Key areas of research
• Building on VidGrid pilot project• Identifying needs of qualitative social
science user communities• Understanding social scientific practice• Synchronous and Asynchronous
support for mixed media qualitative analysis
• Capacity building across the social sciences, training, software roll-out programme

Studies of social science practice
• Scope of existing systems
• Interviews with expert practitioners
• Observational studies of existing practices
• Studies of MiMeG system in use

Off-Screen Annotations
• (full paper at CHI 2007)• Enable remote understanding of pace
and position of off-screen movement– Especially off-screen to on-screen transitions
• Requires two components:– Real-time tracking of local off-screen
position– Visualising at remote site(s) appropriately

Studies of MiMeG system in use
• (full paper at ECSCW 2007)• Some groups have agreed to be studied
in using the software in greater depth• describes the mechanisms researchers
use to manage distributed analysis– Local/remote activities– Gestures and imitation
• Significant evidence that managing local work is useful for distributed collaboration
![Page 11: MiMeG – The MixedMediaGrid NCeSS node University of Bristol & Kings College London](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551775e75503460e6e8b510a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Next Steps
• Do we aim to preserve/amplify existing practice? (which we have ethnographic evidence works for users) or do we aim to alter practice (based on experimental studies that say collaborative responses are easier to predict)
• What do we really want our software to do here – to support or to alter existing practice?
• Can we generate new domains of practice in real-time distributed research – is this a better commercial space than traditional workplaces?

Next Steps• Studies of distributed research practice in
CSCW are few and lack detail• Buxton’s (1992) Telepresence challenge
remains– integrating task-focused activities with object-
focused activities is still tough
• Real time groupware needs to move into the real world more, and perhaps researchers offer an improved testbed than traditional workplaces for real-time distributed tools
