Online communities and event experience

As a graduate student working at the CrossmediaLab the focus of my research project lies on the influence a community might have on the experience of an event. We are trying to find out if participation on a community website, regarding an upcoming event, makes the experience of the actual event and the memories of it in any way different. This would be in comparison to the experience of visitors who did not participate in the online community. The actual research question is formulated as such: “Does participation in a online community contribute to the experience of an offline event.” This research is part of the Crossmedia Atelier project.
