Initially, I found the Palladio app difficult to navigate and challenging to understand. However, the video tutorial on how to use the tool was extremely helpful. The networks felt overwhelming at first, but after experimenting with various filters, I was able to make sense of the data and identify patterns.
I was assigned to group 3, which included six other peers, making it the largest group. After reviewing the posts of my peers in this group. I would assume that we were grouped together because most of us included diverse geographical and cultural representation in our selection criteria.
Another pattern I was able to identify was that even when looking at the entire class selection.The most popular tracks, when compiled, create a geographically diverse curation. As shown in the image below, the 10 most popular tracks feature musical representation from Germany (2 songs), Java, Peru (2 songs), Mexico, Australia, New Guinea, India, and China.
