| Participatory Design | “is an approach to the assessment, design, and development of technological and organizational systems that places a premium on the active involvement of workplace practitioners (usually potential or current users of the system) in design and decision-making processes” (CPSR association). “Active involvement” should be understood here as participation according to the definition above. “The traditional practice of participatory design is a collaborative approach to design”. “Historically, democratic values have only been partially considered in the systems design process [while] the main focus has been on technical and economic factors”. |
