CoPDA 2013:
International Workshop on Cultures of Participation in the Digital Age
Empowering End Users to Improve their Quality of Life
http://homes.di.unimi.it/cslab/copda/
In conjunction with IS-EUD 2013 (http://iseud.net)
June 11, 2013 - IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark
--------
Overview
--------
Digital Age is defined by the use of technology to support the way
people communicate and interact in their everyday and working lives.
Digital age therefore offers new and exciting opportunities to people,
but it also presents new challenges to researchers and designers. Issues
such as utility, efficiency, productivity, trust and other human values
should be considered in a holistic sense oriented to enhance the
'quality of life' of people.
The goal of this workshop is to promote the study of the new realities
provided by the emerging of digital age. The following questions will be
explored (but no limited to):
Conceptual
- How and how much cultures of participation affect, positively or
negatively, end users’ quality of life?
- What are the strengths and weaknesses of cultures of participation
for fostering collaborative problem-solving activities?
- What does it mean to do EUD in large communities and mass
collaboration? (e.g. can we accept user generated content, UGC, as a
form of EUD or is it simply use in CP terminology)
- What about creating a building or interactive event in Second Life,
would that be an instance of meta-design or EUD?
Methodological
- What are the methods to employ to study the activities of cultures of
participation?
- How to support different levels of participation (e.g. interested
outsiders, collaborators, partial contributors, full contributors,
meta-designers, etc.)?
- How to assess individual contributions in terms of contributing to a
common goal?
- How to assess the quality of a contribution? Is it possible or of
interest to distinguish ‘good’ and ‘bad’? Moreover, are there really
‘bad’ contributions?
- How to design for massive EUD, e.g. a type of meta design?
- How to provide zones of end-user development (ZEUD) in socio
technical systems, like hooks and open points in the run-time
environments of these systems so that end-user developers can create
personally motivated extensions?
Technological
- How EUD tools can support cultures of participation?
- What types of interactive environments can stimulate participation?
- What kind of technological platforms could support large community
and mass collaboration EUD?
KEYWORDS:
cultures of participation, digital living, end-user development,
socio-technical systems, meta-design
