CRISIS Project
Go-Lab Project Goals
Engage students in science Via inquiry-based learning [Rocard, 2007]
Objectives Create pedagogically structured learning spaces
(WP1) Determine inquiry classroom scenarios (WP1) Identify end-user personalization features and
inquiry learning apps (WP4) Create opportunities for social interactions (WP6) Evaluation of Go-Lab infrastructure (WP8)
Stakeholders Already known
Teachers at primary and secondary schools School children Researchers at science laboratories
Opened to innovators
Strategy Phase 0
Possibilities of current online labs P2 Requirements Analysis
Requirements for Go-Lab portal development Distributed requirements engineering approach,
supported by social media Requirements integration
P3 Iterative Design and Evaluation Make sure requirements were addressed Test prototype with students and teachers Focus on usability, user experience

Requirements Phase I Objectives
Create pedagogically structured learning spaces (WP1) Determine inquiry classroom scenarios (WP1)
Task 3.1 Collect data on user preferences and educative practices in context
systematic analysis of educative practices in authentic educational settings Initial definition of the pedagogical specifications (WP1)
Methodology Literature review (e.g. Rydberg, 2004) to prepare checklists for: structured observations of teachers and children Selection of interview topics for: open observations [Howell,1972] followed by semi-structured interviews Preparation of large-scale surveys for: gathering quantitative data to infer general profiles of the educative
practices
Requirements Phase II Task 3.2
integrating the multi-source requirements, identifying overlaps and addressing trade-offs
Methodology Collect the requirements from:
Content (WP2), pedagogical (WP1) and technology perspectives (WP5)
Organize workshops (focus groups) Integrate requirements, identify overlaps and address trade-offs Early prototypes evaluation
Develop web application for requirements sharing (?) filtering and prioritizing the requirements by distributed stakeholders
WP3
WP1
WP2
WP5
Requirements Phase III Task 3.3
needs analysis and generation of creative options Methodology
Organize workshops (focus groups) For stakeholders and potential innovators On needs analysis
Discussions of what is done, future projection and context for the portal On creative options
Field trials discussion Consideration of organizational, institutional and economic conditions
Open online discussion forum (?) Facilitate progressive discussion of stakeholders and innovators
Evaluation Goals
Identify usability and user experience problems Use context-sensitive evaluation methods
Methodology Literature review of context-sensitive methods Usability evaluation (effective, efficient and pleasant) User experience evaluation
Expert-based methods (lab) [Nielsen, 1993] End-user evaluation (field, remote) [Ericcson, 1993] Questionnaires (SUS, SUMI, etc.) Cultural probes [Gaver et al.1999] Experience sampling [Larson, Csikszentmihalyi, 1983] Emerging methods

Interplay and Timeline Between development and
requirements/evaluation Aforementioned workshops and
regular project and work package meetings work package deliverables and progress reports
preparation
Year 1
•D3.1•Preliminary Go-Lab requirements specifications, needs analysis, and
creative options
Year 2
•D3.2•Formative usability report on the early prototype of the Go-Lab portal
Year 3
•D3.3•Formative usability and user experience evaluation report on the initial
Go-Lab Portal
Questions Your questions…? Project scale?
"common but localized Go-Lab experimentation interface“ Three online labs resulting in portal to use them? General methodology how to create a portal to access
any lab? Standardization
How many work packages involve LE? What does Go-Lab stand for?
