Models for Tech/Ped collaboration in tools design

• Reuma De-Groot
• The Hebrew university, Jerusalem
• Matthias Krauß
• Fraunhofer instit. Ais, Germany
• ICLS2008
• June 23-28, 2008

4
What is the challenge?
Putting different perspectives and languages on
board.

Matthias slides

6
The role of the design workshop in Argunaut
7
The Argunaut approach

• Involving pedagogical researchers that clarify
  the (learning) practices beforehand..
  (moderation, argumentation..)
• Designing a quasi-experimental setting where
  these practices can be activated with the new
  tools
• Evaluation
• Providing new requirements

teachers in the design of the Argunaut system

9
Possible Results procedures

• Usability issues
• Priority lists
• Decision making on what should be elaborated and
  what should be excluded
• Suggestions on how to proceed with certain
  features
• More??

10
Possible Question

• To what extent we develop new tool and (possible)
  new pedagogical practices in school setting, and
  how the answer to this question can be combined,
  in the context of a design workshop?

11
Ideas for products and (learning) practices

• Practices Tools

12
Now to the hands-on part
13
Involving end users in the design process key
elements

• Using concrete, real life scenarios - feature
  requests and guidelines in actual work situations
  (Prinz, Mark, Pankoke-Babatz, 1998).
• Creating a new, common language Participatory
  design calls for synthesis of "diverse knowledges
  into ideas for products and work practices"
  (Muller 2002 p. 2).
