Multi-user interface for group ranking: user-centered analysis

The user-centered approach was adopted to design multi-user interfaces for group ranking. Six groups of 4 mefnbers, four groups of 3 members, and one group of 6 members were videotaped while performing a ranking task. The videotapes were analyzed resulting in recommendations for the design of multi-user humancomputer interfaces for group ranking of items. The usefulness of the findings and the usefulness of the method are discussed.
