Abstract

Diary studies are often applied in HCI research to collect qualitative user impressions. Unfortunately, the period between creation of a diary entry and the later reflection can be too long, which leads to a limited currentness and contextuality. This eventually results in incomplete or misinterpreted data. In this paper we present Storyteller, a mobile application that allows a quick creation of diary entries and encourages users to reflect on these in-situ through a storytelling approach. We argue that this can lead to more accurate and substantial qualitative insights.
