Full Title:
Posting for Community and Culture: Considerations for the Design of Interactive Digital Bulletin Boards
Authors:
Claude Fortin, Carman Neustaedter, Kate Hennessy
Abstract:
The next decade is likely to see a shift in digital public displays moving from non-interactive to interactive content. This will likely create a need for digital bulletin boards and for a better understanding of how such displays should be designed to encourage community members to interact with them. Our study addresses this by exploring community bulletin boards as a ubiquitous type of participatory non-digital display “in the wild”. Our results highlight how they are used for content of local and contextual relevance, and how cultures of participation, personalization, location, the tangible character of architecture, access, control and flexibility might affect community members’ level of engagement with them. Our analysis suggests entry points as design considerations intrinsically linked to the users’ sense of agency within a delineated space. Overlaps with related work are identified throughout to provide further validation of previous findings in this area of research.

The Three Peters (B&W, cropped)
The Three Peters (B&W, cropped)
Image by aforgrave
This is my second, and more formal, portrait of The Three Peters.
The first "portrait" was an unposed shot taken in a computer lab at the OTF Google Workshop for Educators in the fall of 2010.
However, in this instance, we are located in the lobby of the Sheraton hotel convention centre in Richmond Hill, and we found a nice alcove with two chairs and a glass table.
As explained to me, Peter Beens (left, @pbeens) is Peter #1. Peter McAsh (right, @pmcash) is Peter #2. (I liked the story about how Peter McAsh used to go by the handle of Peter(notBeens) as the second Peter on the ancient electronic message board.
And Peter Skillen (centre, @peterskillen), ECOO Ambassador to ISTE (and vice versa), is Peter #3.
As far as I’m concered, all of these fine gentlemen are #1.
