Ethnography In Designing Socio-Technical Environments
(download slides)
Abstract
Our formal training as technologists and designers
often leaves gaps in how to do research in the socio side of socio-technical
environments. Melissa Dawe, Stefan Carmien and Anja Kintsch will present our
experiences in using ethnography as a tool to understand the context and the
stakeholders in our work designing systems for persons with cognitive disabilities
and support communities. We hope to spark a discussion with the larger L3D community
that have used or are interested in using this approach.
