Description
"While many well meaning efforts bring technology design to bear on problems in developing economies, such as Google People Finder, One Laptop Per Child, etc., fewer efforts involve local participants or settings in the design process. In this talk, Dr. Chris Hoadley — associate professor and director of the Educational Communications and Technology program at New York University — shares work on collaboration with youth, NGOs, and technologists in India, Nepal, and Bhutan, and highlights some of the challenges in trying to create indigenous design capacity."
