Bagnall, Peter (2008): Using Personas Effectively. In: Proceedings of the HCI08 Conference on People and Computers XXII 2008. pp. 215-216.

“Personas are a powerful design and communication tool to help all those involved in the creation of interactive systems to better focus their efforts on their users. A persona is a fictional character made to represent an archetypal user, and is best derived from field research. They help direct design, and clearly communicate that design to both to marketing and engineering teams.”

Dewsbury, Guy, Rouncefield, Mark, Sommerville, Ian, Onditi, Victor and Bagnall, Peter (2007): Designing technology with older people. In Universal Access in the Information Society, 6 (2) pp. 207-217.

“Designing applications to support older people in their own homes is increasing in popularity and necessity. The increase in supporting older people in the community means that cash-strapped resources are required to be utilised in the most effective manner, which often lends itself to technology deployment, rather than human deployment as the former is perceived as more cost effective. Therefore, the concern arises as to how technology can be designed inclusively and acceptably to the people who are to receive it. This paper discusses the issue of design, and how these concerns have been addressed in a series of projects targeted towards directly supporting people in the community.”
