ABSTRACT:
Cooperative design, also called participatory design, was introduced in IT projects in the 1980s.
A seminal project was Utopia on IT tools for graphic workers, conducted in Sweden, Denmark and Norway, and the approach of strong involvement of users is often called the Scandinavian model of IT design.
I will give an overview of methodology, examples, lessons learnt, developments of the approach over the years and ideas of future developments.
