Co-Designing AR & VR with & for Neurodiverse Learners

Description:

Co-design is authentically engaging stakeholders throughout the design process. A panel of neurodivergent and neurotypical education researchers and designers will share what they’ve done and learned about conducting successful co-design processes across multiple STEM-education projects, funded by the National Science Foundation, including recent work focused on designing augmented and virtual reality with and for neurodivergent learners, offering actionable insights for conducting successful co-design.

Takeaways

  1. Co-design that authentically engages neurodivergent stakeholders requires crafting the experience for each individual's strengths and needs.
  2. What brings each co-designer to a process is not all each brings to the process. Don’t limit anyone’s contributions, ensure meeting everyone’s goals.
  3. Co-design provides some unique benefits but comes with some challenges. The challenges can be overcome and the benefits are worth it.
