    How to Foster Digital Inclusion of Seniors in Times of Social Distancing
    (Mensch und Computer 2020 - Workshopband, 2020) Noichl, Svenja; Schroeder, Ulrik
    Due to increasing digitalization in all areas of life, digital competences are becoming more and more relevant for senior citizens. Digital inclusion is important for them to be able to participate actively in the digital society. With the help of workshops which are didactically oriented towards the core aspects of geragogics, barriers to enter the digital world can be reduced. But how can seniors be digitally included if such offers become impossible due to pandemic situations which are requiring social distancing without the risk of digital exclusion and thus, in a certain sense, exclusion from society for individual seniors? This Problem Statement deals with these issues.

    Using Probes for Sharing (Tacit) Knowing in Participatory Design: Facilitating Perspective Making and Perspective Taking
    (i-com: Vol. 17, No. 2, 2018) Jarke, Juliane; Gerhard, Ulrike
    The sharing of expertise and tacit knowing is one of the core objectives in participatory design projects. This paper focuses on the role of probes for sharing users’ tacit knowing. We will introduce the concept of “boundary objects” [22], [21] to analyse how probes facilitate perspective taking and perspective making between users and between users and researchers. In so doing, we demonstrate that probes can facilitate the sharing of users’ tacit knowing and expertise (i) by making and explicating individual users’ perspectives, (ii) by enabling participants to take each other’s perspective and make a joint perspective and (iii) by subsequently enabling the making of a joint vision on the digital design outcome. The research presented in this paper is based on an EU-funded research and innovation project in which we co-created digital neighbourhood guide with older adults. We report from our fieldwork in city 1, where we used probes as part of our participatory design practice.
