[IxDA Discuss] "Elements of Interaction Design"

[Fred van Amstel]

Extending Dave´s vision, I think context is the broader element that
encompass all other. Interaction designers create and modify symbolic,
social and cultural contexts through their artifacts.

Dan´s elements are resources or factors we have to deal to create the
context, but he only elicited built-in artifact caracteristics that
cannot grant predicted user actions, because it´s effects depends
strongly on context.

I think symbolic, social and cultural factors are much more suitable
to be called "the elements of interaction design" instead of thoose
isolated intrinsic caracteristics.

I´m thinking the domain of the interaction designer is somewhat like that:

User > Behavior > Activities > Tasks > Actions > System
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                     Designer
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
System > Controls > Flows > Environments > Adaptation > User
