• Accomplish Fluid Engage Design research tasks related to the first design iteration. These tasks include:
  • Benchmarking:
    • go-alongs: Exploration & observation of DIA
    • inventories (e.g. of the physical space, accessibility, of current IT infrastructure)
  • Ethnography:
    • use the ethnography toolkit, possibly plan for return/follow-up visit?
  • Contextual inquiry:
    • Would this be most useful to do before, or during, visit to DIA?
  • Survey:
    • Harness existing research about DIA users
    • Conducting research about DIA users: ~msikora - does visitor research. Could bring in friends of the museum, volunteers, other stakeholders.

• Other deliverables: finding
  • Developing a job description for in-house IT staff @ DIA
  • Holding participatory design sessions with DIA staff. These could be facilitated meetings w/ gallery staff, volunteers, and/or visitors that produce:
    • Use cases or scenarios of Engage designs in the DIA context
    • Knowledge sharing about relevant technological information about Engage

• developing use-cases or scenarios of Engage designs in the DIA context

• develop job descriptions for in-house IT staff

• holding design workshops (perhaps inspired by participatory design). Could be a facilitated meeting w/ museum professionals & or visitors. ~msikora - does visitor research. Could bring in friends of the museum, volunteers, other stakeholders.
  • Possible outcomes of PD workshop w/ DIA staff: Use cases, wireframes, creation of technology assessment criteria, knowledge sharing about relevant information about Engage technologies
    • Finding ways that DIA staff can be incorporated into the culture / iterative design and development process (& Vice versa)
• possibly testing early Engage prototypes
• • • If they are available, testing, analyzing, and making design improvements on early Engage prototypes

Next steps

• Must clarify the time frame we're working with (logistics)
• Clarify deliverables for DIA visit & prepare for executing them
• more to come...
