After expanding or creating existing articles on the English Wikipedia using the respository of currently admissible sources we will travel to the rural settlement of Otjinene, interview knowledge bearers, and use the results to further expand these articles. We will thus be able to present two scenarios for a set of Wikipedia articles: One restricted to ordinary, written sources, and one that utilises narratives emanating from Indigenous Knowledge. We expect to be able to dismiss the suspicion by Wikipedia's editor community that the online encyclopedia has nothing to gain from the inclusion of indigenous knowledge.","PeriodicalId":314843,"journal":{"name":"Participatory Design Conference","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128847572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main idea of a service prototype is to concretize ideas and communicate quickly and inexpensively a service proposition for different stakeholders. At its best a service prototype is at the same time a tool for learning, communication and change management.\u0000 This workshop allows participants to engage themselves in service prototyping, making use of the SINCO service prototyping approach. Participants can learn by doing how service prototyping takes form and suits to solving local challenges which are by nature networked and touch many different stakeholders. The main goal of the workshop is to ideate and concretize diverse possible service solutions to the unemployment challenge in a team.","PeriodicalId":314843,"journal":{"name":"Participatory Design Conference","volume":"96 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115984854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In reflecting connectedness between use and design in a distributed open source software design practice, a particular focus is devoted to the implementation mediator's interaction between local users, global software developers, and local designers who are geographically distributed, possess different technological skills, and different work experiences. The implementation mediators' insights are useful in the design of large information systems that involve distributed actors. A maternal and child health setting in Tanzania was the case in this study. An ethnographic study involving interactions with global developers and participative activities in local health practices were conducted. In addition, mediators connected local and global designers to configure a computer system for a particular context; configured participation, involving health workers in designing practices. We present the role of the implementation mediators and its related participatory activities by using the notion of design-after-design. We also highlight the challenges which could face implementation mediators in distributed participatory design activities.","PeriodicalId":314843,"journal":{"name":"Participatory Design Conference","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116920462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It discusses the use of mock-ups as a form of visual presentation to legitimate new ideas. Three types of mock-ups were prepared to illustrate new ideas for inner-city bus shelters. Each type created different interactions and verbal discourse, leading to a clearer articulation of stakeholder constraints, both from their organisation and other organisations that they represented. Based on discussions with the academic research team who led the project, we formulate strategies for how mock-ups can be used in similar projects to improve the strategic design capability of designers. Our findings in alignment with previous literature, suggest that design artefacts, such as mock-ups, can help designers to be more aware of the context of design, rather than just to inform improvement in a prototype.","PeriodicalId":314843,"journal":{"name":"Participatory Design Conference","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114867872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the early days of PD there was an assumed connection between academic researchers and workplace participants in defining project objectives and developing strategies to achieve them. As opportunities to embed PD in organizations became more limited due to a weakening of worker rights legislation and the adoption of PD approaches outside Scandinavia it became important for PD to find new ways to establish and maintain connections to industry in order to foster participatory practices beyond the academy. In this talk I will reflect on PD's connections to commercial, not-for-profit, and governmental organizations and will point to opportunities and challenges to strengthen those ties going forward.","PeriodicalId":314843,"journal":{"name":"Participatory Design Conference","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121837957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The PDC installation, (\"Chalklines\") is an adapted version that consists of moveable modular units which can be rearranged by participants within a demarcated space. The units are fitted with chalk bases, which make marks on the space below and thus trace the actions and choices of participants. The units can be used as seating, to form plinths or even as part of a performance. It is hoped that this installation will create a space that collapses the conventional boundaries between audience and actor, viewer and artwork.

As the boundaries between physical, digital and hybrid spaces and experiences become increasingly blurred, so do conventional distinctions between research and design. This half-day workshop invites participants to discuss and explore opportunities of using design anthropology as a holistic and critical approach to societal challenges, and a way for anthropologists and designers to engage in design that extends beyond the empirical.","PeriodicalId":314843,"journal":{"name":"Participatory Design Conference","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126331667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
