Abstract
Based on the ongoing development of a portal intended for use during the upcoming Olympics event in 2008, the portal’s main purpose is to allow volunteers, spectators, or any other participants of the Beijing Olympics to upload self-directed video clips and relevant advertisement clips associated with the event to the portal. Previous work has found dissimilar experiences in interacting with the portal – thus the need to use collaborative scenario building as part of the design process of the portal. The paper introduces the main purposes of the portal, and demonstrates how the intended outcomes of the portal and dialogues generated lead to the need for participatory design. The sessions building collaborative scenarios are also discussed, demonstrating how they can be used to guide stakeholder participation. Lessons learnt from the design exercise are discussed as a concluding note to the paper.
