What is a Living Lab?

A Living Lab is a user-centric innovation environment built on every-day practice and research, with an approach that facilitates user influence in open and distributed innovation processes engaging all relevant partners in real-life contexts, aiming to create sustainable values [Følstad, 2008]

We want to to design a territorial Living Lab in Reunion Island

Example: management of musical signs

“There is the first part where the left and right hand play the same notes, namely two fifths (plays). For the right hand, we will develop all notes but for the moment, it is better to play only the fifths, so that the notes are rapidly incorporated (plays the fifths). “

Conclusion: what sort of assessment?Conclusion: what sort of assessment?

Evaluation of a tool with end-users

Focus group, questionnaires

Qualitative results

=> Living Lab

Evaluation of users with a tool

Surveys, statistical analysis

Quantitative results

=> Focus on the qualitative learning of users

The Teaching-Playing-Learning Living Lab has to tackle both aspects of assessment
