on pages 260-267 in my semantic turn, you find several ways of validating
designs. of course these ways are embedded in a larger argument

Hello there,
I am thinking of running an experiment in which I will have participants
make a design. Some participants would have design guidelines, others a case
study, and others yet nothing. The design task is simple in nature and
involves placing an information artifact in a public location where
different groups of users can access it.
I was interested in measuring the quality of the design solutions. Can
someone on the list please indicate papers, books, journals, magazines,
conferences, or methods that deal with the evaluation of designs? Are there
some agreed upon methods in the design research community?
Thanks,
peter
