  • Implementing Contextual Design for the Aging Designing Technologies for and with Older Adults
    IMPLEMENTING CONTEXTUAL DESIGN FOR THE AGING DESIGNING TECHNOLOGIES FOR AND WITH OLDER ADULTS Grace Cha / Sidney Brinson / Jessica Lee / Claudia B. Rebola Georgia Institute of Technology [email protected] / [email protected] / [email protected] / [email protected] 1. INTRODUCTION The average life expectancy in the United States has increased significantly. Between 1900 and 2003, life expectancy has increased by 30 years (Quadagno, 2013), impacting the need for older adult products and services. Within Asia, North America, and Europe, the population of people over age 65 in 2009 ranged from 6%-16%. By 2030, these percentages are predicted to range from 17%-29%. As the older adult population increases, there is a need to design products that can aid older adults in the aging process. Incorporating technologies in product design can bring promising opportunities to better assist older adults. However, designing technologies easily adopted by older adults can be challenging. Traditional design approaches may not be sufficient for designing technologies considering the decline of physical, perceptual, and cognitive abilities that humans experience with age (Fisk et al., 2009). Contextual Design is an effective method for designing implementable technology for and with older adults because it employs a variety of research methods that enable the designer with an understanding of the user in his or her context. This paper presents the structure and steps of the Contextual Design process and its application with a case study, KeepSeek, an interactive shelving system designed to bolster social connectedness for older adults. 2. BACKGROUND Universal design is the design of accessible products and environments to be usable by all people, including older adults, to the greatest extent possible without the need for adaptation or specialized design.

Motion graphic combines graphic design, animation design, and film languages. Motion graphic is a new industry with intense performance styles and can be used in different media and platforms, such as commercials, music videos, film and television titles, web pages, and various display screen sizes, etc. Because motion graphic is a non-narrative time-based media, mostly it combines with music. The Taiwan 25th Golden Melody Awards introduced motion graphic design for the first time in 2014.

  • A Contextual Design Example
    Manuscript submission for 2005 Proceedings of AECT, Volume #1 Understanding and Representing Learning Activity to Support Design: A Contextual Design Example Mark Notess Digital Library Program Indiana University Music Library 1201 E. Third Street Bloomington, Indiana USA 47405-7006 +1.812.856.0494 [email protected] Understanding and Representing Learning Activity to Support Design: A Contextual Design Example Mark Notess Abstract Contextual Design is a well-defined method for gathering and representing user understanding within a coherent design process. This paper illustrates the value of Contextual Design to educational system design by describing a case study involving 14 contextual inquiry sessions that were carried out in and around the Indiana University music library, in support of designing technology for student learning. Findings are presented as diagrammatic work models, an affinity diagram, and a list of insights and design ideas. The utility of Contextual Design work modeling is assessed, and some limitations in its ability to represent learning are considered. Introduction Designing useful educational technologies requires us to understand the potential users of those technologies, the tasks the users bring with them, and the contexts of use. As we have developed our next-generation digital music library, Variations2 (Variations2, 2005), we have taken a valuable opportunity to gain this understanding by studying usage of its predecessor, the Variations system (Dunn & Mayer, 1999; Variations, 2005). This paper reports on the second in a sequence of contextual inquiry studies of digital music library use. Results from the first study have been partially reported (Notess, 2004a). A small subset of results from the present study were reported elsewhere (Notess, 2004b).

A successful architec- tural project in that sense would not only be visually related to its context in a meaningful way, but its form giving conceptual framework would be part of an idea about the site and its relation to the context. Three different modes of architectural inquiry mutually inform each other.
