1 Definition[edit | edit source]

Design methodology tells what methodology to use in order to build things.

2 Design methodologies[edit | edit source]

This section needs to be written. For the moment follow links below

Artifacts and design rules

Design languages, i.e. the tools used to describe artifacts, e.g. educational modelling languages.
design rules, i.e. one kind of output

Related subjects and fields

Instructional design methods
In software engineering: Human-computer interaction, User-centered design
Usability and web usability
In education and educational technology: design-based research
Design and emotion

Relevant other disciplines

Ethnography
Activity theory, in particular the change laboratory method
Cognitive load theory

Humor

(actually includes some interesting patterns of bad practice that readers seem to have experienced).

Research project methodology

- Note: This seems to be the only useful (general) methodology book related to design-oriented research. Very dense reading, but worth to buy, ~~directly from here (no other place sells it): http://www.uta.fi/taju ... a small and friendly university bookshop (tested by me)~~ No more available (new adress on the university book shop: https://www.tuni.fi/en/library/study-and-research/tampere-university-press/our-books). Seemed to have examplary in finnish : https://www.booky.fi/search.php?search=on+research+methods
