Manifesting embodiment: designers' variations on a theme
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an overview of a CSCL 2009 panel that brings together five researchers whose work attempts to leverage physical embodiment in the design of technologies to support learning. Through a critical examination of distinctive approaches design rationales, design features, and learner outcomes the panel seeks to spark discussion over the principles by which designs might be driven and the role of design instances in advancing our understanding of embodiment as a construct.

Shared memory in design : a unifying theme for research and practice
This paper presents a new unifying theme for design theory by emphasizing the importance of context . We arrive at our conclusions by examining and then criticizing the legitimacy of universal methods in design upon which the critical importance of context emerges. The collaborative aspects of design focuses attention on the conception of shared meaning. We introduce and elaborate the concept o...
متن کاملConceptual and Biofunctional Embodiment: A Long Story on the Transience of the Enduring Mind
We examine how embodiment in biological activity is different from conceptual embodiment as reflected in classic, modern, and postmodern perspectives on tacit knowledge. The central theme of the essay is how understanding is embodied conceptually and biofunctionally. We focus (a) on how biofunctional understanding (BU) is different from conceptual understanding (CU) and (b) on how the overall d...
متن کاملSolving an Air Conditioning System Problem using Constraint Satisfaction
In this paper, the embodiment design of an air conditioning system (ACS) in an aircraft is investigated using interval constraint satisfaction techniques. The detailed ACS model is quite complex to solve, since it contains many coupled variables and many constraints corresponding to complex physics phenomena. Some new heuristics and notions based on embodiment design knowledge, are brie y intro...
متن کاملOn Naturally Embodied Cyborgs: Identities, Metaphors, and Models
This paper examines a specific appeal to philosophical anthropology—Andy Clark’s—and the role it plays in shaping his account of “our fundamental cyborg humanity.” By focusing on the theme of embodiment, we also inquire into how phenomenology might benefit from Clark’s account as well as how Clark’s account might benefit from further engagement with phenomenology. Throughout, we explore interan...
متن کاملDesign Rationale Capturing Model for Use during the Embodiment Phase of the Product Design
An analysis of a design rationale focusing on the embodiment design stage is presented through the characterization of information describing design problems, alternative solutions, arguments, explanations and decisions of designers. The characterization of the design questions resulted from empirical research. The findings have been used to describe in detail elements of a design rationale cap...
