Presentation on the changing nature of design and the new opportunities for participation in design enabled through social technologies - given at OZCHI Melbourne 2009. Full paper is published through the ACM Library. The emphasis on participation in social technologies challenges some of our traditional assumptions about the role of users and designers in design. It also exposes some of the limitations and assumptions about design embedded in our traditional models and methods. Based on a review of emerging practice in industry and academia, this presentation provides an overview of four ways in which people are participating in design, that have emerged largely in response to, and as a result of, social technologies. By presenting this ‘lay of the land’, we seek to contribute to ongoing work on the nature of participation and design in the context of social technologies. We draw particular attention to the ways in which roles and responsibilities in design are being reassigned and redistributed. As traditional boundaries between design and use and designer and user dissolve, design is becoming more public. In the context of social technologies design is moving out into the wild.
