Exploring Human Computation and Social Computing to Inform the Design Process

Abstract

Although several standards, recommendations and guidelines have been used to assist designers in their tasks, much of the design choices still rely heavily on the designer’s experience. In this work we argue that complex choices about interface elements (e.g. images, icons, sounds) could have the help of the users themselves to inform the designer´s choices. The paper situates the contribution in the intersection of the human computation and social computing fields, showing a preliminary survey of related work. Moreover, we illustrate the idea with an instantiation of an environment for designers, within the frontiers of human computation and social computing.
