A simple persona (should this be a stereotype?) / slide 26
Name: Spock
A role or job title: Has been studying information technology in Metropolia for two years.
Quotes in the personas language: (if I'd know what this really means)

Descriptions that reveals goals, motivations, pain points:
Sharing information can be done different ways and if teachers doesn't have a common tool for that, there might be many different kind of ways they keep students informed and share course material an assignments. This can be a problem for student: without a common tool information you need is stored in different places and you need to remember where (bookmarks).
Communication in a big organization or community is challenging. To make information and activities transparent you need to be able to inform everyone about everything. But not everyone want's to know about everything. Therefore Tuubi can help, because user can choose those notifications, messages and workspaces he/she is interested in.
