Title: “Exploring the co-creation of narrative using social technology“. Our Trip to London (Natural History Museum)

By: Kwamena Appiah-Kubi

By: Amr Ahmed

Abstract: This is the first in a series of studies exploring collaborative creation of narratives by a group of people  engaged in a shared experience such as on a tour in a museum, visiting a theme park etc. The group in this and a number of later studies have an existing relationship between them such as being friends, family, class/course mates etc. Some of the themes being investigated are anonymity, privacy and group dynamics as well as tools that can better support/enhance these shared experiences. Brief on the trip to London, during the Universities Week. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSnSNU7oPJY?rel=0
