6 key Elements of a situated Activity System Jordan Daniel
Interacting People • Who are you designing it for? • Old, Young, Men, Women, etc.? • Who is the target audience
Characteristics of a birthday party of a 10 year old. Of a concert.
Physical Setting • Everything affect the 5 senses • Visual • Auditory • Smell • Touch • Taste • Changing the setting can change the event • Know the limits of a setting • Settings can be manipulated
Examples • San Marcos vs College Station • Real life example: Concert near a paper mill
Leisure Objects • 3 types: Physical, Social, Symbolic • Identify the key objects! • What makes the event “happen”
Structure • Structure determines how interactions may or may not happen. • Rules/Regulations/Laws must be well thought out and planned in a meaningful way. • Do not over-regulate
How can structure make a difference? Give me some examples.
When you change the rules, you change the game. • Have to have uniformity across the board.
Relationships • Do the participants know each other? • How can this change the program? • What can you do to deal with this? • What problems can arise from this?
The situation: To promote open access to football games, an athletic department only allows 5 tickets to be purchased by a single person. What are the outcomes?
Animation • Set into motion and sustaining momentum • What would you do for a concert? • A wedding? • A party?
How do you handle animation without making it seem forced? • We have all been to “those” kind of parties
The Service Continuum • Facilitator vs Direct Provider • Programing Formats • Self directed • Clubs/ groups • Drop-in • Competition • Special events • Skill Development
Basketball • Lets decide which format is the right one for the activity
