Everyday experience as stimuli for technology enhanced creativity workshops

Published:26 October 2009Publication History

ABSTRACT

The design of a creativity workshop is presented which helps to develop new ideas of how to support elderly people to live in their own home as long as possible. The participants of the workshops were provided with special stimuli which are based on everyday experiences with the needs and problems of elder people. The facilitation of the workshop had to introduce these stimuli and to combine it with appropriate brainstorming questions, material to work with and technical support which offers the display of and interaction with information units on a 4.8m x 1.2m interactive large screen. Various modes of work and collaboration were combined. The case study is concluded with lessons learned about how everyday experience can be appropriately introduced into creativity workshops.
