ABSTRACT

VALUES

In this project, we were charged with developing new ITsupported learning environment in Danish primary and
lower secondary schools. Throughout this project, we
conducted 10 workshops with different cohorts of
participants. However, to illustrate how we worked with
values, we will only discuss two of the workshops in this
paper. We chose these two workshops because they best
illustrate how we worked with values during the design
process. In particular, we will focus on describing how
we supported the emergence of values and how we
facilitated the further development of these emerged
values.
