Uma abordagem participativa para a modelagem de compartilhamento e discussão sobre técnicas do design participativo mediados por sistemas colaborativos

Abstract

Searching for and choosing Participatory Design techniques for supporting the democratic empowerment of users, in the development process of a software system, has to be done through manual searching in the literature, which is still scattered. Choosing a technique that does not provide conditions for the establishment of a dialog between designers and users might bring risks to the project and the quality of life of the people that will use the artifacts. This study describes the participatory construction and evaluation, of an alternative for sharing and discussing Participatory Design techniques through a groupware mashup. We expect, from this study, to improve searching and decision making regarding techniques for the active and democratic involvement of people.
