Description
Summary:Participatory Design in Action TheUserExperience Participatory Design (PD) is a method for engaging deeply with users in order to build inclusive, future-oriented, user-centered services. Following in the tradition of the Florence project--an important early example of PD at the University of Oslo in the 1980s (ow.ly/gtSG30eqm4K)--UXUP called for all participants mutually to recognize expertise, share knowledge and power, and learn and create together. The UXUP project has also helped me to advance my understanding of our campus's Native American student community, allowing our library to serve this user population better in the future.
