Using the workshop technique as an evaluation tool: the case of the wayfinding information behavior method
| Resumo: | There are many methods and techniques for developing and evaluating Design artifacts, which can make it challenging for designers to choose appropriately. In this context, this paper aims to present the design and execution of the workshop technique as an evaluation tool for the Wayfinding Information Behavior (WIB) method. To achieve this, concepts regarding ways to include users in the design process and characteristics of workshops as a participatory tool are described. Following this, the result of a bibliographic survey on plausible techniques and tools for application in workshops is presented. Subsequently, the workshop design for evaluating the WIB method is reported. Finally, the results of the workshop application are discussed from the perspective of users’ experience regarding their understanding of the contents and preferences for the tools of the WIB method, as well as the workshop configuration. The main contributions relate to the possibilities of interaction tools that can make the workshop technique more effective. |
