Contents
Tools, Technology, and Human Experience
- Students read an essay, Preserving Wilderness, by Wendell Berry—the American writer, naturalist, and farmer—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.
- David Hendry, Value Sensitive Design Lab, The Information School, University of Washington.
- PDF | DOC | bib.tex
Do Tools and Technology Have Values?
- Students explore the question: Do tools and technology have values? Two of the readings—Kransberg (1986) and Orlikowski (2000)—are challenging for undergraduate students but ultimately rewarding. Used in undergraduate teaching.
- David Hendry, Value Sensitive Design Lab, The Information School, University of Washington.
- PDF | DOC | bib.tex
Technology and Society: To App or Not to App
- Drawing on Wallach (2015) and Wiener (1950), students consider the difference between "know how" and "know what." Used in undergraduate teaching.
- David Hendry, Value Sensitive Design Lab, The Information School, University of Washington.
- PDF | DOC | bib.tex
Engineering for Responsibility
- Students read an account of "Responsible Innovation" (van den Hoven, 2013) and consider how value sensitive design might be a means for obtaining the goal of responsible innovation. In-class discussions typically turn to challenging questions related to cultural, economic, political, and social issues—for example, the connection between system design and capitalism and the environment. Used in undergraduate teaching.
- David Hendry, Value Sensitive Design Lab, The Information School, University of Washington.
- PDF | DOC | bib.tex
Technology Projects and Value Sensitive Design
- Students are prompted, first, to find a recent account of a technology project in the popular press and, second, to critically analyze the account with value sensitive design theory. Outcome: Students develop analytic skills for employing theory. Used in undergraduate teaching.
- David Hendry, Value Sensitive Design Lab, The Information School, University of Washington.
