- How to help someone use a computer, by Phil Agre. A short set of practical guidelines on helping people use computers without oppressing them. I learned most of these ideas from teachers of young children, but they apply equally well to anyone. With slight revisions in the language, these tips might apply to countless other areas as well, from designing educational software to undergraduate teaching to mailing list etiquette. Many of Agre's tips are closely tied to principles of situated learning, an area he has written about extensively. |
