    From 'Social' Media To Collaborative Media: Cooperative Inquiry For Shoulder-To-Shoulder Youth Video Authorship Technologies
    (2020-04) McRoberts, Sarah
    Social sharing of photos and videos are one of the most significant uses of the Internet. Open online platforms, like YouTube, are a particularly popular medium for youth who are drawn to the low barrier for entry to reach a potentially global audience. Yet, much of the work that has been carried out focuses on identifying and filtering potentially inappropriate content and otherwise supporting children as consumers of media. This work seeks to understand and support youth as video creators. In this thesis, I will describe my foundational work investigating youth video creation on commercial platforms, present a novel exploration of design opportunities with a team of intergenerational youth and detail one specific design insight that blossomed from this exploration, the opportunity for collaboration in video creation.

    Music's Role in Youth's Collaborative Video Creation
    (2018) Thompson, Stryker; McRoberts, Sarah; Yarosh, Lana
    This study examines how music affects the process of video creation for youth. Middle school students were observed making videos with various media. They regard music primarily as something which structures their content, but it can also be the final product in itself, or a basic asset to fill a void in their project. The structuring effects of music often contradict the chaotic creation process youth employ, which system designers must account for when developing technology for them.
