Running medialab, then another program, then back to medialab (case 4980)

[ccm82]

Hi there,

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me whether it is possible to somehow minimize medialab for a brief timeperiod, use another program, and then continue medialab. I'm going to have participants complete questionnaires with medlab, then engage in an interaction with another participant via a messaging program, then more questions with medialab.

Because medialab runs on the whole screen, it doesn't seem possible to minimize without losing the data. It seems like the only possibility right now is to have them run through medialab for the first set of questions, then finish, open up the other program and do their task, then close the internet and have the experimenter set them up with a new medialab set of questions. This leaves a lot of room for error and requires too much experimenter intervention, so if there is some way around this anyone knows of that would be great.

I use v2008.
