in non-designers?

“You know, I couldn’t help but think that, she was so young and early in her career, inexperienced, really. A student still. And yet she still had
the courage to believe in her design. I wonder if I could do that.”

Summary
•Content-Dependent Concepts
•Content-Independent Concepts
•The Narrative Cloud
•Typology and Components for Narratives
We introduced an HCI/d pedagogical approach to be applied in a studio-based course.
This approach employs narratives as a means to convey content-independent concepts. These stories gather in a conceptual space we call the narrative cloud, and they serve to engage students into self-reflection.

Conclusions
This self- reflection motivates achievement of two student goals:
1.Consciousness
2.Empowerment

Conclusions
•Student acceptance
•Design principles
•Best fit (curriculum/instructor)

Conclusions
•How to build a framework for practical use?
•When to consider the narrative cloud?
•What are the implications of use?

Future Work
They strengthen and refine their sense of agency by composing their own life narratives. In the end, the students are the story.The graduate students of the HCI/d studio after their participation
