Hi - I am Barb Hernandez, the User Experience Manager at TechSmith. I manage a team of designers and researcher who work with the product teams here at TechSmith.

Recently I had the opportunity to spend an evening with a group of graduate students at University of Michigan's School of Information (SI). These students are studying, among other things, Human Computer Interaction. Each month they get together for a Design Jam where they work on a design problem for a local company or organization. At our jam session, students looked at the concepts we have for sharing content on Screencast.com: Media Roll, Playlists and Folders, but focused on the idea of the "Playlist" as a mechanism for sharing content when that content is organized in more than one folder on Screencast.com. They also tackled the differences between sharing and viewing shared content.

During the session the group reviewed the design problem in detail then broke into smaller groups to brainstorm and mock up potential solutions. Each team had great ideas to improve the workflow, simplify the concepts and generally make it easier to create, share and view content.

Some pictures of the design ideas from each of the 5 groups can be found here: http://www.screencast.com/t/NspigGSSXC.

Please feel free to add your thoughts or feedback on these ideas or even add your own solution. More details about each solution is in the comments section for each group's design ideas.
