10 hours watching people read Wikipedia

A preliminary report on two pieces of research, both using novel methods for research into Wikipedia. The first used qualiative methods, giving 30 subjects a cancer topic to research, watching and recording them do so, and then interviewing them as the screen video of the search was replayed.

Thank you for your proposal.
