“…The research results presented in this paper extend our previous research paper (Schriek et al, 2016). In our previous work, we found that students who used the reminder cards used more reasoning techniques and found more design rationale.…”

“…We test if such an approach would improve reflective thinking during the design discourse without putting an extra cognitive burden on the designers. Consistent with our previous research works (Tang and Lau, 2014;Schriek et al, 2016), the goal is to enable the creation of design methods to facilitate design reasoning and the generation of design rationale during design discourse. We differentiate our approach with the traditional software architecture inspection and evaluation approaches in that our approach focuses on reasoning during design discourse, whereas the traditional architecture evaluation approach evaluates the completed design, typically after most of the design discourse has completed and design ideas may have been well anchored.…”

“…The author also made participants fill a survey and concluded that this activity has shown positive results [23, 29]. Category‐based approach (reminder card‐based approach) [ 1, 2 ]: Software Engineers (while designing software) think naturalistically and not logically/rationally. There is a need to devise a process which helps software engineers to elicit rationally.…”

“…The team members may consist of software engineers or art designers or members from the client team (which may have no prior experience). By involving logical reasoning, the requirements engineers and the other team members can contribute more to the design process [1, 2]. Most of the studies performed in the past focused on making the process of gathering and eliciting requirements easier for business analysts and requirement engineers.…”

Requirements elicitation is one of the essential steps towards software design and construction. Business analysts and stakeholders often face challenges in gathering or conveying key software requirements. There are many methods and tools designed by researchers and practitioners but with the persistent development of new technologies, there is a need to make requirements gathering and design-rationale process more efficient and adaptable. Storytelling is an emerging concept and researchers are witnessing its effectiveness in education, community building, information system, and requirement elicitation. Objectives of this study are to devise a method for requirements elicitation and improving design-rationales using story-based techniques and evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed activity. To answer the research objectives, the authors have conducted open-ended interviews to get feedback on the proposed method; the authors have case requirement from a running project to map how this method can be useful; and performed empirical evaluation of the proposed card-based activity. The estimated regression model, in our study, has shown that participants' perception about the simplicity/easiness and the joy of playing the game has an eventual positive effect on requirements elicitation through enhancing user's desire to play the game, which in turn increases the collaborative learning outcomes of the game.

The goal of this paper is to initiate a conversation on the undergraduate teaching of social software analysis and design in applications which are nonsocial-media specific. This course covers the topics required to strategically "socialify" organizational applications to engage users in the most productive way for the organization. To capture this effort, we suggest the term "socialification" which means the use of social software design features in non-socialmedia applications. We provide some background and course goals and learning objectives as well as a course structure. We then discuss issues to consider when implementing a course in social software elements development. We also cover the theoretical grounding related to the interdisciplinary process and explain how it contributes to the design of the course.
