Please stay tuned to this blog for further information about both of these papers.
This presentation was given at the ECREA subdivision conference, Transforming Audiences 2, held in London September 2-4. The discussion focuses on the applicability of Dervin’s Sense-Making Methodology to the study of media reception.
This presentation was given to the collected scholars and professionals who attended MetaverseU 2.0 at Stanford University, Palo Alto, California, May 29-30, 2009. In this presentation, Sisse Siggaard Jensen, Ates Gursimsek and CarrieLynn D. Reinhard discussed their studies and the nature of the Virtual Worlds Research Project.
These posters were created for two conferences in September, 2009, to provide general information about the study on the reception of entertainment in engagings with virtual worlds. Along with general information, preliminary quantitative analysis is provided on how interpretation of the engaging related to experience levels.
This first poster, structured as a PowerPoint, provides the most detailed information. It was prepared for the ECREA subdivision conference, Transforming Audiences 2, held in London September 2-4. Poster for Transforming Audiences 2
