had a small breakthrough today on the PhD: when asked to write for 10 minutes non stop in a ‘how to get yourself started’ workshop.
I discovered that I’ve never really stated that I want to approach this PhD as a design problem, looking at education and other things (like IxDA) as a service.
so
- if IxDA, education etc are a service, what behavior is that service supporting?
- How can I turn the light of IxD research on itself?
- How can you use the process and methods that interaction design employs to better understand what it needs as a field?
This really interests me because it sits at the intersection of academic and practical understandings of IxD practice..
…so to help us answer the question: what does it mean to be a member of IxDA?
Maybe we need to first answer the question: what does it mean to be an interaction designer?
