Target Audiences/Customersfor Ensemble notes by Lois Delcambre
Target audience: owners of curated collections What they want from Ensemble (?): • more satisfied users of their content • more content of reasonable quality • (perhaps) users whose need are better met (than they are currently), e.g., by resources that complement their collection discovered through a broader search • (perhaps) metrics that track when ensemble users visit their site, download or use their content Note: if they end up with more users (who only pass through ensemble once, to first find the collection) they might be very happy – and we should be too.
Target audience:Users of existing collections What they want from ensemble (?): • (perhaps) nothing • (perhaps) the ability to comment, rate, tag resources in the collection • (perhaps) the ability to issue broader searches beyond the collection • (perhaps) the ability to have their interaction tracked – in order to have rewards • (perhaps) cool tools (e.g., VKB or Walden’s paths) • (perhaps) social navigation
Target audience:Contributors to collections What they want from Ensemble? • (perhaps) recognition for their contribution (through tracking/logging, badges, awards) • (perhaps) broad use of their contribution • (perhaps) discussion related to their contribution • (perhaps) easy access to other collections?
Target Audience: Community members (who comment/rate/tag/discuss) What they want from Ensemble (?): • An active community of (interesting) peers that comment and discuss topics of interest • Easy to use tools/mechanisms to comment, discuss, rate, tag • (perhaps) metrics, badges, etc. that describe their contributions and activities • (perhaps) the ability to search for other comments • (perhaps) easy or seamless commenting, rating, tagging in the collection as well as in the broader context of ensemble
