Focus on User Needs
1.BBC Home
-------------------
The main concept behind this proposal is to redesign the bbc home page to present information according to click-paths generated by users.
Normally All the BBC can be browsed by the main menu or the search box provided.
Every user activity is recorded, anonymous or recognized user. For an "activity" we mean the place of the bbc where most clicks take place for an user.
One example of that could be anonymous user X, that clicks con sports=>football=>championship, news=>bussines=>economy, and radio=>radio1=>dance.
These 3 click-paths defines the interest of this particular user, the system then could calculate how to provide the next home page for that user.
Then collecting several navigation patterns for users (anonymous or logged), the system can acomodate for similarities between navigation patterns suggesting particular things one user may want to see, based on what other user behaiviors.
There will be 2 areas inside the central space of the home page. One top central with content that the BBC wants to annouce.
Then bottom central, 2 Columns presented by the systems, based on the click-path for that particular user.
The search box is present at all times on the top right corner, inviting the user to search content inside the BBC.
The link for loggin in is also provided, to access to bbc services and the BBC Dashboard.
2.BBC DASHBOARD
-------------------
Logged users can take advantage of the bbc dashboard, an area of the system, used for collecting and grouping information of interest inside de BBC.
For example, several content pieces are provided by rss feeds. Instead of using a particular feed reader, the logged user (from now on: the user) can collect the rss feeds available from the bbc into the dashboard.
Bookmark a particular story, or video or radio show, can be done with a bookmark manager, inside the dashboard.
The media player is embedded inside the page handy for watching the media available.
Podcast subscriptions, are also viewed inside a box.
The history of the user navigation or searches made, can be accessed by a history manager.
Several user participation, like forums, message boards, opinions, comments, can be monitored to follow active conversations.
