Co-design Session III Planning - May 16, 2019

• Half of participants will be deaf. 

• BiT is working on hiring/booking ASL interpreters - 

  • hoping to have 3 or 4 interpreters - is that enough? Will need at least 4

    • Would help to know if participants want/use ASL or not, or use other means of communicating

  • Could group deaf participants together so that we don’t need an interpreter during the small group work - just to relay information to and from the group

  • Will have a better idea as we confirm the participants

  • What about captioning? 

    • Waiting to ask participants about their preferences may be waiting too long to book someone

    • BiT team knows someone who might be willing to be on standby

    • What about auto-captioning? It probably doesn’t work that well 

• Between 15-20 participants.

• Likely no low-vision or blind participants

• 5-6 returning participants

• Mix of returning, deaf community and hearing folks, social position and employment relations for academia and art

• Want to group participants according to “what they do in the world”/how they might use the platform

  • Because we want them to develop user story(s) based on shared experiences

  • May end up having a lot of artists - will probably break them into 2 groups

• Site map and mockups - tactile version?

  • Site map - Blocks that can be moved around

  • Mockups - create something in Google slides and have a station at each table so folks can work digitally if they want to - to move the blocks around?

  • Let’s stick to physical printouts, since we tried using Google Draw last time and no one used it

• BiT is organising the food - we can send contact info for our caterer

Day Schedule:

• 3rd activity, co-design the session - summarize them for the folks and see what they are interested in

• Prepare a list of questions
