Criticism and Function in Critical Design Practice [PDF]

Design Issues, 2015
This article focuses on critical design as a field of industrial design practice. It considers some barriers and misconceptions to critical design practice being seen as part of a disciplinary project. The first part of the article reviews the criticism of critical design to identify inadequacies in how the criticism is grounded.

Fictional Game Elements: Critical Perspectives on Gamification Design [PDF]

, 2016
Gamification has been widely accepted in the HCI community in the last few years. However, the current debate is focused on its short-term consequences, such as effectiveness and usefulness, while its side-effects, long-term criticalities and systemic ...

Performance and critical design

Proceedings of the 2015 British HCI Conference, 2015
Critical design is a powerful methodology for HCI research that contributes to personal benefit and social renewal. We propose performance studies as a way of implementing and extending critical design.

Designing for interaction [PDF]

, 2004
At present, the design of computer-supported group-based learning (CS)GBL) is often based on subjective decisions regarding tasks, pedagogy and technology, or concepts such as ‘cooperative learning’ and ‘collaborative learning’.

Design as a Critical Research

Libro de Actas - Systems & Design: Beyond Processes and Thinking (IFDP - SD2016), 2016
Historically the imaginary and the hegemonic thinking, in the Western North globe has been marked by the epistemology and capitalists archetypes. Notwithstanding the design as a practice and discipline seem shielded on a simplistic discourse of functional / communicative efficiency, wandering through multiple aestheticism apparently neutral in relation

Design approaches in technology enhanced learning [PDF]

, 2006
Design is a critical to the successful development of any interactive learning environment (ILE). Moreover, in technology enhanced learning (TEL), the design process requires input from many diverse areas of expertise.

Critical by Design?

, 2022
