“ Computer programs emerge as the outcome of complex human processes of cognition, communication and negotiation, which serve to establish the meaningful embedding of the computer system in its intended use context. ”

Jarrett, Caroline, Petrie, Helen and Summers, Kathryn (2010): Design to read: designing for people who do not read easily. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2010 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems 2010. pp. 4481-4484.

“Many people do not read easily. They may have an impairment such as a visual problem. They may be reading in stressful conditions or poor light, or perhaps they are reading in a second language. Is it possible to provide one consistent set of guidelines or approaches that will allow designers of electronic materials to meet all the apparently diverse needs of these people? Or are there compromises to be made? If so, what are those compromises?”

Jarrett, Caroline, Grant, Katie, Wong, William, Kodagoda, Neesha and Summers, Kathryn (2008): Designing for People who do not Read Easily. In: Proceedings of the HCI08 Conference on People and Computers XXII 2008. pp. 201-202.

“Many people do not read easily for all sorts of reasons: social and cultural, because of impairments, or because of their context. Even in the area of impairments, design for people with learning disabilities might be very different from design for people with visual impairments. But many sets of guidelines, such as WCAG 2.0, are promulgated that attempt to provide one unified approach to design. This workshop will attempt to explore issues in design for people who do not read easily: what do we know, what commonalities can we exploit, and what we need to find out.”

Kaplan, Nancy, Chisik, Yoram, Knudtzon, Kendra, Kulkarni, Rahul, Moulthrop, Stuart, Summers, Kathryn and Weeks, Holly (2004): Supporting sociable literacy in the international children's digital library. In: Proceedings of ACM IDC04: Interaction Design and Children 2004. pp. 89-96.

“As each generation of children grows up in a world shaped by the affordances available to them in both physical and digital environments, their expectations of tools to support changing literacy practices make new demands on technologists and designers. To ensure that digital libraries (DLs) for young people support their understandings of libraries and reading (and not just adults' conceptions), an intergenerational design team (IDT) at the University of Baltimore (UB) used contextual inquiry and participatory design to develop concepts for augmenting the International Children's Digital Library (ICDL) to make it more appropriate for 10-14 year olds. Our prototype aims to support "sociable literacy," a set of practices made possible by digital storage, retrieval and use of texts.”

Knudtzon, Kendra, Druin, Allison, Kaplan, Nancy, Summers, Kathryn, Chisik, Yoram, Kulkarni, Rahul, Moulthrop, Stuart, Weeks, Holly and Bederson, Benjamin B. (2003): Starting an intergenerational technology design team: a case study. In: Proceedings of ACM IDC03: Interaction Design and Children 2003. pp. 51-58.

“This paper presents a case study of the first three months of a new intergenerational design team with children ages 10-13. It discusses the research and design methods used for working with children of this age group, the challenges and opportunities of starting a new team, and the lessons learned.”
