Instructional Design and User Experience Design: Values and Perspectives Examined Through Artifact Analysis

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Intersections Across Disciplines

Abstract

An exploration of values and perspectives embodied in designed artifacts was conducted via the analysis of two artifacts: Mathemagics-Mental Math Tricks™ and Photomath™. Two frameworks were used for the analysis, first principles of instruction and interaction criticism, in order to identify points at which similar and different value positions and specific perspectives may have been in play during design. Authors discuss informed impressions of the professional values in play for the artifacts’ designers, presumably absorbed from the fields in which they practice and manifest in the artifacts they have produced, and call for exploration of such values across related fields of design to enrich practice in both.
