Let's try to design reification services and scenario in use

PALETTE Workshop

OHRID, Summer School, 16 June 2008

Bernadette Charlier, UniversitĂŠ de Fribourg

Annick Rossier, UniversitĂŠ de Fribpurg

This workshop presents part of the research and development conducted by the European project PALETTE (Pedagogically sustained Adaptive Learning Through the exploitation of Tacit and Explicit knowledge). Using a simulation strategy, it offers the opportunity to get familiar with the custom made participatory design approach adopted by the project. Participants are invited to take part in a two steps experiment. Firstly, an appropriation session allows confronting the services in use with the anticipated use of the developers. Secondly, participants interacting with project researchers and developers determine improvements for better services to support the activity of a community of practice.
