Quality Kit
HVAD? En open-ended design kit-løsning som giver mulighed for online social interaktion i karantæne-situationer i forbindelse med COVID-19.
HVORDAN? Projektet baserer sig på teoretiske studier af open-ended design (dvs. design som er kontekstbestemt og “ufærdigt”), participatory design (som involverer brugeren i designprocessen) og empiriske studier med mere end 30 deltagere. Pga. COVID-19 blev det afgørende at tilpasse og udvikle metoderne til involvering af deltagerne til et online-format, fx de kulturelle undersøgelser og en design workshop.
HVORFOR? Forbedring af vores mentale og fysiske helbred er blandt FN’s verdensmål, og COVID-19-krisen har ikke gjort problematikken mindre påtrængende med de helbredsmæssige og sociale problemer, som følger med isolation.
WHAT? An open-ended design kit to promote online social interaction in connection with COVID-19 quarantine situations.
HOW? The project was carried out through theoretical studies of open-ended design and participatory design, and empirical studies with more than 30 participants. In particular, for the research to continue during the pandemic period, participatory design methods (cultural probes and a design workshop) were appropriately modified and developed to enable research online.
WHY? Improving our mental and physical health is among the UN’s Global Goals, and the issue has not become less urgent during the COVID-19 crisis where we see health issues and social problems caused by isolation.
