Course 26: Interaction Design for Social Development - Course
Contribution & Benefit: The Interaction Design for Social Development is a course for those conducting, or wishing to conduct, interaction design research in the developing world.
Abstract » This course is aimed at researchers or practitioners who wish to design solutions appropriate to the developing world. To meet this goal we present techniques and methods allowing attendants to design for people from different contexts, cultures and literacies. We also present case studies reporting successes and failures, along with reflections, insights and lessons to be learned. Finally, we discuss open design and ethical questions of doing this type of work in developing contexts.
