Comparison and analysis of user and stakeholder needs across different countries
- 2010
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The current deliverable aims at presenting the results of the analysis of stakeholder needs, in order to have support for selecting the most relevant use cases. For the identification of user requirements of all stakeholders relevant to school transportation different methods were used:- Focus groups with representatives of one user or stakeholder group- Workshops with different stakeholders- 2 questionnaire surveys (Questionaire A: Road Experts, Questionaire B: children, parents and bus drivers)Problems and needs in the following areas were subject of discussions, interviews and questionnaires:- Behaviour of road users counteracting with school buses- Behaviour of pupils on the school bus and while entering and exiting the same- Design of bus stops- Protection of pupils on the school bus- Condition of school buses- Education of school bus drivers- Education of pupils concerning school transportation- Information flow- Route to/from school- Special needs of children with disabilitiesResults show that the organisation of school transport varies between countries and even within a country. Stakeholders underline the importance of consistent regulations and clear responsibilities as a basis for a safe way to school by bus.

Pilot plans
- 2011
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The current Deliverable outlines the actual planning for the execution of the SAFEWAY2SCHOOL Pilots and is prepared in the context of WP7: “Verification Pilots evaluation” and specifically A7.1: “Evaluation Framework”. Pilots are experiments with users, which aim to contribute to the overall evaluation of the SAFEWAY2SCHOOL system. Pilots are an integral part of the final implementation of the SAFEWAY2SCHOOL system. Thus, it is important that Pilots are organised to cover all needs across SAFEWAY2SCHOOL subsystems or units, different users, different environments, etc. To this end, the aim of this Deliverable is to organise the Pilots of SAFEWAY2SCHOOL project in an optimal way with respect to the overall project objectives. The Pilot plan Deliverable should be considered as a living document, since minor changes may occur until the actual realisation of the Pilots. The aim of this document is to lay the foundation for the SAFEWAY2SCHOOL system evaluation. It covers what should be measured, broken down into the responsibilities of each pilot site, including the German simulator site. The document also provides a theoretical background to the pilot site testing, i.e., why should the appointed variables be measured. Lastly, it covers how each of the variables should be measured, also broken down into the responsibilities of each pilot site, including the German simulator site. The current Deliverable presents in detail the evaluation plans that have been developed in the context of the SAFEWAYSCHOOL project for the evaluation of the system under development.

Design for children and older people - Educating the Next Generation of Designers : Preface to Special Issue
- 2014
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This special issue of the IxD&A journal focuses on design for children and older people, both in teaching and in design practice. The aim is to expand the results from the DEVICE project (DEVICE - DEsign for Vulnerable generatIons – Children and Elderly) and from the workshops “Show me yours, and I’ll show you mine – Teaching design for children and the elderly” held at the The 2nd International Conference for Design Education Researchers in Oslo 2013 and “Curriculum or not – Show us how you teach Interaction Design & Children!” held at the IDC - Interaction Design & Children 2014 conference in Aarhus. This goal is achieved by discussing issues related to the involvement of children and older people in Interaction Design, aiming also at a better understanding of the underlying concerns and potentials in this realm. This special issue thus represents an attempt to collect and share the contributions of educators, researchers, designers and practitioners regarding teaching designers Interaction Design for children and older people. In addition, it tries to foster the sharing of best practices and methods, and to encourage a discussion in the relevant academic and professional communities. Despite the fact that a growing interest is targeting the needs of children and older people in design processes, only little research and debate have been devoted to developing teaching modules for design methods and practices aiming at covering these particular tasks. Our main concern is thus focused onto the risk that a gap between the accumulation of knowledge in the field and the transfer of this knowledge to new generations of designers could emerge and grow at a greater pace compared to the efforts put in place to fill it in.

Increasing Focus on Vulnerable Generations in Design Teaching: the DEVICE Project
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Europe Chapter Annual Meeting.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The DEVICE project aspires to bridge traditional industrial design programs with ergonomics, usability concepts and user experience approaches with a specific focus on vulnerable generations. It intends to address the need to modernize and develop educational programs with a specific focus on vulnerable generations, mainly children and elderly, and to become a milestone towards the modernization of design education. To improve the design practice in the area of design for children, it is necessary not only to study and improve methodology, but also to transfer the gained knowledge to new generations of designers in order to ensure its use in design. We wish to contribute to the community by bringing up the discussion on how to transform our knowledge and teach how to design for children.

Training designers for vulnerable generations: a quest for a more inclusive design
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Interaction Design & Architechture. - 1826-9745 .- 2283-2998. ; :21, s. 25-36
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents findings from a project focusing on the specific needs of vulnerable generations - children and elderly people - in design teaching and training activities. The thirty-months project embodied a series of activities for developing, implementing and evaluating teaching materials focused on design for vulnerable generations, and identified two critical elements for the promotion of more inclusive design. First, knowledge and skills were identified through a collaborative process with stakeholders. We also applied in-depth data collection methods, surveys, interviews and case studies with experts and operators in relevant industry and research centres, in order to identify training needs. From this, nine teaching modules were developed and tested in pilot studies. These will be made freely available online. Second, we identified the need to disseminate, focus and increase awareness among teachers, design students and professionals for vulnerable generations. This was achieved through the establishment of an international design award. Three different categories of award with relevant sets of criteria were developed through an iterative process and have been launched and evaluated. The contribution of this paper is twofold. Firstly, to encourage educators, through the communication and dissemination of the results of the project, to extend their user groups to include design for vulnerable generations, and secondly to enhance designers’ interest and knowledge in working with design for vulnerable generations.

Curriculum or Not – Show Us How You Teach Interaction Design and Children!
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Workshop proceedings of Interaction Design and Children Conference IDC´14.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The workshop intends to bring together educators, researchers, designers, and practitioners to explore issues regarding interaction design and children, to discuss training needs from different perspectives, and to share best practice methods to teach designers how to design technologies for children. There is a growing awareness of the needs of children, but less focus on developing teaching modules for design methods and practices aiming at covering their needs. To improve the design practice in the area of design for children, it is necessary to not only study and improve methodology, but also how to transfer the gained knowledge to new generations of designers to ensure its use in design. The overall aim of the workshop is to find ways to initiate discussions on an emerging interaction design curriculum with a specific focus on children.
