To Do

• read Fischer, G. (2007): "Meta-Design: Expanding Boundaries and Redistributing Control in Design", Proceedings of the Interact'2007 Conference, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, September, pp. 193-206; http://l3d.cs.colorado.edu/~gerhard/papers/Interact-2007.pdf
• Meta-design is "design for designers" -meta-designers create a context to which "prosumers" (= users who act as producers and consumers) can contribute content.

Task 1

Wikis fall into this category. Compare Wikis as meta-design environments with another meta-design environment of your choice for which user-generated content is the defining feature.

Task 2

Analyze in detail the following two Wikis:

• the Wiki used for our course with which you are (or at least should be) very familiar http://ngw.cs.colorado.edu
• the Wiki for the research community in "Creativity and Information Technology" at: http://swiki.cs.colorado.edu:3232/CreativeIT

Create Your Response

To create your response, you should first choose a name for it (it's a good idea to have your group-name in the name)
