Pre-Activity Survey

1. Have you ever worked in a video conferencing environment previously:

2. What is educational background (primary discipline):

3. What are your expectations of usefulness/limitations of TB:

4. Do you have any experiences working on other projects with people int he meeting:

Analysis:

• Overall the users were familiar with video conferencing/digital collaborative tools
• Most of the participants were coming into the meeting with an educational perspective and with thoughts about the potential educational uses of the TB system
• Most of the respondents knew and/or had worked with the other members of the group before... it seems reasonable to assume that they were familiar with some of the other participants collaborative styles ~ however this does not mean they knew everybody and only 6 of approximately 12 (check this) members answered the survey.

Post-Activity

1. How did this experience compare to with your expectations/previous experiences:

2. How do you think your educational/work background influenced your interaction with TB:

3. Having used TB, what are your thoughts on its usefulness/possible limitations:

Analysis

• Most of the users were frustrated with the system, either because of its limitations in its technical robustness... it seems that all the problems (limitations, functionality, being limited) stem from this... I think more answers to these questions will come out in the recording and I don't want to read into these answers too much
• Again only half of the group members completed a survey, so I'm not sure how complete these finding are, but there was a general consensus about TB's problems
