Abstract:
To provide an unconventional means of information sharing within large organizations such as universities and companies, we set up a whiteboard information-sharing space within our university and observed and analyzed users’ writing and reading behavior. As a result, we designed and implemented an electronic bulletin board that clearly segregates topics, provides space for replies, changes the posting display period according to the status of replies, and has a mechanism to make less important information as inconspicuous as possible. From an experiment with our electronic bulletin board, we confirmed that users were able to use the board to continuously post and reply to messages. Our notable achievement is that we have implemented the advantages of the analog world, which were revealed through the observation of reading and posting behavior on the whiteboard, into a system that is the digital world.
