Workshop description
The goal of the workshop is to advance the practical and theoretical understanding of the real life nature of processes of innovation as part of participatory design of interactive systems. The workshop seeks to explore how to describe, talk about, and understand in which ways and under which circumstances users and designers are innovative and creative actors in design activities. The format of the workshop will be short presentations of contributions from the participants as well as group work sessions. We invite contributions that either 1) address and discuss specific methods which scaffold innovation in participatory design and or 2) address ways of understanding, analyzing and discussing creativity and innovation in the design process.
