Human Computer Interaction for development
I am in Uppsala Sweden this week where we are considering how technology can aid development, further details are at https://sites.google.com/a/lkl.ac.uk/idfdr/thee
Some of the emerging themes are
capacity building, and whose capacity really needs building.
What is the role of a researcher and who determines the agenda of what gets onto the research agenda?
Is it right to give people interactive white boards for class rooms when they can't afford water?
How important is the understanding of the organisation of local communities by those coming in to carry out projects?
Who should broker access to communities and politicians?
Would love to hear your views on some of these
