Abstract
I denne afhandling undersøger vi, hvordan man kan gøre det lettere for folk at gemme og genfinde YouTube-videoer. Dette er en del af personlig informationshåndtering (PIM), som handler om at organisere eget digitalt indhold. Vi gennemgik tidligere forskning og gennemførte derefter en kontekstuel undersøgelse (observationer og interviews med personer, der bruger YouTube i deres hverdag) for at validere og uddybe indsigterne. Med en tematisk analyse af materialet fandt vi tydelige mønstre i, hvorfor forskellige brugergrupper gemmer videoer, og hvordan de senere søger dem frem igen. Med en interaktiv design thinking-tilgang designede og afprøvede vi ekstra funktioner, der skal støtte gemning og genfinding. Deltagerne satte overordnet pris på de foreslåede funktioner. De udtrykte dog bekymring for udformningen af filterfunktionen, mens notifikationsfunktionen blev taget særligt positivt imod. Vores prototype og brugertests viser, at brugervenlige løsninger kan forbedre oplevelsen af at gemme og genfinde videoer på YouTube.
This thesis explores how to make it easier for people to save and re-find YouTube videos, a common task in Personal Information Management (PIM), which is about organizing personal digital content. We reviewed prior research and then ran a contextual inquiry (observing and interviewing people using YouTube in their everyday settings) to validate and deepen those insights. Using thematic analysis to identify recurring themes in the data, we found clear patterns in why different user groups save videos and how they look for them later. Guided by an interactive, design thinking approach, we designed and tested additional features to support saving and re-finding. Participants generally appreciated the proposed functions. They expressed concerns about the design of the filtering tool, while the notification feature was especially well received. Our prototype and user tests indicate that providing these functions in a clear, user-friendly way can improve the YouTube experience for saving and re-finding videos.
