Assistive Technology Design for Intelligence Augmentation presents
a series of frameworks, perspectives, and design guidelines drawn
from disciplines spanning urban design, artificial intelligence,
sociology, and new forms of collaborative work, as well as the
author's experience in designing systems for people with cognitive
disabilities. Many of the topics explored came from the author's
graduate studies at the Center for LifeLong Learning and Design,
part of the Department of Computer Science and the Institute of
Cognitive Science at the University of Colorado, Boulder. The
members of the Center for LifeLong Learning and Design came from a
wide range of design perspectives including computer science,
molecular biology, journalism, architecture, assistive technology
(AT), urban design, sociology, and psychology. The main emphasis of
this book is to provide leverage for understanding the problems
that the AT designer faces rather than facilitating the design
process itself. Looking at the designer's task with these lenses
often changes the nature of the problem to be solved. The main body
of this book consists of a series of short chapters describing a
particular approach, its applicability and relevance to design for
intelligence augmentation in complex computationally supported
systems, and examples in research and the marketplace. The final
part of the book consists of listing source documents for each of
the topics and a reading list for further exploration. This book
provides an introduction to perspectives and frameworks that are
not commonly taught in presentations of AT design which may also
provide valuable design insights to general human-computer
interaction and computer-supported cooperative work researchers and
practitioners.
