  1. From ‘social movement informatics’ to ‘Designing for civil society’

  2. Why Designing? • Design is about • problem solving • new ideas • planning & predicting • surprises • every decision about future action is ‘design’ • we are all designers

  3. Why Civil Society? • HCI 2003 – ‘Design for Society’ • but what kind of society? • is ‘work’ & ‘task’ all there is to society? • computer supported co-operative ‘work’?

  4. Some of my questions • How effective is web campaigning? • How does ‘virtual’ activity interact with ‘real’ activism? (& does it matter?) • How can the web be effectively folded into political organisation (cost / benefit)? • How might new developments such as e-government impact on the work of NGOs?

  5. What might we learn from HCI? • How to think about ease of use in this context? • websites, brands & user engagement? • how technology impacts organisations? • strategies for design & development • using mixed media in ‘collaborative work’? • how can it all be done ‘on the cheap’?
