Objective
The project will examine the social shaping processes, and in particular social learning, in the development and uptake of new multimedia products and services. (Social learning covers the related learning processes of the suppliers' representations of the users and the users' efforts to incorporate the products into their particular context). It aims at a better conceptual and empirical understanding of these processes, as well as policy implications. It will examine these processes in four applications or sectors: education, cultural products/industries, commerce/shopping, and public services. Integrating cross-cutting studies covering the organization and the home will also be undertaken. National and international aspects will also be considered. Social experiments and commercial trials will be studied in the countries covered.
Policy implications to be addressed are (i) the innovation process and social learning in multimedia, (ii) policy in the individual research themes (e.g. education, cultural industries, needs of small countries and language groups), (iii) the implications of social shaping research in general.
Interim reports will be produced at Month 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 followed by the final report at Month 36
