User Research
Research we did
Specifiy the research you did: Participant selection/target group, style of data-gathering (observation, asking questions, focus group etc.)
During the course Human Centered Design we conducted an exploratory user study to find out about the acquaintance of Creative Commons, potential pitfalls and caveats of its usage. Our probands where selected from students of the Bauhaus University Weimar from courses of studies ranging from Media Arts & Design over Visual Communication to Product Design aged between 20 - 28 years. All of them were selected for their unawareness of local copyright jurisdiction and licensing models (e.g. CC). The short interviews took place in their personal environment during the activity of publishing original content on their personal (micro)blogging platforms. In advance our group defined the basic premise of identifying the users motivation of publishing their works in the web. After each interview we presented the participants with the concept of Creative Commons and introduced them to the website and the function of choosing their own fitting license.
One participant gladly allowed us to publish the complete interview which you can download here: (German language) Part 1 Media:interview-p3-part1.mp3 Part 2 Media:interview-p3-part2.mp3
