Different Mindsets
There are two different mindsets that are discussed in CSC2002S.
Those mindsets are the Expert mindset and the Participatory mindset.
The Expert Mindset
“Users” are often seen as subjects, with experts analysing and making decisions on
their behalf.
It may lack user’s input (The user not getting to say what type of product they would
want; they just have to stick to what the experts choose for them).
The Participatory Mindset
“Users” are considered as partners in this design process, their inputs and
collaboration are actively attempted to be found to create a more user-centrelic
solution.
