over the following week (25 Sept to 1 Oct), the Data Analysis Group will develop an interview protocol and the Interviewer Group will review it.
- Scheduling and conducting interviews will begin October 2nd.
Our next meeting will be 15 October. This meeting will be used primarily to share updates on how the interviewing process is going and any modifications that need to be made at that time.
