“…Designing for "different" users raises new questions about the use of participatory design methods. Some of these questions have been raised by researchers working with adults-for example, in work by Okomoto, Komatsu, Gyobu, and Ito (2007), who proposed new methods for looking at lifestyles and cultural backgrounds when doing participatory design with adults. A defence of moving participatory design a nudge away from design for self is given by Irani, Vertesi, Dourish, Philip, and Grinter (2010), who discussed how design research and practice is always culturally located.…”

The participation of end-users in the design and evaluation of technologies has long been an important principle in human-computer interaction. This article reports a study to ascertain to what extent children using participatory methods could effectively design for a surrogate population. Fifty children, from a UK primary school, participated in a design activity to specify a serious game for children in Uganda. The children's designs were analyzed and were shown to have effectively incorporated learning and gaming aspects. Based on these designs a serious game was developed. This new serious game and the commercial game Angry Birds were both evaluated for fun with 25 children in Uganda, using the Fun Toolkit and the This or That method. The results suggested that the children found both games fun, thus confirming that the children in the United Kingdom could effectively design a fun game for a surrogate population. Despite the positive results, the reliability of the evaluation methods is questioned. Inconsistencies were noted within the individual evaluation tools and the comparative results for some constructs yielded a low reliability score. We conclude that further research is required to establish suitable evaluation methods for evaluating fun with children in developing countries.Gavin Sim (grsim@uclan.ac.uk) is a computer scientist with an interest in human-computer interaction, usability, user experience, and child-computer interaction; he is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Computing Engineering and Physical Sciences of the University of Central Lancashire.

“…Accessibility projects using participatory design approaches include the use of cross-cultural scenarios for requirement elicitation (Okamoto et al, 2007), ATM design for illiterate persons (Cremers et al, 2008), agile methods to facilitate universal access (Memmel et al, 2007), "best guess design" for web-based accessible entertainment (Tollefsen and Flyen, 2006), and the design of a sound and image enhanced daily planner (Moffatt et al, 2004). We will return to participatory design and design for all in Section 4.1.…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to bring together the fields of participatory design, design for all, accessible music, tangible interaction and musicking to propose musicking for all, where participants can take part on their own terms, with their own intentions, initiatives and interpretations. The goal is to promote well-being and health among the participants. Design/methodology/approach -Co-creative tangibles to enable musicking for all have been created and evaluated in a research project. The paper uses the experiences so far in this project to propose "musicking for all", based on the fields mentioned in "Purpose" above. Findings -Participatory design, design for all and tangible interaction forms a promising basis for musicking for all. Challenges/paradoxes emerge when applying participatory design approaches to design work involving disabled children.Originality/value -The paper contributes with an original view on musicking for disabled children, and proposes musicking for all based on the fields of research mentioned in "Purpose" above. The value in the contribution is a fresh view on co-creative tangibles for disabled children, and a suggested way forward to improve health and well-being for this user group.

“…1) Language independence: Briggs argues that use of the communicative event model ( Figure 1) in his analytic technique may serve as a language-independent 'heuristic device' [5, p.40] for conducting interview data analysis, particularly relevant when the first language of respondents is not the same as the interviewers'. 2) Cultural independence: Culture is often reported as a difficult obstacle to navigate in studying cross-cultural user populations [20,21]. Briggs' framework seeks to reveal the particularities of an interview interaction (individual roles, goals, communicative norms of all individuals involved) that may be otherwise diminished in favor of portraying a broad group in a reductive way (according to cultural or national norms, for example).…”

This paper presents a case study of our recent empirical research on memorialisation in post-genocide Rwanda. It focuses on the pragmatic methodological challenges of working in a 'transnational' and specifically Rwandan context. We first outline our qualitative empirical engagement with representatives from the Kigali Genocide Memorial (KGM) and neighbouring institutions. We then describe our application of Charles L. Briggs' analytic communication framework to our data. In appropriating this framework, we reflect critically on its efficacy in use, for addressing the practical working constraints of our case, and through our findings develop methodological insights with relevance to wider HCI audiences.
