Description
IA, as “design for understanding,” is needed in many places in our digitalized society. However, IA is recognized as required as a specification of a created artifact.
However, when IA is viewed not only as a deliverable but also as a process to be considered, the process in which teams collaborate toward the deliverable to be created can find its value.
In this session, using the concept of boundary objects proposed by Star et al., we will introduce the concept of using IA as a means of collaboration, not just as a deliverable, and discuss its potential.
