Methods

Because of its interdisciplinary character and twofold agenda of both research and research support,  InterMedia Lab project work are led by multiple methods. Notions of agile software development from informatics may be triangulated with text analysis from humanities, and user studies from social science.

Overarching these methodological traditions lies a more general interest in production based method where theoretical knowledge and explorative design drive technical knowledge and development and technical knowledge drive theoretical knowledge and explorative design.

Performing collaborative and interdiciplinary production based research is challanging, and needs an articulated project management design, adaptable to each project. This is a work in progress at InterMedia Lab. Part of this process is to include project management tools (Time Log, Jira) and content management systems (Plone, Confluence)in this design.
