Tailored scenarios: a low-cost online method to elicit perceptions on designs using real relationships (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Coughlan, T., Brown, M., Lawson, G., Mortier, R., Houghton, R., & Goulden, M. (2013). Tailored scenarios: a low-cost online method to elicit perceptions on designs using real relationships.

This paper describes the on-going development of a method to elicit perceptions of design ideas for social technologies, through automatically tailoring scenarios presented in online surveys using information gathered from respondents. The work has b... Read More about Tailored scenarios: a low-cost online method to elicit perceptions on designs using real relationships.

Intergenerational interpretation of the Internet of Things
Book
Brown, M., Coughlan, T., Lawson, G., Mortier, R., Houghton, R., & Goulden, M. Intergenerational interpretation of the Internet of Things. Horizon Digital Economy Reseearch Institute. Manuscript submitted for publication

This report investigates how different generations within a household interpret individual members’ data generated by the Internet of Things (IoT). Adopting a mixed methods approach, we are interested in interpretations of the IoT by teenagers, thei... Read More about Intergenerational interpretation of the Internet of Things.
