Presentations
RESNA Workshop’09
RERC RecTech has partnership with Segal Design Institute, Northwestern University. Through this partnership they conducted a workshop at RESNA. The PIs of RERC Bruce Ankenman and Stacy Benjamin presented the session title on “Using rehabilitation projects to teach user-centered design to engineering students”. The workshop discussed many of the best practices that have evolved during this time period, to enable students to successfully implement rehabilitation projects in their design courses with a shorter learning curve.
Specific topics included project selection criteria and evaluation, student/client/user interaction points, and creating effective mockups for user testing. The workshop combined lecture material, video and audience interaction activities.
The workshop had a very good response. When asked for the attendees suggestions they commented that it was a great session and very well designed. Some suggested discussing the problem solution aspects of the program in more detail. In future they have recommended covering topics to show how this works in multi-disciplinary setting and upper level design projects.
