Four new papers!
Is human-centered design harmful?
In a provocative essay,
usability guru Donald Norman stirred controversy in 2005 by questioning
human-centered design approaches and calling for designers to focus more on
the context of human activity within which use takes place.
Activity Modeling is a breakthrough that helps interaction designers and
other design professionals to practice what Norman and others have been
preaching. A new paper on activity
modeling presents a practical framework for applying activity theory in
usage-centered and task-centered design.
Other important new articles:
