ABSTRACT
The goal of this full-day workshop is to create a place where people can share experiences, plans, and questions about teaching Participatory Design (PD). We aim to create a context for all of us to talk about how we design and set up courses, what challenges we face and how we solve them. The workshop is for people who are interested in the way people teach as well as in what is taught and what resources are gathered to aid the process. During the workshop, we will explore in an interactive manner how constructivist approaches to teaching can support the teaching and learning of participatory design in academic and non-academic contexts. We will also discuss experiences in using recent material such as the new (2012) PD Handbook. We hope that this dialogue can become a regular part of PDC.

Teaching participatory design
PDC '08: Proceedings of the Tenth Anniversary Conference on Participatory Design 2008In this paper we reflect on how to teach methods used in participatory design (PD) to graduate students. We describe a course concept that has proved very successful both in terms of student satisfaction and course results during the last years. ...
Teaching participatory design: a participatory approach
PDC '10: Proceedings of the 11th Biennial Participatory Design ConferenceIn this paper we describe our experience in teaching Participatory Design during a period of student activism. The paper begins with an introduction to the general contexts, characterised by widespread university budget cuts and student activism, and ...
Teaching participatory design using live projects: critical reflections and lessons learnt
PDC '18: Proceedings of the 15th Participatory Design Conference: Full Papers - Volume 1There are few examples of academic work that describe Participatory Design (PD) and Co-design instruction. This paper presents experiences from four years of teaching a university course on Co-design and PD to an average of 57 students per year. A main ...
