Paying Attention to Values and Culture: An Artifact to Support the Evaluation of Interactive Systems

Abstract

Abstract

A value-oriented and culturally informed approach to the design of interactive systems

“…All the artifacts presented in this section have been experienced and evaluated in different design contexts, e.g., social applications for Interactive Digital Television (Pereira et al, 2013b); applications for supporting cross-cultural collaboration (Pereira and Baranauskas, 2012); and inclusive social network (Pereira et al, 2011(Pereira et al, , 2013a. Templates for all the artifacts are available for download 3 and a web-based case tool is being designed to support their usage.…”

An Essay on Human Values in HCI

“…▪ eValue [47]: helps designers when evaluating an interactive system or its prototype whether design decisions are reflecting the understanding about the values and the culture of the different stakeholders.…”

“…These norms can be useful in the step 6 as well, serving as a guide and even criteria when evaluating the designed solution. Existing artifacts and methods, such as the eValue [47] and the Communicability Evaluation Method [49], can take advantage of the specified norms to support designers to ensure the designed solution communicate an adequate understanding about the design problem, its stakeholders, their values and cultural aspects.…”

Understanding Pragmatic Aspects with Social Values in Web-Mediated Collaborative Systems

“…As such, social values and pragmatics seem to be interdependent: the way how people express intentions and negotiate meanings depend on individual and group values and vice-versa. Although the literature has explicitly focused on values in technology design [4,5,9] as well as on Pragmatics in IxD [3,10], the relation between values and pragmatics and their impact on the design of web-mediated social systems require further research.…”
