The book will be split into two parts: WHAT is participatory design and HOW to do it. (Ok, there's an intro and a couple quick notes before that, too.) Each part has chapters. Each chapter will have an associated activity (maybe two). The activities are concrete things museum staff can do to plan and implement participatory design. Some will be creative/evocative (i.e. talk to visitors) and others will be more specific (i.e. fill out this survey). I'm working them out on the Activities page.

- What is Participatory Design? How is it different from other kinds of design?
- yes, it really is design
- approach the way you would approach didactic or interactive design
- difference: it's not constrained to the development process, can also be "live" on the floor (See section 2, chapter 1)
- focusing here on exhibits but has heavy ed program overlap, not focusing here on marketing/PR
- it's not just a way to get work done for free
- there are design frameworks and patterns that will be explored in this book
- participatory design starts with "me"
- asserting visitor as a partner in the experience
