Resisting Overzealous Transfer: Coordinating Previously Successful Routines With Needs for New Learning (2012, background): “As an illustration, good designers have a strong tradition of being client and stakeholder centered (Bransford et al., 2011; Nelson & Stolterman, 2003).”
The Nature of Design Practice and Implications for Interaction Design Research (2008, background): “Designers have to address the people and situations at hand, and the desires and needs at hand, while taking into account the limited time and resources at hand (Buchanan, 1992; Krippendorff, 2006; Nelson & Stolterman, 2003).”
Bridging Design and Behavioral Research With Variance-Based Structural Equation Modeling (2017, background): “Modeling design constructs as composites pays tribute to the fact that all artifacts or abstractions thereof consist of more elementary components (Nelson and Stolterman 2003).”
Service Design in HCI Research: The Extended Value Co-creation Model (2019, methodology): “Borrowing from Nelson and Stolterman [27]’s model of the ideal service design relationship, we visualized service design research partnership as shown in Figure 3.”
Toward inclusive tech policy design: a method for underrepresented voices to strengthen tech policy documents (2019, background): “Nelson and Stolterman (2012) characterize design as a “third way— distinct from the arts and sciences…with its own approach to learning and inquiry,” one concerned with “the ability to imagine that-which-does-not-yet-exist, to make it appear in concrete form as a new, purposeful addition to the…”
Dimensions of Creative Evaluation: Distinct Design and Reasoning Strategies for Aesthetic, Functional and Originality Judgments (2016, background): “In the design domain, Nelson and Stolterman (2012) have provided greater specificity and have listed multiple ‘design judgments’ that include framing judgments, appearance judgments, quality judgments, compositional judgments and navigational judgments.”
The Informed Design Teaching and Learning Matrix (2012, background): “Nelson and Stolterman (2003) describe the link between intention and judgment as a hallmark of “the design way.””
