To contribute to the coop you must first create an account (see below).
 
Once you have an account, please see the style guide to understand formatting your contribution. As the coop is under development, please feel free to make notes or changes where you see fit. 
 
 
=== Create an Account ===
 
Our process for registering new users is still underdevelopment. For now, please email Nick at nlogler@uw.edu and let him know who you are and why you're interested and he will set up an account for you.
 
 
=== Style Guide ===
 
Each section begins with a recommendation regarding what to include in content as you share it on the Coop. Please feel free to submit your own original materials, as well as materials created by others (assuming you have permission to share).
 
 
Each template type includes the the formatting you need to create your own entry. For example, putting <nowiki>'''</nowiki> around text makes it bold.
 
 
''' Look there are three apostrophes in a row (<nowiki>'''</nowiki>) on either side of this text. '''
 
''' That is why it appears bold. '''
 
 
The templates may at first seem confusing. For example, characters such as <nowiki> :: </nowiki> [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting format text] in wiki markup. In this case the two colons indent the text. We hope you can use either the blank format, or the example as a template to use when adding your own content. 
 
 
This is here to make adding content as easy as possible. If you have suggestions for format styling or information to include, please try it out.
 
 
At the VSD lab at the University of Washington, we have started using [www.github.com Git Hub] as an online repository for some of the teaching resources we use (e.g., pdfs, slides, word docs, etc). If you would like to contribute to a larger repository follow the instruction (Link to be added).

Students read an essay, ''Preserving Wilderness'', by Wendell Berry&mdash;the American writer,
 
naturalist, and farmer&mdash;and explore how an enduring set of questions about design apply to
 
human-centered design and value sensitive design. Used in undergraduate and graduate teaching for
 
about 10 years.

Revision as of 19:08, 31 July 2019

This coop is for all who seek to teach on human values, tools & technology, and design, in such areas as Information Science, Informatics, Computer Science, Engineering, Design, Media Arts, and related areas.

We seek to help catalyze a community of practice around educational resources related to Value Sensitive Design, but all sympathetic approaches are welcome.

Goals for the value sensitive design coop
