Generating Design Directionsfor Persuasive Technology
with the Inspiration Card Workshop
Why participatory design?
• Research agenda(Davis, PERSUASIVE 2009)
• Ethics
• Pragmatics
Research questions
1. How can participatory design methods lead to effective persuasive technologies?
2. What are the ethical outcomes?
Goal: Co-design persuasive technology with Grinnell College EcoHouse
Participatory Methods
• Exploratory activities
• Inspiration Card Workshop (Halskov & Dalsgård, PDC 2006)
Exploratory Activities
• Interviews
• Document review
• Participant-observation
• Generative tools
Domain Cards
Technology Cards
Inspiration Cards

Non-computational Tech Card
Non-Computational Design
The Design in Action
Ongoing work:Connecting EcoHouses
Ongoing work: GreenRes.Net
Results: Summary
• Inspiration Cards used in a variety of ways
• Persuasive strategies and technology channels mostly reflective of input Technology Cards
• Audiences include selves, others
• Concepts are feasible
• At least one concept worth pursuing
• Some discussion of ethical issues, though this was not an explicit goal of the method
Ethics: Means (1)
Ethics: Means (2)
Ethics: Ends
Questionsfor Future Work
When is PD (not) appropriate?
Other participatory approaches to exploring behavior, desires, and barriers to change?
Participatory approaches tailored toa specific technology channel?
How to engage both potential users and experts?
How to intentionally engage potential users in ethical discussions?
