During the process of evaluating our first prototype we received a short message from one of our participants who complained about a change on her blog platform which messed up the layout of her license tag and rendered it functionally broken. | During the process of evaluating our first prototype we received a short message from one of our participants who complained about a change on her blog platform which messed up the layout of her license tag and rendered it functionally broken. | ||

This call for help gave us the impulse to focus our attention more towards the usability of our proposed license manager application, which will aid the non-tech-savvy user in the process of correctly tagging his works with the approriate license. Our group came to the conclusion to roll back our initial development from behind and decided to approach the problem the opposite way around. We assume that the typical user of our chosen target group decrees an intrinsic motivation to tag his work with appropriate copyright information. | This call for help gave us the impulse to focus our attention more towards the usability of our proposed license manager application, which will aid the non-tech-savvy user in the process of correctly tagging his works with the approriate license.

We deliberately chose an empty looking tag icon similar to those provided by Creative Commons, and would arrange those in view to spark the users interest in the CC licenses just because of their look. As soon as a license has been chosen the software would provide an option for the most common blogging platforms (tumblr, soup.io, wordpress, facebook, google+, etc). In case the user choses a platform whose own license agreements for publishing material collide with a Creative Commons license it warns the user about arising difficulties concerning his rights. Through this methology we achieve our goal of creating interest in the CC model and are able to educate the user during his usual workflow. | ||

During the course we want to conduct a quantitive user study if there exists a particular interest in such a software. At the moment we concentrate on developing a testable prototype and invited our previous participants to take part in such a study. | During the course we want to conduct a quantitive user study if there exists a particular interest in such a software.
