| dc.description | “Between on and off” is an interaction design diploma that explores and discusses users right and design ethics in the digital context of today. By exploring how users could be given more actionable choices related to terms of use, the content they see, and their own level of activity, without having to abandon completely from the digital community. With this diploma I aim to understand and reflect on users rights and habits and to contribute to a discussion about design ethics and the role of the designer The research consist of findings from interviews with users, professionals, books and publications and theories, leading in to a interactive and explorative design process resulting in a contribution consisting of 1: three basis for discussions about design ethics and rights in digital, with topics and conceptual sketches presenting parts of possible solutions with the aim to make concrete examples of how designing for right in digital could look like. The sketches exemplifies opportunities where users of social media get more room to actionable choices and to contribute in the space they curate and brings something more concrete to the table to reflect around. 2: Sharing my reflections with the field of interaction design through a workshop and in a written article. The goal has been to understand, explore and reflect - and hopefully contribute to a discussion about users rights and well as the role of the designer in the digital shift. The process behind my delivery had a high impact on the result; The research I have done, the choices I have taken, the feedback I got, the reflections I have shared have all contributed that the overall result. My delivery is a contribution to a discussion, done by giving concrete examples that works like starting point for discussion | nb_NO |
