Slides that accompanied the lightning talk I gave at EuroIA 2014, in Brussels. I published a short blog article at the same time, to accompany it See http://ebiinterfaces.wordpress.com/2014/09/25/euroia-2014-and-activity-diagrams/ It might help you make sense of these 5 slides, at least, and you can download an activity diagram template.

1. Maybe there’s more to this than
user-centered design?

2. UX design ≠ user-centered design
Don’t worry, that’s not heresy

3. Consider “lenses” other than UCD
through which to view your work
Activity-centered design might be a
useful place to start…

4. A little less conversation,
a little more action

(kind of like a persona)

5. A problem of scalability in
complex environments?
What activities do you need
to support and design for?
Think about the ecology that
you are designing for
