A participatory poster of participatory methods
CHI EA '01: CHI '01 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIt has been four years since the last systematic survey of participatory methods for participatory analysis, design, and evaluation. This poster will present the 61 methods (and seven lifecycle models) that were collected from the previous survey, and ...
Layered participatory analysis: new developments in the CARD technique
CHI '01: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsCARD (Collaborative Analysis of Requirements and Design) is an influential technique for participatory design and participatory analysis that is in use on three continents. This paper reviews three case studies that document the development of a ...
Designing user interfaces from analyses of users' tasks
CHI EA '97: CHI '97 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThis tutorial provides a detailed introduction to task analysis and task-based design. The focus of task analysis is the description of work tasks, while the focus of task-based design is designing interactive systems from the perspective of users' ...
