Weekly update - Future of Second Screen

Group name

ScreenWorld

What we have done

During the last week we kept on working on the finalization of our idea. The feedback we got from Malin and Daniel helped us clear the air and understand the direction we should move towards. Among other things, we tried to establish a theoretical background through academic research, we conducted a questionnaire for future interviews, we created our project’s personas and last but not least we are waiting feedback from significant individuals in the field.

What we will do

During next week, we are planning to conduct interviews; both qualitative and quantitative. This will be followed by a rough first analysis so as to have some data for the mid-term presentation on Friday. What we aim for in the end is to propose ways for the enhancement of second screen’s role into the future of news with a focus on Breaking News.

Problems encountered

We came across a number of issues trying to define what our path will be. This led to some discussions reevaluating what our project plan was. In the end, we feel secured in our idea and feel good about continuing on.

Changes in the project

There were no major changes in our project, just a more clearly defined path.
