A Modern Greek online course designed through participatory design and social distributed constructionism
Giorgos Zacharia, Panayiotis Zaphiris, Andrew Laghos · 2003
We present the implementation of Distributed Constructionism (DC) through a Participatory Design (PD) methodology for an Online Greek Language Learning community. Participatory design will be implemented as a four step process: (a) Build bridges with the intended users (b) Map user needs and suggestions to the system (c) Develop a prototype (d) Integrate feedback and continue the iteration. The success of this course was assessed through a series of evaluation exercises, result of which are presented here. Zaphiris P., Laghos A., Zacharia G. (2005).
