What is the best way to do analysis for participatory design workshops?

Hi,
I am doing a research about educational technology and the use of technology in classrooms to develop an educational system to create and deliver educational content.
I am planing some participatory design sessions with primary school teachers, activity managers and psychologists. The reason to do this is to achieve a design of a system that helps teachers provide the same daily activities and lessons with the use of technology and multimedia by involving more pictures, videos, animations and sounds.
In the participatory design sessions we will discuss how to create technology-mediated educational contents from the normal educational contents and classroom activity that teacher perform with the pupils on a daily basis.
What do you think is the best way to analyse the data from participatory design workshops knowing that it will be video recorded?
Thank you

For designing the new system, it is rhe most important to find out the needs of the elementary educational domain on yourself. So, before analyzing rhe needs &  designing the system, you should participate in the educational field, and feel the problems and necesssity on that domain.

Dear George,
This is a very innovative design. I would imagine that you also plan to conduct interviews or focus group discussion with the teachers and learners on exploring their experiences of the design or teaching-learning innovation. The discussions that take place during participatory workshops the could also be transcribed. These data sources (video recordings, transcribed interviews and focus group discussions and audio recordings can be fed into the Atlas.ti software for the management of qualitative data. It has features that allow you to analyse thematically data from images, video and audio recordings and of course transcripts within the same workspace (HU).

Dear George
in my opinion, the data to be analyzed must be in accordance with the practical reality and pedagogical teacher because you be developing an educational system to contribute to the teaching practice of teacher

I would recommend searching Participatory Design Conference (PDC) proceedings for similar cases and see how the data was analysed. The PDC proceedings are published through ACM, and you can find some links here: http://pdcproceedings.org/

Dear users,
I'm now struggling for almost three months to make a pSTAT3-ELISA (https://www.rndsystems.com/products/human-mouse-phospho-stat3-y705-duoset-ic-elisa_dyc4607b-2) work but was unable to succeed. I completely followed their protocol without the smallest deviation but got no result. I then tried different Lysis Buffers (RIPA with SDS, RIPA with Triton-X-100, Lysis Buffer #6 of RnD) but nothing changed. I doubled the antibody amount with no effect and tried different ug amounts of the samples (1-2,5-5-10-25-50-100ug) but nothing changed. It's always the same result since the beginning: The standard curves are perfect but no signal from the samples. When I use other techniques with the same samples (Western Blot, Dot Blot) I get very good results for pSTAT3. I even performed a Western Blot with the Standards which indicated that my samples should be in the standard range. What can I do to make this ELISA work? Thank you very much for your answers.
