How to motivate people online to interact

I did research for a populair blog that totally exists out of user generated content. I searched for possibilities to motivate the current members to interact more with the social network. My research can be put to use to other cases as well in social media since I tackled the problem in the broadest sense.

Brigle from a different perspective

This project was about whether it was possible to replace the existing portal of Hogeschool Rotterdam by the Brigle famework. After research in the initial phase we concluded that Brigle has the most potential on mobile platforms. We developed an optimized iPhone webapp (prototype) which makes clear how the webapp should work.
My role as a projectleader was to control the group who developed the app, but I was also very involved with the parallel groups doing more indepth research and prototyping. I strived to share as much information as possible with the other groups so we didn't make the same mistakes and learn more to get the best endresult. Therefore we have delivered a working prototype with research and user surveys within 8 weeks.
