Paper Abstract:
|
This paper presents a novel crowdsourcing platform called CreativeWall, where users can preserve their creative writings and share them with the community, thus creating an interactive way for users to develop their abilities in writing. CreativeWall has also a Microsoft Word Add-In that helps writers to trigger their creativity while writing. We show that for a creative task such as writing, our creativity support tool can enhance the creativity and mental well-being of its users. To support this argument we highlight some results triangulating qualitative and quantitative data. Results show that users performing the tasks with CreativeWall lost track of time more often than participants using our baseline. From interviews it was clear that the tasks performed with the CreativeWall add-in were more enjoyable and that users had no problems starting to write, which could mean that these tools can help in the initial phase of the creative writing process. |
