Card sorting Level 1 cont.
Scenario
You have been invited to join a game of "reGossip" by someone you know.
This person is the "host" of the game you’ve been asked to participate in. The host has chosen people who he or she thinks are great storytellers who will make the game interesting and fun with their gossip.
When you first logon you will have a list of five people to whom you can send gossip. The game may involve many more people, but for now you only know of these five.
Your Objectives;
Since this is a game you may want to achieve the highest score. Another motivation might be to participate in interesting chains of gossip, or find out about as many players as possible.
Once the participant is introduced to
the basic concept of the game without any reference to context or interface
they are asked to arrange the cards on a table. The participant is given minimal
suggestions as to how this should be done. They are only asked to order the
cards according to their own logic or ‘what would makes sense to them’. Then
they are asked to explain the choices they’ve made and ‘walk through’ their
process. At this point the cards represent conceptual elements of the game.
Once this card sorting process has been performed by each individual participant and recorded the card sortings are compared with one another. Observations and data are extracted and a consensus sorting is established by the re:gossip team. This consensus is brought to the participants as a group, discussed, and modified.
