Yes, this isn’t exactly weekly at the moment. I’ve been pretty sick the past 2 weeks, although I’m not trying to make excuses. I am finally recovering, though.
During the past 2 weeks at PARC, I wrote and piloted an interview on information sharing practices in the workplace. From it, I created a survey that I posted on Mechanical Turk, where I’ve received 10 responses from unnamed entities each of whom I paid $0.25 for their response. I’m currently evaluating the quality of the responses and deciding if we should tweak the survey further before opening it up to hundreds of people.
I’ve also got the subjects for my second year project lined up. There are 4. I am still waiting to receive consent forms from two of them. One has already begun recording files for me. The rest will begin sometime next week.
This is a short update this time. But better short than nothing!
